Standard of your application

We can assess your application only if you submit a fully and correctly completed application form and enclose all the required documents. If you fail to do this, we will have to ask you to supplement your application. Our 62-business day consideration period will not start until we receive you complete application. This means that the time we need to consider your application greatly depends on the standard of your application and the attached documents.
