Hey guys, I have received an email last Tuesday asking me to send additional documents which I am trying to do and they keep emailing me with this:

Dear Sir/Madam,

How did you guys send the email for additional documents? It keeps rejecting on mme and I feel like they're wasting time when they kee on sending it back to me!>=(
I sent both pdf and doc files in response to the document request from CIC.

This might be stating the obvious but how what format of files are you sending them and how big are they?

Hi AnQ
We were expecting an interview as we have a number of red flags
We have been together less then 2 years - we married shortly after meeting - 6 months

We are both in our 40s though have were both married before. I have been divorced from my first husband for over 10 years. We didn't waste time since we both knew we wanted to be together.
:)

I am sure your file will go through smoothly

Hi canadianinlove,
I see.

We have less than 2 years relationship as well.but we have known each each other before since he is our neighbor back home.
We are both single with no kids. And he is 7 years younger than me...he is in early 40's.
we only have 1 full year of presenting the proof of relationship.

I hope so...praying all goes well God willing....

How did you guys send the email for additional documents? How did you guys compress it and how many files did you actually send? I sent only 2 and they keep saying it's still exceeding 5 MB? It keeps rejecting on me and I feel like they're wasting time when they keep on sending it back to me!>=(

5 mb is not very large at all if you could I'd say mail it in because other wise you're going to have to send dozens of emails and even possible have to break up some files you have to send into separate emails. I mean you need 1000 mbs to make 1 gig and you can only send them 5 at a time so if you have 1 gig of data that is 200 separate emails. Now if it is something small you just need to find a way to reduce the quality of a picture or the size of a document to send it in. That I could help with if you let me know how large each file is otherwise send them 5mbs at a time I guess or ask to mail it in.

I sent them through courier since I am not sure how long it would take for them to process the emails. On website it says average time is 20 days but I really wanted to speed up the process. I have sent them my pay stubs, T4, job letters, utility bills and bank statement as well as an explanation letter regarding the police clearance and medical exam.

Fingers crossed!

Which address did you send it to? I sent it to the address that they had on the email that they added on the email that I received?
