You can use a blank piece of paper. Just put your indentifying information at the top of it (client ID, name, date of birth) and the question # you are continuing. Put it in the application right after the page you are adding to.

You leave it blank or put "N/A" if you were not working or studying.

Put as much of the address as you remember and let them know you can't remember the complete address.

You have to put down ALL addresses. If you can only remember part of the address, put down that part. If it was in Canada, you can use Canada Post's search tool to either find the postal code or other parts of the address
http://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/apps/fpc/personal/findByCity?execution=e1s1


Also, I'm SINGLE with no kids, do i need to fill out the •Additional Dependants/Declaration [IMM 0008DEP] form ????

No. As stated in the document checklist,
"Completed by the principal applicant, if you have more than five (5) family members."


Also, what do they meant by FAMILY MEMBERS filling out on the form ?? Does it involve my parents and my brothers ???

On which form? In general, unless otherwise requested, "Family" refers only to spouse and children.

The one exception - Parents and siblings are specifically requested on "Additional Family Information (IMM 5406)" (assuming your siblings are not your dependents).

Hey Jess, thank you so much for your help..

1) As for the address, i stayed at someone's home or stay at my friends apartment (the friend have left Canada for good) for 1-3 years and i don't remember a SINGLE address or street number or street name. What should i do ????????? I'm afraid that CIC will check it...



2) So i'm NOT NOT NOT going to fill out the - Additional Dependants/Declaration [IMM 0008DEP] form

3) On the GENERIC application form IMM 0008, they ask me to either ADD or REMOVE the dependants, therefore, i remove ALL the dependants COZ i have no spouse or children... RIGHT ??????

THANKS JESSS,,, YOU ARE THE BEST.................

Yes, CIC will check it and your inability to provide the information could be a problem. Sorry, you need to try harder, contact your friends, google yourself online ... I can find the site (and address) of my first childhood home on Google Earth (now bulldozed). I can find many of my old addresses on whitepages.com (or www.whitepages.ca. Go to a library and ask an information specialist to help you. There will be records of your addresses somewhere, and CIC will find them if you don't...

I had to come up with 25 addresses covering 30 years (since I was 18) and I did. The "I can't remember' excuse will only get you so far.


2) So i'm NOT NOT NOT going to fill out the - Additional Dependants/Declaration [IMM 0008DEP] form

3) On the GENERIC application form IMM 0008, they ask me to either ADD or REMOVE the dependants, therefore, i remove ALL the dependants COZ i have no spouse or children... RIGHT ??????

Sounds right, I did not fill out this new form, but it sounds right.

It can be 2 pages, but I think it's good to keep it to one page if possible - you can say what needs to be said in one page. Your boss does not have to introduce himself, although it might be good to state what his work relationship is to you - just a single sentence stating I am "rpun's immediate supervisor" or "I am the manager of the unit in which rpun works". Remember, he should attach a business card to the letter as well.
