I was hoping to wait until an official statement has been released by the CIC on the new forms. I still think they are in process of updating them.
A

Thanks Kashka for the update. I guess we will have to wait and watch when these get updated. as of now no updates seem to be available. don't want to fill in and send the old applications only to realise that new forms get released.

NO? where it says we can use this new forms or checklist? or it is understood as there are changes in few forms? and there are not going to be anymore changes? please update
 
Cic is still working on some updates... probably Monday/Tuesday they are going to update with timeline on website
 
How have all the forms not been updated when it's alr moving to a new week? They are really playing with us applicants. :'(. No official announcement and forms are randomly updated? So unprofessional.

What is your date on your downloaded form? My form at the moment is 12-2012, is it already changed?
 
Afaik forms with no visible changes in dates or updates as of this moment are
Additional Family Information [IMM 5406] dated 04-2008
Supplementary Information - Your travels [IMM 5562] dated 05-2004
not sure how important they are or if at all they are going to be updated.

Also the people who have sent their applications a few hours after may 4th update without new dates... does it mean their forms are going to be rejected? The forms seem to be getting updated in a random fashion. I had filled the forms 6 hours after announcement only to find out today that a form had been updated much latter, makes me glad i didn't submit it in a hurry...

thoughts?
 

I don't see any new update for the payment form (as it is already 03/2013 the last time I checked - before they announced on 04/05)? Are you seeing the same thing?
