My friend had all her applications ( sponsor and applicant together) binded into 1 book and she has an index on the front page followed by the checklist. Has anyone done this before? I wonder if CIC will accept this?

I do not think that is a good idea because CIC wants everything loose. Its also mentioned in the immigration guide to not send marriage albums and that the pictures should be loose. I beleive they scan all the papers and maintain our files on a computer.

No bindings, no staples. Paper clips or bulldog clips.

Agreed. Bad idea since binding of any kind is specifically prohibited in the guide.

When you say no staples, do you mean all together, or even dont staple pg1 to pg2,3,4 etc? I have pictures printed out, and descriptions stapled to them, as well as all pages of each form |

No staples at all. So even in individual forms you are not to staple the pages together.

I sent three folders. One was my application for sponsorship.
One for my wife's PR application, and the third was supporting documents and photos.
All three folders were labeled. Pretty and neat, and simple. SIMPLE is best.

No. I stapled some of mine and they didn't return it. I'd like to know what they do with our applications. It seems to me that stapling the pages of each form together, or all types of evidence together, would help the VO keep track of the application, and yet they specifically say not to do this. At my interview the VO had our application spread out all over her desk - and she also threw it on the floor - it was in a huge mess and completely disorganized at the end of the interview. Surely if everything had been loose I do not see how she would have been able to reorganize it.

The VO that receives that book will not be happy  |

Crap! Didn't see that one coming, I used staples to put together the forms, because for me it looked more organized and logical. And some paper clips for the photos etc. Is it that bad???worried now..hummmm..  |

I didn't staple anything but I did label each form and document with (what I thought were) pretty sticky flags... now I'm worried too, maybe the VO will not like this either...

I am about to mail in my applications, sponsor and applicant of course. I am thinking puting all sponsor form and document in one envelope and applicant form and document on other envelope and then combining them all in one big envelope is that make sense. or is there a better way of donig this?

IndianOcean, Angus and Alem_alem,
Don't worry about your staples, paperclips, envelopes and stickies. All of these are common, I think, things a visa officer sees when opening a file. They can deal with it.
And it is small stuff compared to a bound book! I hope there was no accompanying DVD.
