All documents are done, application is done. Binding allowed to send docs CIC?

[dana2]

Hey folks,

One extra question, so I have all the documents gathered, translated and certified. I have all the application formed filled up and properly signed.

This is a lot of paper. I cannot just put everything together and send it, unless somehow I bind the stuff (perhaps add an index at the beginning)?

Is binding allowed? Am I allowed, say to use a plastic comb binding machine, punch holes in all the docs, and then use a nice comb to bind all the papers together?

I am not sure why this wouldn't be allowed, but I am just asking, to make sure I do not do stuff which is not allowed.

No, definitely do not do that. Everything sent to them has to be scanned, so there would be no way you would want to bind them. Just use paper clips or binder clips and you will be fine. They will end up tearing through it and organizing it the way they want, anyways.

if I were in your position, I would not bind using Plastic Comb,

I would use Hole punch on the top left hand corner and use a tag.

I think they are going to scan all the documents and please them in a electronic folder, and save your hard copy in the records room

so plastic comb is not a good option

There are a lot of varied opinions on this board: the best way to do this or that, the likely response to this or that from CIC, what's legal and what isn't, how long something is going to take, etc.

But one thing we all agree on is a Great Truth that has been that handed down from generation to generation, told and re-told in story after story to children and adults alike, maintained as a cherished mythology, like a sacred chalice held high to the heavens.

And the Great Truth is this: CIC hates staples.

I separated my documents and applications in various categories as I saw fit. Bunched them together for each category and inserted them in plastic sleeves. Then put cheap tape to close them off so the loose papers don't fall off easy and at the same time the officer doesn't have a hard time getting stuff out of the sleeves. No staples, no clips, no binding. Oh, and I put sticker labels on each sleeves. Did forget to do a summary of content of sort...

I will pass on what I saw when my package was returned to me for incorrect fee's. All of that fancy organizing, tables etc we're stripped away. It was all placed in one big pile in the order they (cic) have determined fits their process. Place it in three envelopes, inside of a bigger envelope. Each labeled sponsor, applicant, proof of relationship. Nice and tidy. All the rest is just make work for cic.
