Q: The document checklist tells us to indicate which files we are sending, but also states "if you do not enclose all the required forms and documents, your entire application will be returned to you". Are we right in assuming that if a particular form (i.e. IMM5476, "Use of a Representative"; or IMM5409, "Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union") does not apply in our case, it is not "required" and therefore should not be sent?
A: You should send the forms even if they don't apply, just so that they know you acknowledge those forms. If they don't apply, you should put a diagonal line through them and write “Not Applicable” on them. Another solution could be to write an appendix to the Document Checklist and explicitly state that you are not including those forms because they are not applicable to your situation. Or you can do both.
