If you’ve made the exciting decision to immigrate to Canada, known as one of the best countries in the world, it’s crucial to ensure you have all the necessary documentation in order. Whether you’re considering refuge, studying, or seeking sponsored immigration, each pathway has its specific requirements. However, we’ve compiled a list of the basic original documents you’ll need, regardless of the immigration category you choose:
- Birth Certificate
- Marriage Certificate (if applicable
- Medical Report: A comprehensive medical report stating your overall health condition and any regular medication you take. For some immigration processes, you will be asked to go to a consult with an embassy-sponsored doctor and he or she will submit it directly.
- Academic Documents: Gather the original transcripts and diplomas from your high school and any post-secondary education you have completed. Additionally, include any trade certificates you have obtained and diplomas of English or French courses or exams you have taken.
- Driver’s License and Driver’s Record: If you hold a driver’s license from your home country, bring it along with a separate document that verifies your years of driving experience. This will help validate your driving history and potentially expedite the process of obtaining a G2 license in Canada. Otherwise, you may be limited to a learner license or G1, which can impact your insurance costs and mobility.
- Financial Records: It’s a good idea to bring bank statements and your latest tax return, if available.
Keep in mind that all documents must be originals, not photocopies. If your country issues digital documents, a PDF file with a digital signature will suffice. Ensure that you scan all documents with a flat scanner set to a resolution of at least 600 dpi, as this is the minimum requirement set by Immigration Canada. Uploading images or files in formats like JPEG may lead to rejection.
