What materials are needed for Canada Visa?

[xander78]

Hi all

I hired a consultant company to process the PR or PR related visa materials for me, and I found that Canada government requires a ton of detailed materials, in my opinion, it is even restrict than the US visa application.

For example, it requires my past 10 years addresses, my middle school names and time, parents’ birth location, etc.

I mean the employment verification letter, police certificate, funds proof, etc. make sense to me. But my parents’ birthday and location? I found it quite uncomfortable, and not just me, even my parents felt super strange

Is there a place to see why these documents are required? Thanks

What visa? You are posting under immigration, which is not a visa.

So what program were you invited through - Express Entry? If EE, post questions under Express Entry. You will get more accurate responses.

Yes, this level of information is required if you are applying for PR. If you are not comfortable providing it then applying for PR isn't going to be an option for you. You can see the full requirements on the IRCC web site. You will need to know which actual program you are applying under.

This is the section that you can find more information. Doesn't look straight forward to me.
Agree that if you are not comfortable with disclosing your information to IRCC, may be immigration isn't for you.

You need to read the full details of the program. Not just that page. If you aren't going to click on links and read everything, then hire an immigration lawyer to do this for you. For example, here's one page with more info: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5759-application-permanent-residence-business-immigration-program-start-business-class.html

Parent and sibling information is used for future applications related to them and yourself (Super Visa, PR , etc) not sure why identifying this makes you uncomfortable, but the intention is to protect the integrity of the program and Canadians from fraudulent activities. If you want the PR, then you're going to have to supply that data....simple as that.

And if IRCC questions make you uncomfortable, wait till you start dealing with CRA who are going to track your address, employers, earnings, taxes, transfers, deposits, investmens and trust funds....foreign and domestic.
