Hello,
CIC says "Complete all sections. If a section does not apply to you, write “Not Applicable” or “NA”. I don't see any exceptions, that is why I got confused.
Though, I have another issue with this form, namely, I cannot write my name in it the way it stands in my passport (so, in the way CIC wants it), because this form doesn't accept special characters. So, I'm gonna write my name English-style (without special characters) in order to be able to get the barcode. I guess I should do it that way, right? Even if it won't be the exact way it stands in my official documents.
I just want to be as accurate as possible, but these issues in the forms just don't let me do so. They ask you something but don't let you do the right thing. You know, I'm in finance, I can only think one way and that's the "exact-way".
I got confused with these "blank" things because I've read somewhere in the forum, that somebody's application got refused due to blank cells. I don't want to be refused due to such a stupid thing.
