Questions regarding extra pages

[blues]

Hi all, expect to get some quick answers from you guys. I am currently filling the papers to sponsor my husband to canada. I might have some other questions later which I might post here again but for now my questions are -


while explaining things in detail its mentioned to write them in a separate piece of paper. Since we are filling the papers with our own handwriting is it ok to have typed up detailed answers in those separate papers (extra)?

Also, since we have to add some chat logs, emails etc.. is it just ok to include a little bit or should i add a whole chunk? im not sure about this part. also we have had more contact through facebook so should i copy some of the messages from there too?

and finally what about the forms that i dont need? for example we dont have an authorized representative.. so what should i do with that form it either has a choice to hire a representative or to cancel a representative.. if we dont use a representative should i just write not applicable in it or not put it in at all?

thanks in advance to those with some answers!

when u return application theres a checklist, so if u dont use representative dont tick...extra pages- do write on top imm xxxx and answer to question

while completing forms never never leave blanks, better just to write n/a

i have not attached email chats because we were more on skype

i hope u get quick answers to all ur questions

and make a statement that covers any things u cant cover over the application

thanks a lot..

but what about typing the answers? is it ok to type them or do they have to be hand written?

It's fine to type them - we did and had no problems.

You can fill in the forms on the computer screen and print them after filling them in. That's what we are doing, so we won't have anything hand-written on ours. There is not requirement that it be handwritten.

You'd think they would prefer typed - must be easier to read, no?

-Yes you can type your answers..make sure you put your Full Name and date of birth on every piece of paper plus the question and which form it
pertains to ie Imm xxxx
-I would like to add DON'T write N/A..write Not Applicable...CIC doesn't like Abbreviations..and put a diagonal a line through the blank box if you leave it blank the form will be returned
-When filling out the forms make sure you print your answers do not use joined up handwriting..

Hi Hazel and Tim, where are you getting all this detailed info about forms and so on? I'd love to have a read.....

Its knowledge I have gained over taking 1 1/2 years to put my application together.. my application weighted almost 8lb and covered 5 years of our relationship that was broken down into 10 sections!

Page 14 of 23 is about completing your application (I filled mine out 4 times before I was good to mail it)
It states here about writing in block letters (printing not capitals) If you order your application through the mail this document comes with it..I just printed mine off the Internet...

Thanks very much! I did read that... and likewise, must have filled out most of the forms about that many times too.

Wow though, 8lb! Am feeling most inadequate

many thanks britcanada and everyone.. it does make more sense to type them up but we dont have the choice to have them typed up and printed (dont ask, printer problem and shit) however printing off the detailed papers would be much more clean..

Handwritten is fine, so long as they are clearly readable, but typed is also fine, as is a combination of both like you're doing.
