hello.
Why would you upload documents if you received PPR? ideally these have to be delivered to the visa office along with your passport, but definitely you have to follow the instructions in your PPR letter...

Hi, I recently received my PPR and I'm getting ready to submit/ send all the required documents.

As I'm from the UK and visa is exempted by law.

Note: Visa exempt applicants using MyCIC are not required to submit a physical copy – please upload this information to your MyCIC account.

My question is as I'm from a visa exempt country and using MyCIC how do I upload the documents to MyCIC as I can't find this option anywhere?

Many thanks

Yes -PPR on 21st but having problems uploading documents as there is nowhere to on myCIC. How about you?

I won't have the problem because I am Indian and will need to submit all the documents at the Visa Application Centre. I am planning to do that by Thursday.

 

[abo0286]

Wow.! That's a long wait. Have you ordered for GCMS notes?

Yes I have. Expecting to receive them end of this month.

The info in the PPR letter directs you to upload the documents not send them, with visa exempt countries. But there is no capacity to do this. Other are having the same problem. This is what the letter states. Maybe your letter will be different???!!!

As mentioned by others visa exempt countries only need to mail their photos, but need to upload other documents online. The letter has details for all eventualities (e.g. visa exempt and not visa exempt) but it can be tricky to decode. They really should have an online system with options you select with it then telling you at the end exactly what to do for your circumstance.

My online application has not changed since IP2 so I cannot upload documents either. A user on another forum simply sent everything via mail, as per the instructions on the PPR email under Step 4.1 bullet 2 ('For citizens not using MyCIC and of a country that is exempt from obtaining a visa to Canada (as determined in STEP 2 of this letter'))

This means sending

• Two photos - make sure they're the right spec, they are significantly larger than UK passport photos. I'm not sure of the extent of detail needed on the back, I've read you need your name, DOB, UCI number, date of photo, photographer name and photographer address. not sure how that's all supposed to fit..
• A printout of the PPR letter with the table at the end filled in.
• A photocopy of your passport bio and official observations page (I did mine in colour, not sure if its necessary to do so).
• Not sure if an A4 return envelope (without a stamp) is needed or not. They cost little so I'm putting one in, if they dont use it, no worries.

Also include a cover letter with a contents and an explanation of why everything has been mailed (online portal has not updated and there is no upload functionality available). This should do it.

Your situation is identical to mine. Hit the 180 day mark today. Raised a CSE to London. They will respond in 28 working days according to their confirmation message. I should have my notes arriving next week though.
