This is very sad, because Canada is otherwise quite a nice place to visit. Americans, Europeans and Australians won't need to fill in the PDF, but many other people (or spouses who are from other countries) will be stuck. I don't know if the immigration system can be fixed, but there is a bug report for showing a different message when people try to open such PDFs: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=623130 Would anybody from the bid team object if this information is added to the wiki page?
