4.2 What documents should be submitted in support of my application for permanent residence?

Each visa office has specific requirements regarding the submission of supporting documentation. It is advisable to seek expert guidance or instructions from Bridge2Canada delegate.

Each visa office has specific timing requirements, but usually, supporting documents are submitted at the same time as your completed application forms and processing fees. Brigde2Canda delegate will give you a list of documents required.

All supporting documentation in a language other than English or French must be accompanied by an English or French translation, as translated by a certified translator.

Processing of the file will start again from the beginning at the new visa office. The fee for transferring an application is presently CAD$100. This option is not advisable.
