Step-by-Step Application Process
IRCC Online Submission
Register a GCKey account on the Canadian Government portal. Methodically answer all questionnaires, upload your financial history and a compelling letter of explanation, then pay the CAD 100 fee.
VFS Biometrics Mission
Shortly after paying, you'll be emailed a 'Biometric Instruction Letter'. You must take this to the local VFS Global center to furnish your fingerprints.
The Passport Request
Processing times out of Turkey can be excruciatingly slow (several months). If successfully judged, IRCC will electronically command you to surrender your passport so they can affix the visa counterfoil.
