Hi,

Thanks for reading my post.

There was another posts 6/7 years old. So, not sure if it is still the same.

Are we allowed to staple the applications or should I use paper clips?

no staples are not allowed. You should use paper clips for the papers and rubber bands for keeping pictures together.

Staples and binders and large paperclips are not allowed

Guide 5525

"Regardless of who you are sponsoring:
  • Always check country specific requirements before submitting your application.
  • For some countries, originals of certain documents are required. In these cases, you must submit the original and not a copy. If you do not submit original documents when required, your application will be returned as incomplete.
  • Don’t use staples, binders, plastic sleeves, folders or albums to submit your application. Elastic bands for photos or paper clips are acceptable."
