Thanks parth115. I've spent basically the entire day getting all of my residential address history dates for past ten years (about 10 changes) and travel history dates (about 20 travels). Think I've done a pretty good job on the dates.

One other question I had. My bank statement/POF letter has my first name and last name, but it does not include my middle name. But in the 'personal details' section of my application I'm obviously including my middle name since it is on my passport. Could this potentially be an issue? I believe there was a question 'have you ever gone by any other names' in the personal details section, should I say yes to that question and add my name without my middle name? If that makes sense...
I'm in the same situation. Think it should be fine

Thanks both. Well I've submitted the initial application and now have my document checklist. Have just booked my medical exam (in about 4 weeks time). Will probably organise PCCs tomorrow.

I had the same issue, I submitted my application yesterday and hope what I have done is ok.

I bank with Santander UK. I requested a reference letter around 2 weeks ago and once received it did not meet CIC requirements. After speaking with Santander they advised they cannot amend the standard letter. I asked them to confirm this in writing. I went to the branch and asked them to print and certify 6 month bank statements (as I understand CIC do not accept online statements).

In my application, I uploaded the certified bank statements, the reference letter, the letter confirming they cannot make changes to the reference letter, and a letter of explanation. Hopefully this is ok as there was nothing else I was able to obtain!

Thanks for ur quick reply. I am using Braclays. They send me monthly online statement rather then sending by post. Can I use that? Will it be enough for POF?

You should have it stamped/certified by the bank. Try going into a branch and asking them for printout of statements, or a letter of statement that is stamped and signed by bank employees. They should be able to do this for you.

Can you really not use an online statement from the bank? My bank in Australia, ING, don't have any branches, they're online only bank so I can't get them to stamp/certify/sign anything...

Yes you cannot use online statements. You can request signed statements maybe.

Is it okay to do? We need to for three it's expensive here. Thought of doing in Windsor Ontario. Crossing Michigan State
It should be. They will give a letter which you need to attach with your application. All medical exams are centralized
