Validating the form

Once the application form is completed, click on the “Validate” button located at the top or bottom of the form. Any missing information will be identified by a pop-up error message or a red square around the fields that need to be completed. If the form is completed, this will generate a barcode page at the end of the document—see image below.

For more information about the “Validate” button, visit the Help Centre.

You should fill out your forms on a computer and validate them electronically to reduce mistakes and help you submit forms that are complete. If you complete this application form on a computer and print it, you must place the barcode page on the top of your application (or if applying as a group, each individual application package).

After I click the Validate button on my application form, nothing happens and I don’t see the barcodes. Why?

How do I fill out and validate IRCC application forms with 2D barcodes?
