Hello I finished from filling the form IMM5257E and validate it successfully. Now I attempt to add a signature to it using acrobat reader I press sign option but it tell me the following message: the security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing signature on it from Adobe Reader?
I hope to send the form online so I do not know how to add electronic signature what I can do somebody assist me please?

Leave it as is.

When you submit the whole application it there is a step to sign it after your fees are paid.

Thanks for the replay. What about date do I need to leave it blank too?

kbaker
If you can't fill it in, then leave it blank.

That form is important, so don't do anything to it that isn't obvious you can do.

As stated previously, if it can be filled then fill it, if not then do not.
