How to fill it out
We do not host CIT 0027, prefill it, or submit anything to IRCC on your behalf. The official IRCC page linked above is the source of the current version, and IRCC returns applications built on an outdated version, so download the form fresh every time you apply rather than reusing a copy saved months ago. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (browser PDF viewers often break IRCC forms), and if the form carries a 2D barcode, click Validate before you print or upload it.
We can explain what a form is and where it sits in a process. We cannot tell you what to write in it. Answers about your own situation belong with someone licensed to give them.
