documents issued by the government in your home country. It certifies or confirms
your citizenship status and identity while you move out of your country. You must

spouse, children, etc.

It is a conditional authorization provided by a country to an immigration applicant
to enter and live in the country for the period as defined in the authorization itself.
It is usually a stamp endorsed on the passport and other travel documents of the
immigration applicant.

3. Proof of Language Proficiency


English and French are the official languages in Canada. Hence, you must carry the
language proficiency test results in any of the both languages (i.e. IELTS test for
English).
