I put N/A for each question that doesn't apply to me. And any time there were multiple options under one question, I answered each one with N/A. Don't leave it blank.
Thanks for your fast answer, I'll do it too. For questions 3.B and C, it's normal to do this. But for the section 11, it will be strange, as I already put No for question 10. And more, we cann't not put N/A in the signature box. How do you think regarding this point ?

I just tried filling the signature box, and we actually are able to write in the signature box, so all can be filled with N/A. I only checked "no" and did not put N/A under those boxes — I forgot! Ugh :'( Was focusing on all of the other parts of the forms and overlooked this area.

From the form:

"Did you receive assistance in completing this form [] No [] Yes If yes, have the individual, firm or organization complete the following Section 11.

11. INDIVIDUAL, FIRM OR ORGANIZATION WHO ASSISTED IN THE COMPLETION OF THIS APPLICATION (The applicant does not complete this section)"

So I guess we shouldn't touch it. But for this specific question I prefer to abstain from answering, since I am actually having different feelings about it.

Wait for someone else, or call CIC. Sorry I can't help.

Thanks, I think I'll put no in question 10 and not touch anything in section 11. I became eligible to apply yesterday, so today, I printed the online calculator, it's 1 096 days, so just one day more than required 1 095 days. How many days you have for your application?

Nice, I became PR only two years ago. Have you seen my question about the Client ID in the payment receipt, should we put sth or leave it blank ? I know we have a Client ID number when we applied the PR, is't the same ? Thanks. Excuse me I have so many questions !

Your client ID is unique. I put mine, which shows on the PR Card. If you look at other documents (for me there's a visa extension), even before PR, we already had a client ID, which remained the same when we applied for and became PRs.

Hi MiriamT,

I want to know which post service you used, regular mail or courier ? Cause CIC gives us two different addresses for them. Thanks
