are experiencing technical difficulties with the application, please fill out the
Technical Support webform and let us help you find a solution.
Report Technical Issues
Let's Get Detail-Oriented
Each section will in turn contain multiple subsections that explain what to expect
in each phase of the process. You will also find step-by-step instructions for what
to do and how to do it. Take your time. Make sure that you fully understand the instructions
and remember to reach out to us if you need assistance.
Take Your Understanding to the Next Level - Glossary and Policy Index
In addition to the instructions and tips you’ll find throughout the guide, you’ll
also need to spend time familiarizing yourself with the items at the back of the publication.
There you will find an index of our policies, including an outline of your responsibilities
as an applicant and a glossary of terms to aid your understanding as you work through
the application.
