Do I need to sign the online application form for Canadian visa 57 13 by hand?

IMM57 13E is a family member form. This form needs the signature of family members, so I will print out the signed name and scan it with a scanner.

Specifically, it is the following steps:

1. Click on the online application on the website of the Canadian Immigration Bureau www.cic.gc.ca, and then conduct a test first to see if you can use online signing. Basically, just answer truthfully. It needs to be mentioned here, because my husband and I went to the United States on 20 10, and I don't know if this is a necessary condition for online signing. Anyway, we passed the test and then the system will give it to you. I applied in July 2065438+2004. It seems that there are fewer problems now than before, only some basic problems, which is one of the differences.

2. Register my cic account;

3. Submit application materials: When reading the Raiders, everyone encountered many difficulties when submitting materials online. I think it should be a Canadian website. Because the website is abroad and the Internet access is not so smooth, I submit the materials directly through the international special line, so there is basically no failure to upload or the page cannot be displayed due to network problems. There are really few materials submitted now. I think my husband is the main applicant. He needs to fill in three forms, IMM5257E, IMM5707E and IMM57 13E. I only need to fill in two forms, IMM5257E and IMM5707E, which are personal information forms and IMM5707E is immediate family information forms. These forms do not need to be signed. In addition to these required forms, the necessary materials include: photos of two people (in the format required by the website), scanned marriage certificate, passport information page of two people, scanned exit visa page, and entry and exit signature page. In addition, you can also submit two optional materials online: one is an explanatory letter, and the other is called schedule A. In the explanatory letter, we simply wrote that we will travel to Canada for a few days, plan to visit some cities in the east and west, and visit friends by the way. It's simple. I thought schedual needed a detailed itinerary, but it could not be uploaded in either word format or pdf format. As far as I'm concerned, this is optional material, so I don't care. Anyway, all other necessary materials have been provided.

4. Online payment, the visa fee per person is 65,438+000 Canadian dollars, so pay by credit card. Later, the bill showed 1, 177.67 RMB 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. Submit the materials online on July 10, and finally receive the notice on July 17, and you can submit your passport at the visa service center. I think it usually takes about 5 working days online, and we happen to have 5 working days.

E-mail is sent by 5. MYCIC usually displays new messages, so you need to log in to view them. Here is a very important pdf file, which gives the UID number and barcode of each applicant. This document needs to be printed and submitted to the visa application center together with the passport. This delivery process can also be delivered by the courier or by himself. We just asked my husband to send it directly to the visa application center near Dongsishitao. At this time, we still need to pay a service fee of 16 1 yuan per person (the online sign is cheaper than 40 yuan's materials delivered to the door), and then because he was too lazy to pick them up, he chose to send the passport back by express. This service costs 47.5 RMB per person.

The whole application process is over. To sum up, applications were submitted through the website on July 14, 17 and 14, and passports were submitted directly to the visa service center on July 18. The process of issuing a visa is a bit long. I received the visa through EMS in August 1. I also need to remind you that if your passport has a short validity period, I suggest you change it first, because Canada only gives you a visa one day before its validity period, and the longest one is 10 years. At that time, it was discussed for a long time, and I was too lazy to get a passport with a hukou, so the visa was valid for more than two years, but I don't think I will go that far often.
