• Fill out the forms using a computer and when you are done:
  • validate the Generic Application Form for Canada [IMM 0008] online, print the barcode page and sign where indicated. Include the barcode page with your application; and
  • print the other forms and sign where indicated.
• Answer all questions carefully, completely and truthfully. Incomplete application packages will not be processed and will be returned to you. There are serious consequences for applicants who misrepresent or withhold relevant information on their application.
• You must complete all the forms, a few of which include:
  • the Generic Application Form for Canada [IMM 0008]
  • the Schedule A: Background/Declaration
  • the Schedule 5: Declaration of Intent to Reside in Quebec
  • the Additional Family Information
  • the Use of a Representative. It is not mandatory to fill out this form. You must complete it only if you want to use a representative to help you apply. Using a representative is a personal choice. Find out more about using immigration representatives.
  • the Document Checklist to make sure that you include all the other forms and documents you need.

• You will have to pay:

  • the processing fee for you and your dependants. This is not refundable, even if your application is not approved.
  • the Right of Permanent Residence fee for you and your accompanying spouse or common-law partner, if applicable. You will need to pay this fee if your application is approved. It must be paid before Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) issues your permanent resident visa. This fee is refundable if you withdraw your application, if your application is not approved or if you do not use your visa.

  You will also have to pay fees to third parties for:

  • your medical exam;
  • a police certificate, if you need one; and
  • language testing, as required.

Fill out the Fee Payment Form—Application for Permanent Residence (IMM 5620) (PDF, 29 KB) and include it with your application to the Centralized Intake Office (CIO). Online payments are not accepted by the CIO. See the application guide for more detailed information on fees.

Make sure that:

• your application and all forms are completed and signed;
• your processing fee is included; and
• all required supporting documents are included.

Use the Document Checklist included in the guide to make sure you have not forgotten anything.

You must also include your Quebec certificate of selection.

CIC will return your application to you if supporting documents or processing fees are missing, or if your forms are not completed and signed. If you validate the Generic Application Form for Canada [IMM 0008] online, print and include the barcode page, it will help ensure your application is complete and will avoid delays.

Mail your completed application and your fee to the CIO in Sydney, Nova Scotia (Canada):
