How to sign the Form IMM5707 (study or work permit to Canada)

Signing the Canadian immigration form IMM5707 is one step that often causes confusion among members of pvtistes.net.

First, to retrieve the form, you must:

1. Find it and download it. It can be found on the personal list of documents in your canada.ca account, or on the Canadian government’s website.
2. Open it. Some members have reported seeing an error message. If that’s your case, follow these steps.
3. Complete it fully and correctly.
4. Sign it. To do so, you have two options, explained below.

Option 1 for signing the form IMM5707 (recommended)

Once you are at the step of signing your completed application for a study or work permit to Canada, your signature will be automatically applied to this form as well; you don’t need to worry about adding a date or signature separately for it.

In other words, as long as you sign and submit your permit/visa application file, you can rest assured knowing that there is no way that you will “forget” to sign this form – it is done automatically.

Option 2

Alternatively, you can:

1. Print it.
2. Sign it by hand.
3. Scan and upload it.

This option is more complicated, which is why we recommend option 1.
