What I want to know, is WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SEND? I think they are just asking for the CSQ, but then they mention all that other stuff like the FBI and paying the processing fee, which I already did....are those information revelant, or it's just automated garbage? Cause I just received the CSQ, and I can send it tomorrow, but the other stuff...if I have to request another FBI document it's gonna take weeks and weeks. and I already paid the humongous fee related to this and did sent a copy of the receipt. I just want to know what I should send exactly, I hope you ladies and gentlemen could help me tell what's what.

Do you mind adding your information to the Ottawa spreadsheet?
