Do you put N/A on the questions that don't apply?

Hello

Is it necessary to put N/A for questions that don't apply to me? Or should I just leave it blank?

I left mine blank.

I left mine blank.

Thanks. But people say even if it doesn't apply to you, you should write NONE or N/A otherwise they will return the application and say it is incomplete. So I am confused.

When my wife fill-up her form before she put n/a to questions that is not applicable yo her. Now shes sponsoring me so when i did my application I also put n/a..

If it doesn't apply, isn't it automatically considered N/A?

Makes sense.

Makes sense.

The guide says for several sections and questions on both immigrant and sponsor forms (IMM5406, IMM5540 and IMM5669) to put N/A instead of leaving blank. Writing N/A won't hurt the app, whereas leaving blank spots might, so better safe than sorry, just write N/A.

At least one forum member posted that their application was returned as a result of blanks. (Even though those questions were "N/A".

We also put followed the Guide and put N/A everywhere where necessary.

Yes, put N/A on each blank that is Not Applicable to you. Some blanks only accept number so I used a pen to write N/A in those.

I also write n/a for questions not applicable to me. So that the vo will not get confused if I didnt read the questions and forgot to answer it.

That was exactly what my misses and I did as well, with our application. I am sure ten people will come on now and tell me that was wrong, but little to late, the application has been gone for seven months now

What about the applications that you can fill out online because they need to be validated? Once you type in an answer to something some areas automatically get shaded in and it doesn't allow you to type anything.. Should I hand write n/a once I've printed them?

No, if the question is shaded, CIC can already see that it doesn't apply to you, so you don't need to write N/A in those.

Yeah even I wasn't retentive enough to N/A try grayed out boxes on those forms ;D
