Check your physical permit document for the expiry date — the most common missing detail.

These questions mirror IRCC Schedule A background forms. Answer fully to avoid delays later.

Have you ever applied to IRCC before?

Ever refused a visa, permit, or entry (Canada or any country)?

Ever asked to leave, deported, or removed from any country?

Ever arrested, charged, or convicted of a crime in any country?

Any medical condition you believe IRCC may consider relevant?

Biometrics completed for current application?

List every country lived in 6+ months since age 18 — determines police certificates needed.

Family ties in Canada (check all that apply):

Add at least one job (most recent first). Use “Add job” for earlier positions.

Add at least one credential (degree, diploma, or certificate).

Status urgency (check if applicable):

Check all documents you currently have ready.

H&C (IRPA s.25) is an exceptional measure — not an alternative to a regular application. N/A is a normal answer. For a dedicated H&C assessment, use our Humanitarian & Compassionate form.

Would you face hardship, risk, or lack of medical care if you had to return home?

Subject to a removal order or waiting on a refugee claim decision?
