When filling out an application form ALWAYS
-
Read the entire application before entering
data
-
Make a photocopy of the original form and use it
as a rough draft
-
Type out your final copy or print with
black ink
-
Use your personal student record
sheet to help you remember all your activities and achievements
-
Fill in every section (if something does not apply to you write N/A)
-
Be honest
-
Always put your name on top of every page (especially essays)
-
Include everything, even the smallest things (and make them sound important!)
-

Eat and/or drink while applying

 Pay special attention to
application deadlines. With the large number of applicants, organizations
will usually not bother processing applications after the deadline.
To ensure that your application is delivered on time, mail your application
at least three weeks in advance, if you are using regular 'first-class'
Canada Post. If you are using a courier service, mail it at least one
week early.
Good Luck! |
