Do I have to write n/a for non applicable fields?

When filling out forms on PDF, if a section does not apply, the form automatically greys out the empty fields, making typing n/a impossible. Should I leave them blank, or should I write n/a with a pen after I print them out?

Also, forms like Common Law declaration, use of representative, those do not apply to me, should I print these forms anyway and write n/a for all?

1. one thing i know for sure, you don't have to print the forms that don't apply to you.

2. if the area greys out (after you checked a box) , you leave the field blank.
N/A usually applies to other fields, for example when they ask you for your alternate names (aliases).. if you changed your name after your marriage and your passport name is your married name, then your alternate name would be your original birth name . you would write N/A only if you didn't change your name after marrying for example..
maybe more experienced users have more accurate info about it though.

I had left all fields that didn't apply blank until an immigration counsellor told me to write "Not Applicable" in certain fields... I didn't write anything by hand. If the form greyd a field out I left it blank, but if it didn't, I typed "Not Applicable".
