Application
How Can you fill out an immigration application?
There are two ways through which you can apply to Canada. You could submit a handwritten application or fill it online.
If you are applying on paper:
- Answer every question, even if it does not apply to you. Your application will be returned to you if you’ve missed a question
- If you do not have any answer for a question, and no instructions are given for it in the form or instruction guide, write “not applicable” or “N/A” in the space provided. Hence, showing you have read and filled out the form fully.
- If an answer to one of the questions does not fit in the space provided, write your full answer on a separate sheet of paper.
- Any additional information you want to give us, such as details of your case, write it on a separate sheet of paper.
If you are applying online:
- Don’t leave a question blank as may lead to rejection of your application
- If you do not have any answer for a question, and no instructions are given for it in the form or instruction guide, write “not applicable” or “N/A” in the space provided. Hence, showing you have read and filled out the form fully.
