don't send the license verification part, I know somewhere there's a part that you will state the reason why you don't have a license. They can't do anything about it whatever reason you write.

There are many that didn't complete the verification of license because they had no license. You could always submit a letter of explanation with your application form

as we have said, you don't need to send the license verification form.

On the main application form, item number 12, its a question on whether you are licensed in any country, just check the box appropriate for you, and explain why you don't have a license. Simple. Don't send the license verification form. Again, a lot of applicants did that and they did not have any problems with CGFNS. They can't ask you for something that you can't provide. They will evaluate whatever documents you send them but the BON will make the decision about your eligibility.

no. you do not need to send an explanation letter with your actual application form. There's a space for you to write the explanation on the application form.

I suggest you read the CES handbook for your own guidance.
