What if some of the questions on the application form don’t apply to me?
You should fill in all spaces on immigration application forms. If a question does not apply, write “not applicable” or “N/A” in the space. That shows you have read and filled out the form fully.
If you are applying online and the form does not allow you to type “N/A,” leave the space blank.
