PR card / citizenship document checklist is a starter you edit before anything is sent to IRCC. Replace every placeholder with your own facts. The finished file should stay under the size shown on this page, usually under 4 MB, and as a single PDF when the portal asks for one file per slot. This template is not an official IRCC form and it does not decide which documents your program requires. If the file is too large, split across scans, or still needs a signature, use the tool linked on this page, then read the result before you upload.
| Formats offered | PDF + Excel |
| IRCC target on upload | Each doc < 4 MB; photo per citizenship spec |
