what is the meaning if they say if your need additional space for any of the question , printout an additional page containing the appropriate section, complete it and submit with your application.

So if I have enough space my for everything except my work history then do I have to still print a separate page and describe my work history and leave other stuff blank.

When there is no space left in the main form and you need to mention extra information in the form then take another blank page, mention the question number and the details, fill in the details and print it.

For example Work and Education History:

Write like the following:

20. WORK AND EDUCATIONAL HISTORY INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CANADA: (Continued....................)

20.WORK AND EDUCATIONAL HISTORY INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CANADA: Your work and educational history for past five (5) years or if you became a permanent resident less than (5) years ago, your work and/or educational history since becoming a permanent resident. If you have not worked or studied, provide your ohter activity history, including location. List ALL your activies in chronological order from the oldest to the most recent.


FROM TO Name of employer or name of educational institution City or town Province Country
(YYYY-MM-DD) (YYYY-MM-DD) attend (do not use abbreviations)

Hmmm, hard to tell. You haven't done what they've asked of you and CIC are particular about what you complete and send.

I'm sure that'll be fine. As long as you didn't staple/paperclip anything CIC will accept envelopes from the sender.

Yeah you're not supposed to use staples or paperclips, anything metallic basically, it tells you this in the guidance notes. You'll probably have your application returned.

People aren't supposed to use staples because IRCC needs to pull apart and scan every page; staples make that much more work. Paperclips are perfectly fine.

Many people have made the mistake of using staples. IRCC doesn't return apps for this reason.

I just sent my PR card renewal application last month and used the paper clips for my wife's and mine application packages.
It was not returned back to me and I got my PR cards last week.

So paperclips are ok...They have mentioned in their guide to not use staples in cpl places though.
