I’m from Canada, Vancouver specifically. I came over to the UK late 2020 to be with my now wife. Filled out my visa application mid-2020. The application had to be on A4. The “corporate partner” office that processes all the UK visa applications has to be sent printers and paper from the UK. As for myself I had to hire a small printing firm to print my application out on larger paper and cut it down to A4. The UKVI office, and the Canadian corporate partner who dealt with my application and biometrics…had the digital copy. I was still required to provide a hard copy on A4.
110v/240v isn’t really a huge issue…but I wish us Canadians would pull our finger out and go full metric, with the same ISO standard paper sizes as the rest of the rational world…
Okay, I’m all for roasting Americans on our standards and measurements, but what size paper do you use? I have no complaints about 8 1/2"x 11" paper, but I’m obviously used to it.
There is a benefit to ISO standard paper sizes: Their dimensions correspond to the golden ratio, so if you cut a sheet of A4 paper in half, the two resulting sheets of A5 are the same aspect ratio. This is NOT the case with eightnahaffbylevun letter paper.
Don’t pick on them. They only get 110v inches/pound power. They’ll write you an angry note on letter sized paper.
I’d be really mad at you right now, IF I COULD READ!
