picking box or leaving it blank

[Armenak]

Hi.

Schedule 3. Sections 7 and 9 have questions regarding language proficiency and work history of the spouse or common-law partner.
I am single. But there is not option to select NOT APPLICABLE. Only pick boxes YES, and NO.

Do you think it is better to leave these boxes blank?
Or maybe leave it blank and write by hand NOT APPLICABLE above them?
Or maybe better to pick NO (no wife, thus no language proficiency for wife...)?
:-X

For sure there are many single applicants. How did you deal with it?
Thank you in advance for support.

I am in the same situation. I am ticking "NO" and writing next to it in pen: "N/A"

Thank you for sharing. Hope we will get more replies from "single" applicants

I left it blank as there is no option for N/A and I didn't select NO because it will be like you have a spouse and you don't have Language proficiency certificate for spouse. Ticking NO might contradict information with other forms. Better leave it blank.

So one vote for blank boxes and one for picked+N/A written by hand.
Anybody else?
It would be helpful to hear from someone whose application was accepted.

I guess I will also leave it blank. But I will also write by hand "Not Applicable"...
