Dear inland applicants, I got some confusion about the new applicantion forms (used after July 18th) and the old ones)
1. On the CIC website, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2011/ob326.asp, it says "Previous versions of PR applications forms will continue to be accepted by CIC until March 31, 2012." However on the inland application form page, it only says applicants are asked to fill in the new form, and doesn't mention whether the old ones are still accepted ( on the federeal skilled worker page, it says the old forms are still valid till March 31, 2011 explicitly), anyone knows whether I still can use the old form till March 31, 2012?
2. At the end of the new IMM0008, it asks for consent from applicant for sharing information related to education and work experience with prospective employer, what does it mean exactly? Does it mean CIC will put the information in a database which prospective employers can search through for eligible workers? Or does it mean after the applicant gets PR and starts looking for a job, the employer can use the information to do background check?
3. Did you choose "yes" or "no"?
4. Since I am thinking to setup my own business, can I choose "no"? Will a "no" answer cause CIC to suspect the truthfulness of the information provided and result a background check (and definitely result a longer wait)?
