Channel ceiling
The help table lists 4 MB for the secure account and 5 MB for the IRCC Portal; study permits moved off the IRCC Portal in March 2025 onto the secure account. Some legacy accounts report limits as low as 2 MB.
How we handle it: UploadPrep enforces the 4 MB secure-account contract; a prepared file also passes any stricter legacy account.
Accepted format subset
IRCC accepts .jpg, .png, .doc, .tiff and .pdf on this account.
How we handle it: UploadPrep prepares PDF or JPEG.
