It should be fine but IRCC always states to send the latest forms available at the moment and since you have not sent your application yet, it would be better if you did. If its a huge hassle, the grace period should cut you some slack but better to not give them an opportunity to return the file whatsoever. Rather wait out sending a little longer than have your application returned later. Your Call.

Thanks, is there anything in written on CIC website that confirms this ?
The new forms have no grace period notices but we know it because of past trends on when the application kit was updated. For instance, look at the link below. You’ll see that when the application was updated on Feb 14 2018, they gave a grace period for the previous versions until March 15 2018 (Written at the end).

So if no grace period is given.. should i get them to print and sign new forms ?
Even if not mentioned, IRCC does accept old forms within 1 month of change of forms. You’ll be fine if it falls within the 1 month period, but like I suggested to the last guy asking, its always good to send the latest available forms to IRCC especially if there have been major updates to the forms.
