Hence my question: do I submit IMM forms that are not applicable to our case and write "NOT APPLICABLE" on them and submit them with my application? In some cases, they...

    Our question might be silly: Do not applicable forms have to be filled out with "N/A" in every question or simply printed,crossed and marked with Not Applicable in large at the top? Thanks
