You must use the Google Chrome browser to fill in the application form, as this will minimize potential browser-specific errors. Use of the “back” button may not display your previous-page entries on some browsers. Other browsers may appear to work, but we will not see your application. So if you do not have Google Chrome on your computer, you should install it before starting to fill out the application. Click on Save (bottom of each page of the application form) often to ensure your work is saved.
