Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to your questions in the list of frequently asked questions below.
Am I eligible?
We have an online tool called "Come to Canada”. It helps foreign nationals find out if they are eligible to immigrate, visit, study or work in Canada.
This tool will guide you through a series of questions about your personal and work history. Based on your answers and situation, you will receive:
- a list of available options, and
- step-by-step instructions on how to apply
If you are eligible to visit, work, or study in Canada, you may be able to apply online. The tool will take you to the page where you can create an account and complete your application online. You may also have the option to submit a paper application.
If you are eligible for permanent residence through the Express Entry program, you must apply online (unless you’re unable to due to a disability). The tool will guide you to where you can create an account and complete the application.
If you qualify for permanent residence through any other program, you must submit a paper application.

To find out if you can apply for permanent residence, try the "Come to Canada” tool. This tool will help you determine which immigration program is best suited to your situation.

- step-by-step instructions on how to apply
The tool helps you understand the requirements for immigrating, visiting, studying, or working in Canada. However, to actually move to Canada, you must still submit the correct application forms.
To maintain your permanent resident status, you must stay in Canada for at least 730 days within the past five years. 730 days do not have to be continuous. Some time spent outside Canada may also count toward these 730 days.
To help you keep track of your time in Canada, use a travel journal.
Complete the application form
Your application number is different from your Unique Client Identifier (UCI) or client ID number.
If you have multiple applications, they will share:
- the same UCI or client ID, but
- different application numbers
The application number is unique to each of your applications. It is created when your application begins processing.
How to find your application number:
- Look at the top corner of any letter you receive from IRCC, such as:
- the Acknowledgment of Receipt (sent after you submit your application),
- an invitation to take a test or attend a citizenship ceremony (letter or email),
- or other correspondence.
- Log into your online account (if you applied online) and check under “View submitted applications” or “Messages” section.
Application numbers usually consist of 1 letter followed by 9 digits. For example:
- Citizenship: C123456789
- Work permit: W993830598
- Economic class immigration: E099977028
UCI stands for “Unique Client Identifier.” It is also called a client identification number (client ID). Your UCI appears on official documents you receive from us. It may be:
- 4 digits, a hyphen, and another 4 digits (e.g., 0000-0000) or
- 2 digits, a hyphen, 4 digits, another hyphen, and another 4 digits (e.g., 00-0000-0000)
If this is your first time applying to IRCC, you won’t have a UCI yet. If you are filling out a form that asks for a UCI, write “Not applicable” or “N/A” in the space provided. If you are applying online and the form doesn’t allow you to enter “N/A,” leave the space blank.
Check if there are special instructions for you
Some applicants must follow special instructions to apply for an open work permit. This applies to:
- Citizens of Ukraine
- Recent graduates from Hong Kong
- Spouses or common-law partners being sponsored in Canada
- Vulnerable workers in Canada who have been abused
If you’re applying from outside Canada:
In the “Details of Intended Work in Canada” section of the IMM 1295 form:
- Select “Open work permit” for question 1
- Leave questions 2 to 6 blank
Pay the fees:
- $100 for the open work permit holder
- $155 for the work permit processing fee
If you’re applying from inside Canada:
In the “Details of Intended Work in Canada” section of the IMM 5710 form:
- Select “Open work permit” for question 1
- Leave questions 2 to 8 blank
Pay the fees:
- $100 for the open work permit holder
- $155 for the work permit processing fee
Unless instructed otherwise, all supporting documents must be in English or French. If a document is not in English or French, you must include:
- a translation into English or French, and
- a sworn affidavit from the person who completed the translation, and
- a certified copy of the original document
If IRCC refuses your immigration application, you can apply again at any time—unless the decision letter says you cannot. You should only reapply if you can provide information that you did not include previously. If you had valid status and lost it (for example, if your work permit expired and you didn’t extend it in time), you may have a short period to apply again. Check your decision letter for details.
There is no formal appeal process. However, if you believe the visa officer made a legal error, you can send the details to the following address:
Case Management
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
Jean Edmonds North Tower
300 Slater Street, 9th Floor
Ottawa ON K1A 1L1
In some cases, you may request a judicial review by the Federal Court of Canada. This is not an appeal on the merits of the case. Instead, the review examines the process that led to the decision to determine whether it was fair and reasonable.
Pay application fee
Yes, it is possible. The name on the payment receipt does not have to match the name on the application. As long as the correct fee amount is paid, IRCC will accept the payment for your application.
Submit application
The Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) is a fee that applicants must pay when their application is approved. Permanent residence will not be granted if you do not pay the RPRF.
The Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) applies to all permanent resident applicants except:
- Dependent children of the principal applicant or main sponsor, adopted children, or orphaned siblings, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren
- Protected persons, including refugees
The RPRF can be paid at the same time as your application fee to avoid delays in processing. If you do not pay the RPRF upfront, IRCC will contact you with instructions on how to pay.
If you pay the RPRF in advance and your application is refused, the fee will be refunded.
