    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…
