Hi all,
Q. If I don’t know the complete DOB and just the year or month or date on any of the forms what should I put instead?
A. If i dont know the date, i made an estimate. Esp for grandparents born before 1930! --------
in that case should I write a letter of declaration to clarify the dates on that form
Q. Some forms require validation, can I leave blank and print and then put NA in handwriting?
If a form doesnt validate without that entry, or because of a dates error, then you MUST fix it. Forms that do no validate dont meet CIC standards for processing --------
that means that forms require validation must be completed and validated and then print and send to CIC, which means date/month/year left out cannot be handwritten after print out.
Q. Some forms require validation, can I print and put ‘unknown’ - where I don’t know and ‘NA’ where it does not apply to me/us.
If you have filled the form correctly, there should be no validation error. All spaces are pretty accurately controlled for validation given your criteria. ---------
some spaces like PO BOX, distrcit does not apply to me. Should I leave them blank or have to out NA.
Q. Do we need to submit entire PGP2018 application or any of the forms electronically, if we create a new CIC account?
Per instructions, this can only be mailed. Sadly ---------
as per form 5669 - it says --
