The documents and steps
behind every application.
Plain guidance on the recurring documentation and milestones that come up across Canadian immigration pathways — from proof of funds to citizenship.
Documentation guides.
Most economic immigration pathways require applicants to show settlement funds — money genuinely available to support yourself and your family after arrival in Canada.
Almost every Canadian immigration application requires a police certificate from every country you have lived in for an extended period — proof you do not have a disqualifying criminal history.
Most Canadian immigration applicants must complete a medical exam with an IRCC-approved panel physician to confirm they meet health admissibility requirements.
An ECA verifies that your foreign degree, diploma, or certificate is equivalent to a completed credential in Canada — a required step for most Express Entry applicants educated outside Canada.
The PR card is your official proof of permanent resident status in Canada and the document you use to re-enter Canada by commercial transportation after traveling abroad.
After meeting a minimum period of physical presence as a permanent resident, most PRs become eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship — the final step in a long-term immigration journey.
