What Happens next
To process permanent resident applications, CIC will:
review your application to make sure it’s complete,
determine if you are eligible to apply to become a permanent resident of Canada,
tell you when your application has been put into processing,
send you instructions on how to complete a medical exam, if you did not get your medical before sending in your application,
perform a security screening, to make sure all applicants do not pose a risk to the safety and security of Canadians,
determine if you need to attend an interview, and
inform you of the decision made on your application.
