Tips for a successful Canada PR application

An overview of the Canada PR visa application process will make you realize that there are many immigration programs through which to apply. Each immigration program has its own eligibility requirements, selection process and processing time.

Some of these immigration programs are points-based while some operate on a first-come, first-serve basis while some programs require a sponsor. Some of these programs are open on a continuous basis while some are not.

Your Canada PR application might have a maximum quota and even if you meet the eligibility requirements, you could miss out if your application is late. The high quota can make you believe that you have a fair chance of your visa getting approved because it will be some time before the quota expires. You cannot be too sure about this because some of these programs will hit the maximum limit within days of receiving applications.

You can never be sure of the outcome of your PR application.  Follow these tips for a positive result.

Choose the right immigration program:

To choose the right immigration program, you must do your research to decide which one is right for you and more importantly which will ensure a greater chance of success in getting your PR visa.

This is where the help of an immigration consultant will be valuable. The consultant will help you with submitting your application on time so that you do not miss out on the deadlines or closing dates that will be a setback to your application success.

An immigration consultant will help you with answers to all your questions, give you a proper explanation of the application process and help you choose the right immigration program.

Follow the documentation checklist:

Get the information for documentation from the right source. Read and review the list of required documents from the official website multiple times to understand what documents you will need before you submit your application.

Some of the documents may take weeks or even months to process, so factor in this time because last-minute attempts to get these documents could delay your application process. For instance, a police background check, or reference letters could take more time than expected in your country. You must start collecting the required documents well in advance to ensure you follow the documentation checklist.

The checklist could be unique based on your specific circumstances or your immigration program, you must provide every item in the checklist.

Follow the instructions:

When filling out the Canada PR application form, take care to read all the instructions. You could miss out on the crucial details. Also check with the official CIC site to ensure you are filling the current, updated forms for your PR application. Follow the instructions so that there are no errors in your application.

Keep track of the expiry dates:

The required documents for your PR application may have different expiry dates, so you must keep track of these dates to ensure that the documents are valid when your application is processed.

 Be honest in providing details:

Any misrepresentation of facts in your application form could lead to rejection. For instance, if it is discovered that you gave false information for entering the Express Entry pool, you could be banned from re-entering the pool or entering Canada for the next five years.

 If it is discovered that you gave false information to get your PR visa, it could be revoked, and you may have to even leave the country.

Your Canada PR application process can be successful if you diligently follow the steps. The help of an immigration consultant will be valuable in choosing the right immigration program for a positive outcome.
