Hi all,

Quick question regarding the application form IMM5710E:

At Question #7 Current Country Of Residence:

My Status is Worker and they ask me to specify from which date to which date.
I do not know whether if I need to type the issue and expiration dates of my current Work Permit (Oct 2013 - May 2014) or type the very first day I started working in Canada, which is when I got my first WP back in May of 2012.

I always get confused with those questions.

Thank you.

Hi,
I've entered the date when I've entered Canada first time as a worker and I've got my BOWP without any problem. ;) I suggest you the same.

No, did not provide that form. It's mentioned under 'optional documents' if I remember it right,
so it's not necessary to submit it.

Thanks Toby, once you got your BOWP, did you applied for TVR? Sorry I am asking you so many questions, I know we have almost the same requirements and you are a step in front of me. You are helping me a lot!!

No, I'm from a visa exempt country and I don't need a TRV. And don't worry about asking questions :) Ask away!

Check here if you need a visa or not:

Hi All,

Not sure if either of you experienced my situation but any guidance is appreciated.

I am filling out my BOWP application online. I have uploaded all documents as requested. However, I am not being able to go to the next step.
I am supposed to be paying for the application and submitting it, but I can't seem to find the option.

Can one of you please advise?

Thanks a lot

click on delete button for sections you didn't upload any, especially in Support document section. if there is still a blank section, the system basically waiting for more docs and doesn't let you go next step.

Hi,
I'm not sure how could you be lost there, normally it is very easy to follow.

You log in to your MyCIC account, upload your documents, then review the summary, and then you pay online and after you can submit it. If you can not continue, then something should me missing I guess....

Hi All,
Today morning I realized that I made a small mistake in "Schedule 1".I traveled last year and came back in Jan of this year. But in the Schedule 1 form, in the question for previous travel I filled in as 2013/12 to 2014/02.....but it should be 2013/12 to 2014/01. How can I change it now?? Whom should I approach?? Schedule 1 was not at all required, I filled it..... How can I fix it????
