Common Mistakes & Tips

• Do not leave mandatory fields blank. The system will highlight missing information before you can submit.
• Use the exact format for dates (YYYY‑MM‑DD). Incorrect date formats cause processing delays.
• Double‑check spelling of names. Even a small typo can affect background checks.
• Provide a current e‑mail address. IRCC communicates decisions and requests via e‑mail.
