Biometrics

If you have to give biometrics, we'll send you a biometric instruction letter (BIL) which will direct you to a list of biometric collection service points you may choose from.

You must bring the BIL with you to the biometric collection service point to give your biometrics.

Processing your application

An immigration officer will make sure that you:

• filled out your application forms correctly (and signed them, when required)
• paid your fees
• submitted proof of qualifying work experience
• included all required documents and information specified in the Document Checklist [IMM 5981] (PDF, 3.39 MB)

If your application isn’t complete, it won’t be processed and will be sent back to you.

Your application will be delayed if:

• there are criminal or security problems or we need to do more background checks
• your family situation is not clear – reasons could include a divorce or an adoption that is not yet complete or child custody issues that have not been resolved, or
• the processing office has to contact other IRCC offices in Canada or abroad to verify the data you gave

You can check the status of your application online after we’ve started processing your application.

Decision on your application

We'll make a decision on your application based on:

• whether you meet the eligibility criteria,
• if you submitted a complete application, including the fees, and
• if you are admissible to Canada

We’ll contact you if you need to send more documents.
