For Medical Exams

• proof that a medical appointment is scheduled, including the name of the panel physician and the date and time of the appointment; or
• a letter of explanation of best efforts.

For police certificate

If you cannot get a police certificate before applying due to COVID-19 restrictions

Due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, you may have difficulties acquiring the necessary police certificates. In those cases, IRCC may accept both of the following:

• proof of having requested a police certificate for some countries, and
• an explanation of best efforts (not a guarantee of acceptance)

In this explanation, you should explain the delay in acquiring the police certificate.

In these cases you will be required to upload a document into the police certificate field showing:

• country-specific details
• proof that you requested a police certificate as soon as possible before applying, and
• your explanation of best efforts.

it's not the box next to it, it's literally next to the arrow, tiny space

There is no such discrepancy. Perhaps you are trying to click below the text.

It has to be filled by clicking on right side, just after the black arrow.
Good Luck

I'm still on the fence on this print, sign thing, guys! The Twitter account says No, but everywhere in the guide says to sign and date, otherwise, the application will be returned to you!

Everyone on Twitter is asking that and IRCC just replies no. Okay, I'm just gonna believe them on this.

My spouse is already a permanent resident. He gave his ielts a few years ago. Not valid anymore. Will I chose No when it says "have you taken a test from designated testing agency?' or should I say yes even if it more than 2 years ago. he is not part of my application but I have to mention him

From the guide:

• Do not use the “signature panel” button at the top of the application.
• Save the form on your computer in a place you’ll remember.
• Upload the form to the IMM0008 space in the dedicated intake portal.
• After you upload all your necessary forms and documents for your application, click the “Next” button that appeared below your uploaded documents.

But this is just for the 0008 form. For the other ones, the guide says to sign and date:

Read all of the statements in all sections carefully. Sign and date in the boxes provided. By signing, you certify that you fully understand the questions asked, and that the information you have provided is complete, truthful, and correct. If you do not sign and date, the application will be returned to you.

"You must also include your most recent pay stubs." says the guideline what if I don't have a pay stub since I just started this new job this week? Do I have to wait for my first pay stub?

 

[shubiz]

"You must also include your most recent pay stubs." says the guideline what if I don't have a pay stub since I just started this new job this week? Do I have to wait for my first pay stub?

I suggest, you simply write an explanation, giving reason for not including pay stub

 

[canwave]

"You must also include your most recent pay stubs." says the guideline what if I don't have a pay stub since I just started this new job this week? Do I have to wait for my first pay stub?

These types of questions don't have a yes/no answer. You could leave out the paystub but if the officer determines it is required then they may refuse. It's up to the officer.

"1. Proof of Entry and Status in Canada

When you apply, you will need to prove that you have valid status, and are living in Canada when you submit your application and when IRCC makes a final decision on your application.

To prove your status in Canada you must submit a copy of your most recent immigration document such as work permit, or study permit."

Do I only need the work permit? Since I renewed my passport, the current passport I do not have any stamp on it. Do we need the stamp to prove?
