Hello!

I've submitted my application for a student permit extension in May 12, and as I was talking with a friend who is also extending his study permit, he told me that I made serious mistakes while filling my IMM5707 (Family Information). I don't think they are big mistakes, but now I'm afraid that my application can be rejected because of it!

Here is what I did:

1) My father is deceased. I left the box "Will accompany you to Canada?" blank on his section. I thought I didn't need to check "No" because, well, he's dead. I thought I should leave that blank, just like I left the marital status and present occupation blank.

2) I left the SECTION B - CHILDREN all blank, because I don't have children. My friend says that I should've write N/A because that way the office will know I've read it. Since I left it blank, he said the officer will think that I forgot to read it. But I signed the date on Note 2, which says I have no children! Shouldn't that be enough?

3) Also, I couldn't sign IMM5707. I couldn't type on the space. So I left the signature space blank too. The electronic signature I made when I submitted my application covers for that, right?

Another mistake I may have made is: my mother is covering for my expenses, so for proof of funds I only attached a bank statement showing her fixed deposits. It's the same document I attached to my initial study permit application (that was approved on my first try). But I didn't show my Canadian bank account. Can this pose a problem?

Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
I've always left the children section blank except for the signature, and never had an issue - in fact that's all it asks you to do. I've also left the 'parent' line blank because I don't have a third parent, and that's been fine.

I can't comment on the other issues because all information has been applicable for the people I've filled in, and I have signed the form (although I can't figure out whether or not it was necessary).
