Text box expansion on Application form.

[irnbru16]

Hello All,

How did you guys managed to expand the text box on application? For eg on employment history sections. I can fill info in boxes but upon printing, its not displaying full info.

I am using Acrobat Reader. Is it something to do with that?

Thanks

Thanks

How did you tackled this?

If you click on the box "+" bit in order to display accurately & fully on-screen what you've typed-in, will it let you then 'screen-shot' print-out that page (i.e., to add/append to your Application) or not?

I really suggest you contact CIC with the issue. The form was changed on 19th Oct and is now broken

As an aside, the + is not for expanding the text box.
Checking the Acrobat preferences, the + is merely an indication that the field has overflowed. Go figure !!

You can probably ask if anybody has downloaded the second version on Oct 11 (the first one wasn't printable, and the second one was released a few hours later), which didn't have this problem. I think this problem came with the latest update.

Anyway, I start to think this is a conspiracy of IRCC to slow down the number of incoming applications... LOL

And my taxes are paying for this...

It mightn't be such a bad thing if Trump does nix NAFTA, as then all of the smart Canadians down there currently on TNs would have to come back up here & the dum-dum IT folk at CIC/IRCC could then be replaced by folks that can fix the damned form.

LoL....think about it.

You are in charge of creating this form....and you decide to leave few millimeters of space to write down address, contacts, information...
What was going through your head at that moment I wonder.

Let them take away the union jobs? no way, won't happen

Someone in the Minister's office needs to make one phone call to kick somebody's arse down at CIC/IRCC, it seems.

Do I need to tick the cynicism box on the new Form in order to become a Canadian?
