Gender mistake in my visitor visa application

[Jaypa11]

Hi,

I have made a visitor visa application for my parents. I accidentally selected gender from my mother as Male and submitted the application. I have application number and UCI number which gets generated once payment is done.

I have sent numerous emails to Delhi Immigration office and it is still under process. This has been more than 30 days now and I still haven't got any reply. My finger print 30 day validity has also been expired as VAC asked me not to come for finger print appointment unless you get the Gender mistake sorted.

I have decided to withdraw the application and create a new application altogether. I will ask for refund from them as I have not heard back from Delhi immigration office beyond normal processing time.

Do you think there will be consequences for creating a new application? I am only worried about the UCI number which was created while creating the wrong application, because the new application asks do you have UCI number and I have decided to leave it blank.

Please let me know your thoughts.

1. Which city did you apply from?

2. As the 30 days submission for biometrics has passed, your application might get refused for 'Non-compliance with Section 41 of the IRPA'

3. You are unlikely to get a refund. You can try but don't expect the refund.

4. You can leave the UCI field blank for your new application. No issues

I have applied from Pune but my file is at New Delhi office.
I have proofs from the VAC they have asked me not to go for biometrics.
I need that refund as I have not done anything wrong and followed all the rules
Thanks

Your visa office is Bangalore and not New Delhi.... unless you have received communication from NDVO that your application is being processed by them. You must email the Bangalore visa office.

I have proofs from the VAC they have asked me not to go for biometrics.

There was a similar case of a TRV refusal for non-compliance just a couple of days ago on this forum.

IRCC refused that poster's mother because she could not give her biometrics. Her name in Biometrics Instruction Letter did not match the one in her passport.

I need that refund as I have not done anything wrong and followed all the rules

You can certainly ask for a refund. It's up to the visa office to refund the fees

I don't think so you need to worried about it, all you have to do is contact to your visa embassy they will solve this issue or they will give you a better suggestion...

I have emailed them for the refund with supporting documents. I will keep you posted.

Okay there was a similar scene in a case of Student Visa and this is how it was solved.

We booked the biometrics date without knowing the issue and a day prior to the appointment we noticed it where "male" was mentioned instead of "female", however we went ahead with the biometrics and they completed the procedure with the incorrect BIL letter(knowing that it was incorrect which means biometrics is possible with the same letter).
Simultaneously we uploaded the new form through IRCC Web Form and dropped a mail to the immigration center(Delhi) and it was accepted within 2 weeks and the visa was also approved 4-5 days after the form was accepted.

Hope this helps!

what form you uploaded visa application form IMM5257 and where you uploaded, please reply

 

[USheikh]

what form you uploaded visa application form IMM5257 and where you uploaded, please reply

There is a form called IRCC Webform on the IRCC site.The link is attached below:
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

Here you choose the option of replacement and amendments of documents and fill in the details, after you submit it there will be an option to attach documents where you upload the form which you want to change. ( In this case you upload the main form with proper gender and validation)
After you do this you can expect a reply from them within 2 weeks. Also mail the immigration of your region for a safer side but it is not mandatory as they reply to the webform.
