Hey hopefully I can provide insight. This is the form for the Schedule A, background check, right? I included this in my original application and it validated just fine when I checked the box for "Ongoing for most recent address/work" and I printed it off, sent it with my application. NO BARCODE GENERATED. This just says "Validated" at the top of the form, in a box. When the CIC received my application in January they requested my 5669 electronically. I had to pull up the previously validated form, change the dates of course, and then I tried to re-validate. Didn't work. Only way I was able to validate it was to change the dates to the most recent format such as 01-2017 instead of "Ongoing".
I uploaded it like that because it was the only way It would validate...didn't hear back since my PR is in progress still. So you don't need to include this form with the application. It's electronically uploaded now with the new forms as of Jan 31. I would still complete it and include it but I bet they require you to upload it just like they did with me. At least if you complete it and send it you just have to update the dates and upload it manually later.
