Urgent query!!
Hi, I sent my husband's Spousal Outland application on Oct 14, 2020 and it was received by Nova Scotia office on Oct 19, 2020. I read someone's post today and I have realized now that I have sent older version for forms IMM5406 (2018-09) and IMM5476 (2019-08). The latest version of these forms is of 2020-08 which I did not use because when I downloaded the forms on Sept 13, the 2020-08 version was not available on the website and I'm sure they updated these forms after Sept 13. I filled some information and sent all forms to my husband in Dubai via email for him to print & sign and courier them back to me. My husband signed the forms on Sept 24 and sent them on the Sept 27. Due to covid and less activity of flights, the courier took longer than expected to arrive in Canada and I received it around Oct 3. I (Sponsor) signed the forms and put everything together and sent the package via courier to the Sydney, Nova Scotia office on Oct 14. I have the following questions:
1. Will they return our application because of this?
2. The forms were not updated until Sept 13 when I downloaded, but now the latest ones I see have the date 2020-08 on them, is this possible, I'm very sure I had double-checked?
3. I have Principal Applicant's UCI number, do you think it will be wise to send the 2020-08 versions via web-form?
4. Is there any chance of our application falling under the grace period?
Your guidance is highly appreciated.

I also phoned re; similar thing they told me to use forms ONLY which comes with the kit. A kit where you download all.
I used the kit and downloaded all forms on September 13 and the forms IMM5406 and IMM5476 weren't updated. What did you end up doing in your case @singleman
Hello, hope everyone is hanging on during these difficult times.
Just had a quick question.
I sent out my application in late March 2020. I have not heard back from them yet. I know this is normal during this pandemic period. My question is in regards to the income evaluation of the sponsor - I am sponsoring my wife (outland).
I know there aren't any requirements of income as such, however, I did not include much detail in regards to how I would be supporting her. I did of course include the previous tax returns, etc.
Should I be worried?

All were accepted. Except I uploaded a few with postal addresses after getting XF00000 after you have XF file then if needed ask me how to?
Main diff while uploading you MUST click on "FILE BEING DEALT IN CANADA" OTHERWISE file goes to out of Canada
@singleman Thank you for the reply. I do have principal applicant's UCI. Should I upload the newer form versions via webform? The file was received on Oct 19, by when should I call to get XF number?
