Hi guys,

I will be submitting my application soon. I have a few questions:
It says on the website :
  • You will be asked to show us the original documents during the processing of your application.
What do they mean by "during the processing of your application" . Do I need to attach the scanned passport on the supporting documents section?

So I can't speak to the online application because we did the family/paper app. We were required to provide all pages of any passports that were valid during our eligibility period. So we provide ALL PAGES of the passports. I personally also took this to mean that they can request original documents as proof whenever they decide, so we anticipate being able to back up any document copies we included with the application, with originals if requested to show at some stage.

The eligibility end date is the day before the date you submit your application. Provide the eligibility end date from your physical presence calculator result.
Whatever date I enter is wrong and it gives me an red exclamation mark. Is this happening with anyone here?

Yup, that happened to me as well. I've seen numerous people with the same issue, it appears to have been happening since they updated to the most recent application form. I left it as is, and included a Letter of Explanation about the issue. It appears that so many people are having the issue that some are just sending as is without any further explanation. The decision is up to you whether you decide to include an LOE.

Thanks for your reply!
I was able to fix the DAY BEFORE error. My eligibility date was in future so it didn't let me enter that. any day until yesterday works!

I'm not running into this in online application. Calculator wants to use application date and gives previous date as eligible date and online application takes this previous eligible date just fine.

Hi folks - Good to meet everyone. Just submitted today 2 separate online applications for myself and my wife. Process was pretty smooth and did not hit any roadblocks. I guess we will all be monitoring this board pretty frequently.

Good luck to all.

Hello guys - I have sent my application but unfortunately i found out that I included the "document checklist for adults " instead the one for minors for my kid's application, besides I did not include a birth certificate for my him. So I know my family application is about to be returned to me. My question is: Can I send them the missing documents before they return my application (just to speed up the process?) this is for a Paper application.
Good luck to all

Not sure, people don't usually do that AFAIK. When your application is returned, you'll receive a document mention what incorrect documents were submitted and what documents were missing. You'll have to submit that letter along with the package you send again AFAIK.

May be someone who has got their application returned for this reason might be able to help you out!
