Get every document IRCC ready, in your browser
IRCC Ready Docs is GetNorthPath's free DIY document toolkit: working tools, IMM form pages, program checklists, and country tips. Use it today so document prep stays accessible, while platform features handle the heavier AI for All workflow when you are ready.
IRCC Ready Docs is a free DIY toolkit at docs.getnorthpath.com. Compress PDFs under the common 4 MB upload cap, merge files, flatten IMM forms so they actually combine, crop visa photos, and check a package against IRCC file rules. It is a tool, not a paid feature tier.
There is no signup. Work happens in your browser, so files are not uploaded to a GetNorthPath server. Guides, checklists, and templates sit next to the tools so you can fix a rejected upload and keep moving.

What IRCC Ready Docs is
IRCC rejects files for size, format, and form problems that have nothing to do with your eligibility. IRCC Ready Docs is the document half of GetNorthPath: a free site that answers the upload question you are searching, then opens a tool that actually changes the file.
Three things sit on the same site, and each one points into a working tool:
What you can do on the docs site
Each tool is its own page on docs.getnorthpath.com. Open one when a portal rejects a file, or start from the homepage and pick the job you need.
Also on the site: JPG to PDF, split, rotate, sign, resize, page numbers, and image compress. Browse the full list on the docs homepage.
Guides, checklists, and templates
The docs site is not only converters. Each guide answers a search query (file size, formats, photos, merge failures) and links into the tool that fixes it. Checklists add file size targets for Express Entry, study permits, work permits, and more.
| Section | What you get |
|---|---|
| Guides | IRCC file size limit, accepted formats, compress for IRCC, visa photo rules, why IMM forms will not merge |
| IMM form pages | Notes on common IMM PDFs and how to flatten or combine them for upload |
| Checklists | Express Entry, study permit, work permit, visitor visa, sponsorship, citizenship, OINP |
| Templates | Letter of explanation, proof of funds cover sheet, program checklists, visa photo guide |
| Country tips | Document notes by country of application, linked back to the same tools |
Who this is for, concretely
If a portal just rejected your upload
Start with the error. Over 4 MB goes to compress. Several files when the field wants one goes to merge. An IMM form that will not combine goes to flatten. A photo that fails crop goes to the visa photo tool. The file checker is useful before you retry the portal.
If you are assembling a first package
Open a program checklist on the docs site, collect scans, then run size and format checks before you name files for IRCC. Templates cover letters and cover sheets so you are not starting from a blank page.
If you want the full GetNorthPath platform
IRCC Ready Docs is a free DIY toolkit for files. Platform features like AI scanning, form autofill, and the dashboard sit alongside when you are ready for the fuller AI for All workflow. Book a walkthrough to see how those features work, or join the waitlist for the ecosystem.
How to start on docs.getnorthpath.com
- Open the homepage. Go to docs.getnorthpath.com. No account is required.
- Pick the job, not the catalog. If IRCC named a size or format error, open that tool first. If you are still gathering, open a checklist.
- Fix files in the browser. Download the result to the same folder you use for the portal. Do not rename away IRCC's required file names unless the form says you may.
- Run the file checker when you have a set of finals, then upload in the portal.
- Book a walkthrough if you want to see how GetNorthPath features fit next to these free DIY tools.
