IMM 0008: Generic Application Form for Canada

IMM 0008 is the core application form used across several permanent residence programs, capturing personal, family, and background details as the backbone of the application package.

What to know before you fill it out

It's usually paired with several schedule forms, including some of the others on this page. Double-check every field before validating, errors here can hold up the whole application, and validate it in the software you filled it in so any barcode is generated correctly.

Frequently asked questions

Why won't my IMM 0008 open properly after I download it?

This usually means it's still in its fillable state and needs to be validated inside the software you used to complete it. Once validated, flatten it before merging it with other documents.
