Immigration applications
inside Canada

Most of the applications you will need for immigration services inside Canada are available on this site. If you cannot use Adobe® Acrobat, you may obtain applications for use in Canada by ordering them electronically on the application page, or by contacting a CIC Call Centre.

If you wish to apply to live, work, study, or sponsor family or refugees in the province of Quebec, you should contact the Ministère d’Immigration et des Communautés culturelles (MICC).

Fees receipt

A fees receipt may be required for applications made in Canada. Consult your application guide.

You have two options to obtain a fees receipt:

  1. Payment of fees on the Internet
    If you have Adobe® Acrobat Reader software, a printer, and a Visa, MasterCard or American Express credit card, you can pay your fees online.
  2. Payment of fees at a financial institution in Canada
    If you cannot or do not wish to pay online, you must obtain an original receipt form IMM 5401 in order to pay at a financial institution. This form is not available on the website because an original receipt with a unique serial number must be used. You may order an original receipt by mail.
