Hi, I have almost completed the documentation process and about mail the application to Sydney. I saw in the document checklist "small items such as photo and ceritified cheques can be attached using paperclip, otherwise leave application unbound". Does it mean that we should not staple the papers together.. i mean the application form and Schedule A and Scheudle 8 have more than one page and it is okay to staple the pages together so that they are not lost?

No staples, paper clips, or bull dog clips.

I have a "helpful hints" document for CEC application that states, "Do not use binders, page protectors, report covers, or excessive paperclips to divide the documents. If the application contains numerous supporting documents, hold them together with a rubber band."

I printed it off the Buffalo website but I don't know how to get to the page again and the URL isn't working. Oh well, hope this helps.

I don't think your application will be returned just because of staples.

come on guys... seriously..... I seriously don't think this has any impact on application.

FYI- I used a paper clip to make different sets of my application. all the forms in one and all the supporting docs in the other just to make docs organized.

But I would say paper clips > staples.
