Staple is fine for forms.

For photos use paper clip or without paper clips just put in a separate folder or envelop within your whole package.

Thanks

I don't get this. A year ago, everyone on here was screaming "NO STAPLES!" and now it's suddenly staples are fine? ::)

Try to avoid using staples. Use a paper clip instead. Works just as fine, but allows CIC to take the forms apart if need be.

For me, I used staples, didn't know there was any reason not to, and everything went fine.

I only used paper clips just to be on the safe side, but then when my application was returned to me (for a different reason) it had been stapled into sections by the CIC-M! So I wouldn't worry too much, it's unlikely to be a deal breaker... :)
