Paperclip! It says specifically not to staple the documents (perhaps if they need to copy or separate the documents). No, NO, STAPLES!

I have only stapled the application forms together. For example I stapled together imm5669 background / declaration form as it contains 4 pages. However I paper clipped original documents, supporting documents.

Ditto.

After hearing a few members' horror stories, of CIC losing part of their application, I'm thinking that using Krazy Glue wouldn't be a bad choice!

In fact I have stapled the application forms together but used black binder clips to hold the relevant documents together with appropriate forms. The heavy duty binder clips does a great job of holding all the documents together. Rather hard for the doxs to "slip" out with removing the clips themselves.
