I’m doing an online application at the Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website. How do I upload an extra document when there is no line for it?

The GO-ISSO sometimes recommends that students include additional documents to make their study permit or work permit application clearer or more convincing.

The IRCC online application takes only one PDF document for each “Upload” button. However, you can combine several PDFs into one file and then upload that. If you don’t know how to do this on your computer, there are free websites that offer a “merge PDF” function. Check their privacy policy before uploading your personal documents.

You can also use IRCC’s optional “Client Information” line for additional documents.

It is most important to include all relevant documents somewhere in the application; less important exactly where they go.
