Few others reported making the same mistake. I know someone mailed another application with the correct forms.

Try calling IRCC and see what your options are.

So I called IRCC today.
First time the woman (she was very nice) told me that I have to wait for application to be returned and then sent again or I can prepare another application and sent it by the time I reviceive the one I sent first with old form CIC0002 (08-2017).

Second woman (she was nice as well ) told me that I should not send another application and that they will accept older form CIC0002 (08-2017) under new rule 3/5 and will not return my application for that.

I hope second woman is right :)
I decided to share in case someone is in same situation as me.

Is your form from October, or before?
You can tell this by looking at the bottom left hand corner of the form. It will say something like
  • CIT 0002 (08-2017) E
    or
  • CIT 0002 (10-2017) E
If it is 10-2017 then you are fine, you used the post C6 form
If it is something else, then you used the pre C6 form

If you didn't use the October form then I advise phoning IRCC and ask them. I see little point sending follow up letters to IRCC when they haven't started processing your application. You will have to send it to Nova Scotia, it will need to be opened and examined and (more than likely) sent to your processing centre where it will be processed. Remember this is still a heavily manual process. Probably a physical file of all your documents, this has to be found and the letter added. I should imagine it becomes a mess if they receive additional information before they have even started processing your application.

Phone IRCC over a couple of days, see if their responses are aligned, and then decide to act.
More haste, less speed, as the saying goes. Let the waters settle a bit before taking more hasty actions

Hello,
I have a problem. I submitted my application on October 11 2017, for some reason i assume my browser kept old version of application CIT0002. Then I look now at the form it looks different. Question what should I do? Should I mail new form or should I wait for my package to be returned, and then send updated form?
