    CIC asked me to send additional document via either email or mail and by mistake I sent wrong document.

    OK, that's interesting that it says submit only via one method. My request did not say that. If that's what they are asking for, best to follow the instructions. It may be good to call IRCC or raise a webform anyway though, just to confirm they have received what you have sent.

    CIC asked me to send additional document via either email or mail and by mistake I sent wrong document.

    OK, if that's what they requested, you should be ok. It doesn't hurt to mail the documents also. I would also submit webform just to be certain they get it.

    *** September 2020 - Outland Spousal (Family Class) Sponsorship ***

    How long is a normal lag between AOR and SA? Looks like most people get both on the same day, but still waiting about 2 weeks for SA since getting AOR...

    CIC asked me to send additional document via either email or mail and by mistake I sent wrong document.

    Did you send these via webform or email? I think you should be fine as long as you submitted your correction via webform, thought it may take a while to see any update.

    Which one is better? Extending visitor visa or grandparent sponsoring?

    As far as I know, there is no rule against submitting applications for both. The visitor extension is most important, but you should be able to apply for sponsorship at the same time as well.

    Sorry you had such a long wait! Hope it starts moving faster now - for you, and everyone else who has waited far too long.

    When should I receive confirmation that additional documents were received?

    Thanks. The document was multilingual and mostly translated, but I submitted a certified translation of the embassy stamp, etc. a few days later. Both were done via webform because I couldn't upload the documents directly in GCKey. I wonder if I should be concerned that I haven't received any...

    When should I receive confirmation that additional documents were received?

    Hello, About 3 weeks ago CIC asked me for an additional PCC and certified translation. I submitted the document 10 days ago and the translation 7 days ago via webform (Case specific enquiry - replacement of documents). I also had my medical done at the same time and sent the confirmation via...

    My application returned I’m frustrated and angry . Use of representative form not signed ?!?! It’s not mandatory I waited 7 months

    You should definitely complain and raise the issue with your MP. I've seen similar stories to yours covered in the Canadian media as well. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have changed things for you. But one would hope that continued bad publicity for IRCC about situations like this will...

    PCC Translation - electronic or hard copy?

    Now that I think about it, I guess another option is to request that the translator print the translation, sign and stamp it by hand, and then scan a copy of that and email it to me. Then, I can just upload that to the IRCC website. That's exactly what they'd be getting from me anyway. Am I...

    PCC Translation - electronic or hard copy?

    IRCC recently requested I send an updated police certificate from the Czech Republic with a certified translation. As I'm currently living in South Korea, I need to go to the consulate in Seoul to get the document, which is only in Czech. There are no Czech translators in Korea, so I need to...

    Outland applicants waiting since June-October (or earlier) for AOR should file complaints

    The more people do this, the better. Politicians often only act when they know enough people are paying attention and it might impact the vote. That's why I've been glad to see media stories about this recently. It makes the issue harder to ignore.

    Outland applicants waiting since June-October (or earlier) for AOR should file complaints

    Hope it works for you. You may know this, but webform and complaint are actually two different things. I had a webform languishing for over a month by the time I submitted my first complaint. After the complaint was submitted, I heard back on the webform the next day. If the following form...

    Outland applicants waiting since June-October (or earlier) for AOR should file complaints

    I never received a direct reply to my complaints, but things got done immediately after they were sent. I guess it could be a coincidence, but it seems unlikely. I sent both a webform and complaint in both cases.

    Outland applicants waiting since June-October (or earlier) for AOR should file complaints

    After submitting the first complaint form they responded in one day to a webform I sent a month prior. They just said "your application with be answered in the order it was received." I sent in a second complaint and second webform stating that I know for a fact that applications are not being...

    Can I schedule a medical exam before medical request?

    Need to trek 4 hours up to Seoul to get a document from a foreign embassy for my application. CIC requested this document along with my AOR. Even though it hasn't been requested yet, I'm wondering if I can schedule my medical for the same trip? Will the panel physician accept the...

    Is a request for additional information the same as AOR?

    Yes! I was worried about forms I thought I filled out wrong, whether they would accept certain documents, etc. Good to know that I haven't lost 5 months of time. Others are often not so lucky.
