Hello All,

Below are points that need to follow while sending application to below address under FSW- Category 1 (Ministerial Instructions)
Address:
Citizenship and Immigration Canada,
Federal Skilled Worker,
Centralized Intake Unit
196 George Street
Sydney, NS B1P 1J3

Points are :
• the application forms,
• a photocopy of your passport’s bio-data page, (principal applicant only)
• 2 self-addressed mailing labels one in English or French and the second in the official language of your country, and
• the payment.
Now my questions are
a. What is meaning of passport’s bio-data page??
My understanding is to photocopy all pages of passport because it contains different work permits and visa for different countries. In this way, CIU can understand that candidate has illegal passport and it is accepted by different countries.
b. In India, we have English/Hindi is official languages for communication. However now a day’s for all kind of communication English is mainly using only here. For example: From Bank to School/Collage etc.
Question: Is it enough if I provide 2 self address mailing labels in ENGLISH only to CIU, Sydney?

Thanks & Regards,
Abhishek

a) they dont care about your visa. photocopy just the biopage and passport extension page if applicable.
b) they ask for address label in english and the official language of your country. if english is one of the official language of your country, then its english and english.

are you doing proof of address or address label. Look at my common question again to see how I created my address label.

Thanks Rupeshhari,

I checked common questions topic and your reply.

I will do the same
printouts of my name and address on the same piece of paper( A4) but in a medium size font (i.e. not less than 12 for sure).
