CANADA ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM

Procedures of registering a companion visa application

To apply for a spouse’s work permit, you usually need to follow the steps below:

1. Eligibility Determination: Make sure you meet the eligibility requirements for a spouse work permit. In general, you must be legally married to a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and your spouse must be willing to support your application.
2. Gather the required documents: Gather the necessary documents for your application, which may include the following:

     – Valid passport

     – Marriage certificate or proof of legal relationship with your spouse

     – Your spouse’s citizenship or permanent residency in Canada

     – Job offer letter from a Canadian employer

     – Completed application forms

     – Proof of payment of application fees

     – Other supporting documents specified by the immigration authorities

3. Submit application: Submit your application for spouse’s work permit to the immigration office or the relevant online portal. Ensure that all forms are completed accurately and include all required documents as per the instructions provided.
4. Payment of application fees: In order to register an accompanying visa application, people must pay their application fees online so that their application can be registered and reviewed.
5. Checking documents: checking your documents may be different from other people accompanying the applicant, so the time of announcing the results is also different. It is recommended that you check the current processing times on the official website of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or consult a qualified immigration consultant for the most up-to-date information.
6. Attend a biometric appointment (if required): Depending on your country of residence, you may be required to provide biometric information (fingerprints and photos). If needed, you will receive instructions on how to schedule and attend a biometric appointment.
7. Willingness for other documents: During the processing of your application, you may be asked to provide additional information or, if necessary, participate in an interview with the immigration authorities. Cooperate fully and provide any requested documents promptly.
