Once you have created you Case Order ID and paid your application fee, you should gather the required documentation to either the Danish Immigration Service or the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI). Make sure to hand in the case order ID along with the required documentation and your biometrics.

Please note: Your original passport must be submitted to VFS Global and will be sent to the Royal Danish Embassy in Ottawa for verification purposes. The passport will be returned to you usually within a week.
