When you pick up your participants package, you have to bring the originals of the documents you sent with your application. If you submit the application, you will be the primary applicant, and your spouse and any dependents you list on your application will be the secondary applicants. Since you are responsible for all secondary applicants listed on your application, you have to ensure they comply with the program's requirements. You have to comply with the Customs Act and regulations, the Immigration Act and regulations, and any other laws or regulations enforced by either department. If you violate these laws or regulations you can be severely penalized.
