Form is correct but still won't validate

[Sukhraj_k]

My husband and I have finally finished filling out Schedule A - IMM 5669. Unfortunately, an error keeps popping up saying that the dates are incorrect and that there is a gap in the date. We've triple checked both our forms and there are no issues with the dates. We think there may actually be a problem with the column on the PDF... What can we do to validate the forms? Is it absolutely necessary for them to be validated? We've tried clearing the forms and re-writing, downloading new PDFs and filling them in again and we've played around with the dates and everything. Any ideas??

Hi, the schedule A is one of the forms that will not show any barcodes after you validate it. So don't worry about it. You are doing everything right.

Glad to hear we don't have to worry about bar codes! But it's still not validating. The box in the corner (Which says office use only) Still says "Validated No". What can we do about this?

I would suggest downloading a fresh new copy, fill it from scratch and see what happens. Hopefully this issue is fixed. If not, then we'll have to find out where the error lies.

we've already filled a new copy at least twice... Still didn't fix the issue. Do you think we could mail in a hard copy along with an explanation?

That would be a very good idea. Whichever ways you submit it, please do include an explanation letter.

Validate your forms
Some forms have a “Validate” button, specifically the

• IMM 1344 (Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship agreement and Undertaking)
• IMM 0008 (Generic Application form for Canada) and
• IMM 5669 (Schedule A).

You should fill out your forms on a computer and validate them electronically to make sure you’ve answered all questions. This reduces mistakes and helps you submit a form that is complete. When you click on the Validate button, any missing information will be identified by a pop-up error message or a red square around the fields that need to be completed.

After being validated, the IMM 1344 and IMM 0008 will create barcode pages (see image below). When you’re preparing your application, place these barcode pages right underneath your checklist.

Note: The IMM 5669 (Schedule A) form will not produce a barcode page when it’s validated.

IMPORTANT: If you have any problems viewing or validating your forms, please see these Help Centre questions:

I can’t open my form in PDF format

After clicking the validate button, nothing happens and I don’t see barcodes.

Note: The Help Centre information about viewing PDF documents applies to all PDF documents.

After you validate the forms to generate barcodes, print the form. Then, the applicable client must sign the form in ink. Unsigned forms will not be accepted.

Thanks for the information! I was told I need to add a checklist to the IMM 5669 when I mail it in. Would you know anything about that?

A checklist? Is it a new thing? I have never heard of it.
