Hey guys, I kept receiving the following error message when attempting to upload the study permit form: "Error: We couldn't upload your file. Error Description: Make sure you are using the latest application form from our website.". I was sure I was using the latest version of the form because I downloaded it from the website that day so I knew that was not the issue.
After many, many failed attempts at uploading it (using different browsers, computers, PDF readers...), I finally
managed to upload it using the following:
- A PC (Mac did not work for me),
- the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader version downloaded
- using INTERNET EXPLORER - this is key. Internet Edge did not work (neither did Chrome, Safari, Firefox)
Using the above, you will be able to properly open the form on the browser (rather than using the "download link as..." as suggested on forums discussing errors with downloading the form in the first place), then you can fill it in there, validate, then save to the computer. It will save as a PDF but you will not be able to open it on the laptop itself - it will actually be an online PDF, which will open using the internet browser only, but that is ok! Upload this onto the site and it will work!
