ACMRSP FAQ's
- What if I don’t want to do the review all at the same time? There is an option at the bottom of the form that says ‘Save for Later’. If you click that option you will finish your current session and you will receive an email (make sure you have completed the email field at the top of the form) with a link to continue. Using the link in the email is the most reliable way to return to your saved entries.
- How many people can work on the on-line form? Only one submission is required for a corps. One person should take responsibility of completing the on-line form. If corps wish to get input from various leaders it is suggested this be done through sharing the sample questions document (see list above), or through meeting together.
- Who can complete the on-line form? Any designated individual can complete the on-line form. The Corps Officer can email the link to the form to a designated person. Be sure not to have more than one person start a form for the same location.
- When should the on-line form be complete? The completion date for the online form is March 31, 2021. The SAMIS data entry deadline is February 28.
- Can I use my Smart Phone or Tablet? YES - yes you can!
- How do I submit to DHQ? Complete the submission in one session or use the 'Save for Later' feature to complete in more than one session. Once finalized and submitted, the designated DHQ representative will automatically receive an email copy of the submission and the additional forms you upload.
- How do I prepare? In order to finalize and submit on-line you will need the following documents ready to upload:
- a) the Corps Review report from SAMIS (includes the Location Information, Growth History Report and Corps Membership Collection Form, Statistics Detail Report),
- b) the completed Additions/Removals page and Women's Ministries Additions/Removals (available above), the Link2Feed report if applicable, Ontario Vehicle Inspection form,
