Hello Everyone,
I know this is a silly question, but when i was filling out form IMM-0008 for the generic application for Canada, there is a section where I am asked for a national identity document. I plan to use my driver's license for this section.
The issue I am facing here - My National Identity document number has special characters such as "-" & "/" which the PDF is not allowing to be typed into the alloted field. So I cannot validate the form until I have the national identity document number in the 'correct' format.
My proposed solution - I thought I should declare in the type that I do not have a national identity document. Once I enter "No" in that field, I can validate and print form IMM-0008. Then after I print it, I can overwrite manually my national identity document number with a black pen.
My source of worry - Would this be an issue as I would do a small amount of manual overwrite on the form? It is a really small typo and I don't think it should be an issue but I just want to confirm with a few people.
Of course I would be enclosing a photocopy of the national identity document so technically I am correct to write the document number in the right format. FYI - The identity is my driver's license.
Thanks in advance!
