Transitioning to online applications for permanent residence
As part of IRCC efforts to modernize Canada’s immigration system and improve client service, IRCC is transitioning to 100% online applications for most permanent immigration programs.
This online option gives individuals more flexibility to apply from their devices and allows them to receive immediate confirmation that they have successfully submitted their application. The portal has been expanded and is currently open to most permanent residence program applicants.
