Reason number 8000 to never do a paper application. Honestly CBSA needs to get rid of that option. Yes, there will be approximately 4 older persons who have no internet access or friend or family member who can help them with an online application, but the cost savings on not having to manually process paper applications would be worth it. I imagine they might be getting more such applications as people play the exchange rate difference of approximately $12. Kids are already free though, so any real benefit is neglible.
