    Open the linked category instructions and record the required status, relationship, program, application or vulnerability facts and the period for which the category applies.

    Prepare passport and current status plus the exact school, family, principal-person, PR-application, employment or protection records named by the selected category.

  4. 4

    Answer the live IRCC account questions for the selected category and retain the resulting work-permit checklist before completing forms.
