Immigration Status

The Canadian government issues many immigration documents after someone applies for one of the federal immigration programs. Temporary and permanent residents use these documents to show their eligibility when applying for services and other benefits. Service providers need to have a basic understanding of the different immigration categories and statuses to best serve their clients.
