Work Permit Application online
- Thread starter Sujan Kingston
- Start date
Online application is better ...there’s is no postal transit time ....so time saved.... but u should be prepared with all the scanned doc and limit for each file is 4mb for each doc ..this takes a lot of time to get ready with application..so be ready with all docs in time ... once ready u can apply online in a jiffy
Thanks for your response. have you tried/have applied online? I do think online application is faster but online payment is an issue from my Country,does to pay fees card have to be registered in my name?how can i merge all the application/scan documents together to send it all. Online application system is very limited where you are asked couple documents and how shall i name them?
As suggested above, apply online is significantly faster (in addition to the mailing time, IRCC does not need to scan the documents... so the difference can be *months* -- you can check processing times at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/). Also online you get a confirmation of receipt of application immediately, which is very useful.
I am unsure about your credit card. Naming of docs is not really relevant (just use something reasonable, not 100 letters long file name...). To put additional info, there is a "Letter of Explanation" field, where you can upload a single file to explain whatever you wish. You may need to combine several files into 1 pdf. The 4MB limit is not really significant, it is more or less 10-15 well readable color scanned pages at optimal compression.
If i merged all documents in different required fields then what about 4 Mb limit size?what if all documents into 1 pdf files makes up 10 Mb?
Just merged it all and almost 15 pages are just for employment records which has size of 10 Mb.
Hi just use free online pdf compressor

Do extreme compression for very big files
And recheck quality .. based on required mb

Each single file must be less than 4MB (or you won't be able to upload). The total combined size of all files in all fields can exceed this.
Thanks for the info and i have been trouble figuring out something in come to Canada wizard which ask the following :
Are you of working age, and a dependent of a person who is (or will be):

Hi, I am quite unsure about this, so I am answering what I can?
Employment record generally means "what jobs you held in the past", while "Employmeny reference letter" is a letter from past employer detailing duties, salary, work hours, etc. (it is very detailed).
Proof that you meet the requirement of job being offered?
Some jobs require to to have a certification or some level of degree. E.g. if the job is a medical surgeon, it may require some certification...
Schedule 1 - Application for a Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside Canada (IMM 5257)
yes, you need a TRV unless you are from exempt countries
Note: your greatest hurdle will be LMIA, it is a lengthy and expensive process that very few employers are willing to go through (and must be done by an employer before hiring temporary foreign workers.)

Hi Suijan,
