Submitting application

[Tawcan]

Hi,

We're very close to finishing all the application forms and submitting everything to the Mississauga office. A few questions though..

#1 Is it necessary to write both of our names on every piece of paper? For example proof of relationship, etc.
#2 The application forms are stapled together. Should we paper clip the other stuff (i.e. letters, pictures, phone bills, etc).
#3 Should we just send in everything lose or should we put them into a binder/folder?

Thanks!

I wrote both our names on our application. I just thought it would be organized that way and easier for the VO when they do their review.

I've read somewhere that you are not suppose to use staples, but others have and got away with it. I would just use paper clips to be on the safe side 

#3 Should we just send
in everything lose or should we put them into a binder/folder?

Thanks!

I followed the checklist and used folder for each of the section.. i.e. Separate folder for the sponsor, all supporting documents. another folder for the principal applicant, all supporting documents, etc... I also created an index.. just a list of what's in each folder.

Hope this helps..

Definitely don't bother using a binder. They will just take everything out when it is received at CIC and toss the binder.

Did you write both your names on every piece of paper and evidence?  Or just the application forms?
