IMM5713E is a family member form. This form requires signatures from family members, so I printed it out and signed it, then scanned it with a scanner and submitted it.

To be specific, these are the following steps:

1. Click on the online application on the Canadian Immigration Bureau website www.cic.gc.ca, and then take a test first to see if you Whether it is possible to apply for online visa, basically just answer truthfully. I need to say something here because my husband and I went to the United States in 2010. I don’t know if this is a necessary condition for online visa. Anyway, we passed the test, and then The system will give you a number. This number will be used in subsequent applications, so you need to save it. I applied in July 2014. It seems that there are many fewer questions now than before. There are only some basic questions. This is one of the differences;

2. Register a my cic account;

< p>3. Submit application materials: When reading the guide, everyone said they encountered many difficulties when submitting materials online. I think it must be the reason for the Canadian website. Since the website is abroad, Internet access is not so smooth, so I went directly through the international dedicated line. Submitted materials, so there is basically no upload failure or page failure due to network problems. There are really few materials to submit now. I am considering my husband as the main applicant. He needs to fill in 3 forms IMM5257E, IMM5707E and IMM5713E. I only need to fill in two forms IMM5257E and IMM5707E. IMM5257E is a personal information form and IMM5707E is a direct line. Relative information forms, these forms do not require signatures, but IMM5713E is a family member form. This form requires family members to sign, so I printed out the signed names, and then scanned and submitted them with a scanner. In addition to these forms that must be filled in, there are also necessary materials including: photos of the two people (required formats are available on the website), scanned copies of marriage certificates, information pages of their passports, exit visa pages and exit and entry visas. Scanned copies of chapters and pages. In addition, you can submit two optional materials online: one is an explanation letter, and the other is called schedule A. In the explanation letter, we simply wrote about how many days we are going to travel to Canada, and we plan to visit some cities in the east and west. , dropping in to see friends, very simple. I originally thought that the schedule required a detailed itinerary plan, but neither the word format nor the pdf format could be uploaded. I saw that it was an optional material anyway, so I ignored it because the other required materials were already provided. .

4. For online payment, the visa fee per person was 100 Canadian dollars. I paid with my credit card. The bill later showed that it was 1,177.67 yuan for two people. After the payment is successful, you will soon receive an email from MyCIC informing you that the application has been received and they need to process it. I submitted the materials online on July 10th, and finally received the notification on July 17th that I could submit my passport to the Visa Service Center. I read online that it usually takes about 5 working days, and ours is exactly 5 working days.

5. The emails sent by MYCIC will usually show new messages. You need to log in to the system to view the messages. There is a pdf file here that is very important. It gives the UID number and barcode of each applicant. This needs to be Print the document and submit it to the visa application center together with your passport. You can also choose express delivery or send it yourself for this delivery process. We just asked my husband to deliver it directly to the visa application center near Dongsijitiao. At this time, we still need to pay more, a service fee of ￥161 per person (online visa application) (40 yuan cheaper than on-site delivery of materials), and because he was too lazy to pick it up again, he chose express delivery to send the passport back. This service costs ￥47.5 per person.

The entire application process is over. To summarize: Submit the application through the website on July 10, 2014. After passing the online visa on July 17 and receiving the notification, you can submit your passport. On July 18, you can submit your passport directly. It was handed over to the Visa Service Center, and the process of issuing the visa was a bit long. I only received the visa through EMS on August 1st. The start time of the visa was the time when the online visa was passed - July 17th, and the end time was when the validity of our passport expired. the day before.

I also need to remind you that if the validity period of your passport is very short, it is recommended to change your passport first, because Canada only gives visas until the day before the passport is valid, and the longest is 10 years. We discussed it for a long time, but we were too lazy. We then took our household registration book to apply for a passport, so the visa is only valid for more than 2 years, but I guess we won’t go to such a far away place often.
