Show detail Hide detail

This accession consists of a selection of case files from Department of External Affairs' overseas posts which have immigration ("JID") units. JIDs deliver Immigration program services and carry out Immigration policy under the Immigration Act. The posts (a) process immigration applications, (b) process applications to visit Canada (in those cases where we require a visitor visa), (c) issue visas to successful applicants, (d) administer the first stage of immigrant assistance services, notably transportation loans, and (e) distribute general information on the Immigration program. There are approximately 140 to 143 foreign posts which fit into this category.
Documentation contained in these files includes: (a) the four page IMM 8 form (formerly O.S. 8 form) in which applicants for immigration to Canada give details on identification, including a photograph, and family, work and personal history; (b) notes and internal reports on an individual's personal history, suitability and status as observed by the visa officer; (c) local correspondence with the applicant; and (d) local internal correspondence re security and medical checks. Some files may also contain business plans for entrepreneurial applicants, as well as a copy of the IMM 1000 form, "Immigrant Visa and Record of Landing", and IMM 1343, the "Immigrant Assessment Record - Abroad".
Box one contains "F" sample files from Cairo, Egypt. Box two contains "F" sample files from Cairo, Rome and Warsaw, and "F" sample files and one "fat" file (a file measuring one inch or more in thickness) from Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.
There is no list of the files from Cairo.
