What is Entire File?                                                           

Entire file could be requested from the immigration as well. For example, if you submitted a student visa application or a visitor’s visa application and did not retain a copy for yourself? Don’t worry; you can now acquire the Entire File by placing an order.

The Entire File as submitted to the visa office could be retrieved and it could include:

• Copies of all the forms submitted
• Documents related to the education
• Funds that were demonstrated
• Documents of the sponsor / inviter
• Letter of Acceptance and tuition fee payment receipts
• Travel Itinerary
• Copies of insurance
• And many more…..that were submitted along with the visa application

It could take around 30 days or more to acquire the Entire File from Canadian Visa Office.

Why you should get the Entire File?

You can never go wrong if you are in possession of the Entire File as it was submitted to the immigration. All the information and the documents provided to the immigration are now in your possession. You can always refer it before making another application to assure that all the information provided to the immigration previously is the same as being provided in the new application. Depending on the situation, you must decide whether to request the entire file or not as it may not be suitable for all the applicants. Though, it is highly recommended that you retain a copy of the Entire File with you for future references.

You should acquire copy of your Entire File if you are in one of the following situations:

• When you are reapplying for a visa and you want to assure correctness and consistency with the previous application
• You want to avoid any conflicts in the new application
• You lost the documents that were submitted in the visa application and now you want to submit that document in another application or to some other office
• When you want a copy of the IELTS, CELPIP or TEF certificate which was mailed to CIC
• When you want copies of employment references which were sent to CIC
• When you need copies of documents that were given along with your application
• You lost the communication letter that was issued to you in previous application
• You are unable to recall the information that was provided in your previous application
