I have a few questions I hope I can get help on.

1’I started my application on September 27th, but having broken my foot just last week, I am extremely restricted for a few weeks. So that means I can’t get my photos taken for a bit. On the R.O. page, I had already filled in my period of assessment as Sep 27th. (I thought I had to fill this in to proceed further.) It may be as late as November before I can get to the point of submitting the application Is there a way to change the dates On the assessment period? It’s greyed out and I can’t click on it.

2) Payment receipt print out. If we are submitting online, can we simply take a screen shot and submit that? Or do we actually have to print it out, scan and make a pdf of it?

3) Is the R.O. Page the last page of the application ? I ask because at the bottom it says “complete amd return to application” and it takes me back to the main page where it says status “in progress” and under actions it says “edit”. When I go back into the application, on the “immigration history” page, all those questions are no longer marked. I have gone back SEVERAL times and answered no to all of them, except #3.5 which I left blank as that doesn’t pertain to me as I’ve never had a travel document other than my PR card. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

4) I have worked for the same employer for well over 5 years. Am I supposed to just give them a start date of exactly 5 years from date of application? Or is it ok to give them the true start date of employment, which goes back several years?

I believe that the payment receipt would be in pdf format when you received it from IRCC. Otherwise, when you try print, doesn't your computer have an option to save it as a pdf file instead (so that you don't need to print it out, scan and make a pdf) or you don't have the software converting the screenshot to a pdf file instead?
