Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)<\/a>, Canada’s immigration authority, makes the ultimate determination of eligibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To check that applicants are not a danger to national security concerns, Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS<\/a>) and Canada Border Services Agency or (CBSA<\/a>) provide security assessments to IRCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IRCC will decide if you are applying for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- citizenship<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- a study permit<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- a work permit<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- an eTA<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- a visitor visa<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- permanent resident<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- a temporary residence permit<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- refugee status from outside Canada<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
Necessary Documents for A Security Screening<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
IRCC generally requires these documents:<\/p>\n\n\n
Biometrics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
\n![\"Biometrics\"](\"https:\/\/felonyfriendlyjobs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Biometrics.webp\")
Canada<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n The fundamental justification for biometrics is that they are necessary as soon as an applicant obtains the Invitation to Apply (ITA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your fingerprints and a picture are examples of biometrics. Only approved biometric collecting locations may capture your fingerprints and picture for Canadian immigration. The prices and charges differ across nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A visa office in your native nation is often a permitted location for biometric data collection.<\/p>\n\n\n
Health History and Medical Examination<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
Without the outcome of a medical exam, an application cannot go on to the background check phase. Panel doctors can only perform these and have clinics within and outside Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will receive an email from IRCC before your Immigration Medical Examination (IME). It would be best if you didn’t start the medical checkup until after that. Keep in mind that you must pass this medical examination to be eligible for a background check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must submit the findings of a medical examination and health history performed by a panel physician that the IRCC recognizes for the background investigation to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n
Police Certificate or Clearance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
The police clearance certificates provide information about a candidate’s criminal record<\/a>. It is specifically a history of the applicant’s prior criminal offenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The impact of having a criminal record might be lessened by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Evidence of rehabilitation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Proof of consistently good behavior (e.g., certificates of employment, receipts for the payment of parking tickets)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Evidence of a completed sentence five years before the immigration application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
A Valid Passport<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Canadianvisa<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n A current passport<\/a> is a necessary form of identification when applying for any visa to Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Different Changes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
After getting the ITA, you must notify IRCC of any status changes to maintain consistency. These modifications can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Your email address<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Household address<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Occupational status (change or loss thereof)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Marriage status<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Family Consistency (e.g., childbirth or the death of a spouse or child)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Education or additional training<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You could be requested to amend your information throughout the background or security investigation. Be careful to take note of the information’s date of modification. Ensure all of the information you provide the IRCC is truthful and correct.<\/p>\n\n\n

IRCC Fees<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
Government processing fees are a requirement of IRCC for most visa applicants. These costs remain the same regardless of your nationality or place of origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The system will provide a list of the costs you must pay when you complete the online form in its entirety and upload your supporting documentation. These are some of the items on this list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- processing fee for you and your family members<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- right of permanent residence fee<\/li>\n\n\n\n

The Security Screening Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
Now that the police background check is complete and attention has shifted to a person’s security profile, let’s talk about the background checks that the IRCC conducts.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"Security](\"https:\/\/felonyfriendlyjobs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Security-Screening-Process.webp\")
Gcmsnotes<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n An IRCC officer must finish the eligibility evaluation on any application for a temporary visa or a permanent resident visa before a security screening process begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If they don’t grant you a visa, there is often no need for a security check since they will return your application. Your security screening will start if you are eligible and pass the eligibility evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note that this often indicates that you have also successfully passed the eligibility review’s criminality check. In other words, you must be eligible to visit Canada on a temporary or long-term visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When an IRCC representative processes your application for a temporary or permanent visa, admissibility is often determined. There will be a judgment of inadmissibility for the following security grounds; however, the ultimate judgment will depend on these particular circumstances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
