IRCC has been testing a new Permanent Resident Portal for applicants who are applying for Permanent Resident under the following programs:
- Provincial nominee program (non-Express Entry)
- Rural and northern immigration pilot
- Agri-food pilot
- Atlantic immigration program
- Start-up visa
- Self-employed people (federal and Quebec)
- Quebec-selected skilled workers, entrepreneurs and investors
- Sponsoring a spouse, partner, dependent child or other family
- Adopting a child through the immigration process
- Protected persons and convention refugees in Canada
- Humanitarian and compassionate grounds
- Temporary resident permit holders applying for permanent residence
- Home Support Worker Pilot
The applications themself do not change, but you will be uploading the documents and some forms in the portal while other forms are replaced by web forms that have almost the same format as the forms.
IRCC also implemented a Permanent Resident Online Portal for Immigration Representatives. That means that as of now we will also be able to apply online on your behalf. You will be able to see what is uploaded and filled out in the web forms and at the end sign the application when satisfied that everything is correct and accurate.
