I am in the process of filling out my application forms. I was wondering if I need to type my answers or can be hand written when filling out the forms (the ones that are not PDF fillable).
Thanks
Thanks

I don't know the answer to your question but if you have Adobe Acrobat Professional you can fill the none PDF fillable ones too. I did this with my US forms, a few were not PDF fillable. Its great should you make a mistake or wish to keep an electronic copy.

I can't even pretend to know what we had on our computer - but I was able to fill in the forms, and then print them off straight away - and I could not save the data (so presume we only had the 'Reader' bit !). I happily admit it was a pain in the backside to do, and you have to triple check it before hitting the print button!
Personal viewpoint - but I would say a type-written application will be so much more 'presentable' to the officials - so anyway you can get round this, then go for it !
Good luck !

My recollection is that you can complete all the required documents on your PC/Mac as fillable .pdf files except for rhe Immigrant Summary form which you need to print and either hand write or complete on a typewriter if so desired.
That's what we did anyway.
