I am curious about those who have submitted their FSW applications: Did you staple together individual pages of a form? Many of the required forms have multiple pages, and these could get mixed up. I hate to see my submission dropped on the floor at the CIO. So, did you staple them? Or do I use only paper clips?
Similarly some of the documents that we submit have multiple pages e.g. my bank statements. Do I staple these?
Note, I am not talking about stapling the entire 40+ pages of the application all in once. Just individual pieces of paper that should logically go together.

Thank you chonaemotera for confirmation. I read this too, hence I was hesitant. I was sure that stapling or binding the entire application was out of picture. I was wondering if I could do it only for individual documents. Hence my question.
I used paper clips when I sent my application... I don't think I will receive a letter of rejection that your application was rejected because you used paper clips
CIO will scan all ur docs .it will be difficult in case papers are stapled.better use paper clips if at all required or leave the papers lying straight in the envelope.
Ya avoid paper pins too
do not use paper clips of any sort, plastic or metal. The instructions were clear that the documents, wether entire application or individual forms were not to be stapled.
Just arrange the application forms and supporting documents in the order they are listed in the checklist, place in your envelope and submit.
Hi, you make it sound as if the people at CIC are careless and incompetent or do you have evidence that they routinely lose documents? The people selected to process FSW applicatonos are carefully selected, they are not stupid. The fact remains that a lot of people use their 'common sense' and stick to the instructions. And those who stick to instructions are very much likely to succeed. Cheers.
I have submitted my application today and left all documents unbound. If cic return it back asking me to staple it and send it again, will let you guys know!! Lool
