What does the new simplified application process entail?
Simplified kits and forms have been developed to guide applicants through the new process. Applicants are required to fill out and submit a three-page form plus the processing fees, which secures them a place in the queue. All supporting documents are requested later, approximately four months before the visa office is ready to assess the application. A letter of receipt provides advice to the applicant on labour-market preparation encouraging prospective immigrants to make maximum use of the waiting period by, for example, enrolling in courses to upgrade their language skills.
