Great! I appreciate everyone sharing their information. I hope this is being helpful. Please spread the word about this thread in all relevant 2017 INLAND discussions so we can capture greater pool of applicants to gauge processing trends. Thoughts?

Hi! By the time you sent to CIC do you remember if the check list form was already updated? (Oct-2017)
I downloaded the checklist from cic which I assumed that is the lastest, right? Are there new changes?
You kind of make me scared that I miss something...


Anyway, I have double checked on cic website and I confirmed the one I sent are exactly the same as the one on cic website
