How to create accounts for additional DLI users

Primary DLI users can send IRCC Portal invitation codes to other employees of their DLI who also need to validate letters.

Additional users are also referred to as secondary users.

Using a unique email address

The primary and secondary user email addresses must be different for each DLI number.

If the primary or secondary users are already signed up in the IRCC Portal for a purpose other than the verification process, a different email address must be used to register.

To issue an invitation code to a secondary user, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to the IRCC Portal.
  2. Click Create a DLI user account, under Create an account for a DLI user.
  3. Enter the email address of the user you would like to add.

  4. Click New request.

The new user will receive an invitation code by email and will be able to create their own account.

DLIs may send a request to modify the primary user or remove secondary users as needed. Changing the primary user does not affect existing secondary users.
