Keep all your documents in one safe folder

Every appointment starts with your documents. Organise them now.

Where to do this

At home: a paper folder for originals, with scanned copies kept separately and securely.

What to bring

• A passport for each family member
• Your status document: COPR or PR card, work or study permit, or asylum-claim papers
• Birth and marriage certificates
• Diplomas and transcripts
• Immunization records, especially for children

What to do, step by step

1. Make a separate folder for each family member.
2. Scan every document and keep copies away from the originals.
3. Before each appointment, check the office’s list: original or copy? Certified translation or not?
4. Never send document photos to strangers on WhatsApp or unknown links.

Note: not every document is needed at every appointment. zaayt.com never asks for your documents or SIN.
