The forms seem to be newer then when I last saw them. Can the electronic (PDF) forms be saved with your information in them to be printed at a later date? I seemed to have success saving one but I'd hate to lose a few hours work.

Thanks!

Hi,

Quoted from http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/notice-permanent.asp

Notice
New form for permanent resident applications

As of July 18, 2011, applicants for Permanent Residence are asked to complete the new Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008). This new form creates one universal application for all permanent residence categories.

The form features prompts and drop-down lists that will make completing the forms much easier for applicants and will help prevent errors that create unnecessary processing delays. Completing the form electronically and validating the form before printing will generate a unique bar code to allow for the efficient entry of data into CIC's case management system.

Older versions of the permanent resident application form will still be accepted, but only until March 31, 2012.


Cheers

Hi All,

I am new to the site. I've been lurking around checking out all the great info available on this site for some months now. I just found the new forms today. I have completed the old forms for family class sponsorship. I haven't submitted them yet (hoping to do the last week in August). Now would you recommend I fill out the new forms? or Submitt the old ones I have? Do you think the new forms can speed up the process a little? This whole process is starting to get a little stressful at this point . Shocked   Any feedback will be appreciated.

Good Luck to all!
