Id like to thank you for the videos you make. Right before i was about to hire someone to be a representative i looked on youtube and watched your videos. And i realized that i made a lot of mistakes a representative would not have known as well as how easy and straight forward you have made the process. thank you!!!!

[@claudialepage7750]

Me too he save me the only I don’t know yet it’s if I can sign digitally for my mom

[@yussao]

@claudialepage7750 I applied last December and they don't accept digital signature. They asked me to send the document back hand signed. IMM5532. Once you finish, sign by hand or they will send it back to you. Hope that helps

[@coverversionoftheday9941]

You are a life saver. I can't thank you enough. At first I did not follow your instructions correctly. Instead of choosing 'print to file' I clicked on 'save as'. Of course that doesn't work. But I rewatched your video and realized my mistake.

Thank you so much, I was struggling for days finding solution.

[@yahiarasheed]

Thank you for the video, it helped me sign the form from my Mac! one thing I might add is that you can actually drag and drop the form you already filled into Firefox without having to enter the data again. So drag and drop the previously filled form, sign it then save it again to have a completely filled and signed form.

[@HitSubmitCanada]

Great tip!

[@TheVege89]

@Yahia Rasheed I did something similar, after signing on Firefox I only saved the PDF, but didn't print it as PDF, so the fields were still editable when I submitted to IRCC. Do you think they will accept it or return the application?

[@yahiarasheed]

@@TheVege89 I really don't have an answer to that question, but I don't see a reason why they would return the application if the form is filled out correctly and has all the signatures on it.

[@Radycarter]

Quick question about the Mozilla method: When I try to fill out certain dates, such as the section for employment history, it only allows for 6 characters (YYYY-MM), which means I can not add a dash or a slash, separating the year and the month. So my date looks something like 201801 instead of 2018-01. How do you recommend I fix this? Leave it as one number or do 2018/1 instead? I should note that this is only the case for employment history dates and address dates, the rest work fine. Thank you so much for all the help!

[@HitSubmitCanada]

While both approaches make sense, the second one with "/" looks better. as long as they understand what date you are trying to type, you should be ok. Since this form does not need validation, it wont cause a problem saving

[@oopz4554]

Were you able to got it fixed? I have months of 10th and 11 so no option of using “/“ or “-“

Hi I have been filling all my files from Vancouver for my husband by watching your videos. It’s been a great help. Right now I’m just still confused about digital signatures!! So we don’t need to actually sign by hand on paper or using digital pen?? Just typing is fine?! Is that right ??

[@harrystone2985]

for Firefox in mac people, you do not need to fill out the whole form again, just drag and drop then you digitally sign it.

[@ovnikca]

THANK YOU!

[@HardeepSingh-ih2sf]

Hi Suyash, very nice and helpful video. I was digitally signing the form the way you showed. I am able to sign it. But once I open the form again just to check it if the signatures are there, I found that the signatures are missing on the page 8 (for both the PA and sponsor). The other two signatures are present on earlier pages. Those two missing signatures are only showing when we are zooming in or out the document but not at 100% zoom ratio (default when pdf is opened). The only way i can fix is adding a digital signature (rather than typing in a text box) using the Adobe feature (Add a signature). This signature still includes first and last name but in a fancy font. Is it still valid?

[@gallian2030]

Hi Suyash, amazing content, super helpful and thank you for all your efforts. Question, in one of your previous videos you mentioned your first application got rejected because you didn't include a wet ink signature on the application to sponsor. Do you know if this is still a requirement and if this will be required for both 1344 application to sponsor and 5532 relationship information and sponsorship evaluation forms?

[@HitSubmitCanada]

requirements have changed since my rejection. best to go with the new updates(digital signature), which were shared in the video

[@jeric2622]

Hello! your video is very helpful.. May i ask what does DIGITAL Signature means? Is it just typing your complete name on the form or do i have to attached my scanned signature? Is it the same as E-Signature?

[@HitSubmitCanada]

just typing your name as per passport, not scanning

[@satya8958]

Thanks a lot friend. GBU.

[@QueenB2022]

Hello Suyash, thank you so much for your help🙏🏽 this is awesome and very helpful! So would it be okay if a sponsor type out the names of their spouse who they are sponsoring?

[@Willleapt]

i need help. I did print to PDF but it says the file cannot perform this task. I am stumped

[@QueenB2022]

Hello Suyash thank you for always helping us ✅ you deserve a medal 🏅 so as was looking at this form on Firefox I realized at the bottom of it there no numbers meaning when the forms were updated and I don’t think one can upload it without it. Could you double check for me please and let me know how to fix it. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@HitSubmitCanada]

Yes, fire-fox cuts out those dates but that should not be a problem. You can submit, don't need to fix those. IRCC knows what version it is even without the dates (when the form was updated). As long as the rest of the form is complete, digitally signed, you should be good. If you don't feel like it, your best option, to use a windows PC. That way you avoid the unnecessary stress

[@sarahgracemunoz9947]

I’m using a macbook, I followed your instructions on how to digital sign on Mac. As I am filling out the form, I had a problem with the dates for the Employment History and Address History. The dates format should be (YYYY-MM) but when I type the dates if I put “-“ it won’t let me type 2 numbers. It looks like this (YYYY-M), if I dont put “-“ it the numbers are continues (YYYYMM). Hope you can answer my question. Thank you!

yes thats a known issue with Firefox. YYYYMM should be ok until they optimize the form for firefox. it still conveys the right date, even without the dash, so you are good to use it

Hey Suyash Could you please advise about how to label my supporting documents properly, as the majority of my documents are translated into English.

How can I ensure the documents have been digitally signed correctly? My spouse is overseas and I’ve signed my name digitally, saved file, sent file, she opens puts her name and date then saves sending back to me. Seems like there should be more to it? How to verify it’s signed correctly with digital signatures? Thank you.

[@HitSubmitCanada]

Seems like you are on the right path already. Nothing more to it than you already pointed out. They dont verify at this stage. if they need to, they make a request down the line(very rare). just sign digitally like you mentioned(as per passport ***this is important ****), get the spouse to do it and upload(thats what the instructions say) and if you dont feel confident about this then check the instructions in the guide 5289 and may be talk to other people who have recently done this. As a last resort you can call IRCC and verify (you’ll be most likely disappointed in the level of their response to your query but still, you can try)

[@lukecranney1704]

@@HitSubmitCanada thank you for your reply. My spouse is Vietnamese and her names contains special characters not found in English to designate tone. This has been a bit confusing as some fields won’t allow them. Should she be signing her name as her passport with the special characters from Vietnamese language? Thanks again! I’ve already reached out to IRCC, but like you said…

[@HitSubmitCanada]

@@lukecranney1704 Since the special characters are not machine readable, they are likely to go by just the plain letters in her name. Also, I believe the form wont allow you to validate with special characters. So, better to not use special characters. As an added measure, for full disclosure, you can add a letter of explanation with her actual name(with pronunciation and all) and explaining to them what you did above in your comment But for the forms, just use plain letters. Do confirm this with someone as I am not 100% sure

[@lukecranney1704]

@@HitSubmitCanada thanks again. I’ve asked on Reddit. It’s a bit confusing overall when to use and when not do her native language. For instance IMM 5406 instructions say to enter all names in English and in your native language. My understanding then is that names must be entered twice all in the same field is there’s only one box for text on the form. To me this seems a bit confusing to Input names twice in one field for text.
