Hello Everyone,
Another last stage quick question:

My parents sent me the signed files without validating and I was thinking I can use signed page from their file and rest of the pages I can print here but i have few concerns:
1. The page size they sent is different than regular, i believe they sent A4 ( 11.5 * 8.5) and we have paper size letter (11 * 8.5), so if I'm using one of the signed page from their file then it looks odd.
2. Since they printed the file without validating so forms like IMM 1344 is 7 pages for them and after validating its 8 pages so for me signed page header will say Page 7 of 8 and they signed page they sent me says Page 7 of 7 .

Please advise what should I do :

Option 1: use the signed page from them and print rest of the pages after validating even the signed page is of different size? and header says Page 7 of 7 ( I can use the whitener to change it to Page 7 of 8?)
Option 2: Go ahead with using the file sent by them even if it is not validated ?

Please help asap.

Thanks,

In response to one part of your question; my mother sent me her filled forms on A4 paper too (international standard size), whilst the forms I filled out here were on the North Amercian US letter size. After I noticed the discrepancy, all I did is - went to buy A4 paper from local office store. They sell them in Canada too. Then I printed all my forms on A4 paper as well, so all the forms would matchup. (You can easily adjust paper size in settings for printing on any computer before printing to fit on A4 paper).
It's much easier to get A4 paper here in Canada, imho, then it would be to get North American Standard sized paper- US letter in Europe or elsewhere in the world.

Hi everyone,
I have a question. How did you pay for the application?
My husband who is a cosigner payed it trough his account since he already had one ready from our previous application for citizenship and I attached the receipt to application package, but now I am worried that maybe we should open a new account for the applicant who is my mother.
Please share.
Thanks

Mine was delivered on 23 April and I can’t see the ecas update either.

Unfortunately There is no work around it!. I am not trying to make your life hard, but that form requires validation for sure. Without validation IRCC will send the whole application back. Your best bet is to email the form to your Parents, after that call them and guide them i.e. download, save, validate, save, print, sign.

Its not worth to put application in risk for one form, also if you email them the form today, they can print it after validation and courier it to you with a 5 day service. You will get the form by May 15 next week, after that you will have 10 days to submit the file. Use the Canada Post's next day delivery option called 'Priority'.

thanks gst,
I did the same , they sent me the new package, i'm hoping to receive it by Monday and then will mail it to Ottawa..

thanks for the help.

I wouldn't recommend sending the application without validating or using different singed page. Everytime you click on validate, a new unique number is generated on all pages of application. If you attach the signed page from them and rest of the pages from a different validation you'll have a mismatch.

thanks for the heads up, I asked for the new copy.

thanks for the feedback linsahoo and sharing your experience, this is what it makes this forum a wonderful place.

If you have paid the right amount then it doesn't matter who has paid from what account they just care if you ave attached the receipt of the desired amount.
