Documents Needed

  • Affidavit of support

    Financial support document that can be missed during initial submission.

  • Webform submission

    The channel used to add a missing document after the fact.

Step-by-Step

If you realize after biometrics and medicals that you forgot to include an affidavit of support, you don't have to restart your application.

What group members advised:
  1. You can raise a webform to submit the missing affidavit of support — this is a normal, accepted way to add documents you missed.

  2. Doing so does not tamper with your application's credibility. Adding a missing document later is treated as a correction, not a red flag.

  3. Be mindful that IRCC currently receives a high volume of webforms, so don't expect an instant response — patience is needed even though the fix itself is straightforward.


Takeaway: a missed affidavit of support is fixable through the standard webform process and shouldn't be seen as harming your application.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Do: Use a webform to submit a missed affidavit of support rather than worrying it can't be added.
  • Tip: Adding a missing document via webform does not hurt your application's credibility.
  • Don't: Don't expect a fast reply — IRCC is handling a high volume of webforms.
