READY TO UPLOAD THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS?
Check that your electronic copies are clear and that every detail on the page can be seen. This will make the application process easier, but the opposite is true. This is due to the fact that you will be asked to resubmit the document, which will slow down your application and cause you to miss the application closing date.
