Hello All,

just a FYI.. i called up CIC again.. CELPIP G LS is very much accepted. infact they could not figure out why it was returned. and have asked me to send the docs again with cover letter asking them to call me with the valid reason. so sending my file again.

thanks. ;D

You are referring to the language requirement for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) not the one for the Canadian Citizenship

Oops...I got confused reading more and more.., mixed it up reading adrift to CEC I think... I am sorry...

However I still don't understand why is it returned saying "language evidence is not acceptable", if they accept CELPIP-General LS two-skill ?
Photocopy is what they asking for, not original. Any idea friends? I am sure it is not the copy/original issue unless the copy was not clear/legitimate copy. I send a copy too.. who is going to mail original documents, certificates etc. to CIC? If so I expect a return too..

Make sure to use the Document Checklist and include it with your application
Here are some reminders to avoid your application being returned to you :
You have included photocopies of additional documents (if applicable) such as: Language proof; Education Records; Biographical and renewal pages of passports and/or travel documents.

So it might be a human error! a bit relaxed if so...

Well, looks like people from August 20 are getting notices, but me from August 8 or 11 have not received anything yet.
Called up CIC and they said that they're opening applications from July 22 so far.

I am in the same boat. I am really hoping that they don't open the applications in strict order. I think I remember noticing the same thing in previous posts. I'm trying to think of no news as good news. Let's just stay positive. The applications have only just started to be opened so let's hope and pray for the best.


Sent: August 8
Delivered: August 11
Still waiting for update....

Not all..just a few of them. I don't think they are processing in order. What I can see good is at least they reach the top of the pile up now.
Don't worry..You will get some good news in few days too...

what will be important and interesting to follow is if EVERYONE who applied in August:

1) Gets ONLY an email confirmation; AND

2) if their email confirmation mentions that their application number BEGINS with letter C.

Well in my case, (I don't know if it was a factor or not. It's just a guess) I thought that since a lot of people will be sending through Courier, it will be best to send through regular mail (PO Box) because there will be less applications at this address. Again, I don't know if this played a role. But, what I'll say is that I was lucky.

Could somebody provide the email domain of the incoming messages? It will help those of us in the waiting line to ensure that the junk/spam protection is turned off. Last thing we need is to miss something out due to email filters.

My file number doesn't start from C. Just 7 numbers.

The email sensor in my case is question@cic.gc.ca.

I am not sure if this can help.

I think just waiting for another 1-2 weeks. Most people will get emails.

Well, I did same guess and send it on regular mail as always to P.O. Box too, but nothing so far. However mine is not single, three member family application.

CanadaPost with tracking, single application. August 6 received, no news

No reason to fret. If you haven't received a returned application by now, chances are that you will receive confirmation either this week or next week. It may already be in a queue to be viewed by an officer for processing.

Well that may or may not be a factor (Mine was a single application. I just finished my undergrad in April, so I did not really have many documents (i.e those related to work and so on). I believe if you sent it early to mid August, and haven't received a returned application, chances are that you'll get a confirmation this week or next. It's only a guess though. And hey Cheer up, we are applying after the passed bill so our processing time will be much faster.
