Practical order
- 1
Use the current IRCC instructions to identify the specific inside-Canada category that permits the applicant to file from Canada and record the current immigration status.
- 2
Obtain a valid letter of acceptance from the designated learning institution and verify the school, program, level, campus, start date and conditions.
- 3
Determine from the current official rules whether a PAL, TAL, Québec CAQ or documented exemption is required and obtain the applicable record before filing.
- 4
In the applicant’s own IRCC account, obtain the current checklist and prepare passport, status, admission, attestation, tuition, funds, study-purpose and family records it requests.
- 5
Complete the current online forms, upload the reviewed records, pay IRCC directly and save the official submission confirmation in the applicant’s account.
- 6
Complete biometrics, medical or additional-document requests by their account deadlines, then read the issued permit for institution, work, validity and other conditions.
