Doubts in Filling the forms

[flyingbird]

Hi All,
Currently I am busy with filling my Immigration forms, I have one doubt can any one give me genuine reply please.

My doubt is –  when I was filling the form I am getting some tables which I need to keep blank, my question is should I keep the all columns as blank or should I fill each and every where “N/A”.

Also another doubt is, out of 5 column table  only 3 columns are only applicable for me to fill, so what shall I do should I keep that area as blank or should I still put “N/A”.\

Thanks to all

Don't leave any question blank...if it does not apply to you indicate N/A. If not possible, print and write N/A by hand. If you leave any unanswered question, your application will be returned to you as incomplete. Mandie

I think he asked about a situation when, say, 3 rows out of 5 of a table are filled and remaining 2 are empty (there are few more similar situations in all forms), will that be considered as question not answered/applicable?

This is exactly what the form says, "If any section is not applicable to you, write “N/A” (“Not applicable”). If your application is incomplete it will be returned to you, and processing will not begin. Do not leave any blanks."

Now, when you fill 3 rows out of 5 of a table, will it be considered as section 'Not applicable'?

I am also in process of filling the form and looking carefully at first few words, If any section is not applicable to you, i put N/A only in sections which were completely empty(not applicable). If in any section i entered at least some information, i did not put N/A.

Is my approach correct? Please suggest...

I suggest you stil lput N/A for the last 2 rows for CIC to know there is no additional info. if single applicant, surely you don't want CIC to guess whether indeed you have for eg a spouse or common-law partner. from my own experience, on pg 2 of the application form, where u have to give details of family members, I only put N/A on each row for family names and left the rest blank...I panicked, but the N/A indicated  I had no info for that section, CC charged confirmed my applcation was complete. I don't think it takes anything away from you if u indicate N/A on the last 2 rows even when u filled the fiirst 3. Mandie

Thanks for your response, and yes it does not take away anything to mention it.
However, I would still like to know if the approach i mention in earlier post can be followed?

the most important thing is putting N/A at the beginning of the question which is not applicable to you,which by default indicates no further info. So yes for ur first question. But take a look at the Additional Family Information form. Say you are single and the only applicant. I think  you should  indicate N/A at the spouse row (even though u have given some info in this section).

Seroiusly, I think 'do not leave any blanks' indicates don't leave any question unanswered.

Actually its most safe not to put N/A in the Additional Family Info form. Reason being for every section (be it Spouse or children) not applicable, you need to sign a declaration which, above everything else, signifies whether you have one or not.

I think the main question here is how one interprets the 'Not Applicable' thing, whether it stands for a complete section not being applicable or for an empty column in a section.
