New Simplified Application Process
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) introduces a new simplified application
process for most federal skilled workers. Under this process, you submit only a
basic application form and fee. This guarantees your place in the processing
queue, meaning that the regulations in effect on that date will apply to your
application. When the visa office is ready to assess your application, you will
be asked to send the required supporting documentation.
Who should use the simplified application process?
Most applicants will qualify for the simplified application process.
You must use the simplified application process unless you:
Are a provincial nominee; or
Have been selected by Quebec; or
Are eligible for points for arranged employment; or
Have a legal temporary resident status in Canada as a worker or
A student and are submitting your application at the Canadian visa office in Buffalo; or
Have a legal status in the United States and are submitting your application through the Canadian visa office in Buffalo.
