This declaration never replaces official IRCC documents — it serves as temporary or supplementary confirmation when they are not enough on their own to establish the current situation.
In what situations is it requested?
- a recent status change not yet reflected on official documents;
- a status application still being processed, with no final document available;
- a lost or stolen status document, pending replacement;
- a request from an employer or organization requiring additional confirmation.
What should the declaration contain?
- the declarant's full identity;
- the current immigration status and the relevant circumstances;
- a reference to any pending documents or processes, if applicable;
- a statement of truthfulness.
Does it need to be sworn?
This depends on the receiving organization. Always check its exact requirements before having your declaration sworn.
Can it be sworn online?
Yes, when the document and situation are eligible for remote oath commissioning, by videoconference.
