Do webforms really work? Or the IRCC just ignores them?

I did not get any reply to any of my webforms, but all showed up when I applied for GCMS notes.

One thing I have observed - the more webforms you raise the more delay it causes. So if one webform doesn't work, 2 won't either. Also, keep in mind that IRCC explicitly states that if your application (study, visitor or PR or whatever) hasn't crossed normal processing times, then you may not receive a reply of a webform, but it will for sure be updated silently in your profile sometime within 4 weeks.
Well then I'm doomed. I've sent two webforms (different objective) till now. I wonder how much delay will this cause.

No worries. Different issues different webforms no issues. I also sent two webforms last year when I was approved - one was for deferral other was for taking back the deferral, despite that I was approved. So relax. Your eligibility is reviewed by other factors not the webforms.

lol. The crown is yours.
Hi Guys, are webforms immediately attached to your profile?
I submitted my profile & got AOR on 28th August. Since, I have raised 6 webforms & got acknowledgment for all.
I raised 6 because I realised one by one about the errors & attachments. Below is the list:
1st webform: No attachment, only mentioned that I choose 'Yes' for Provincial Nominee Certificate but somehow the submission had 'No'
2nd webform: Attached a letter explaining the above. (Made a typo error in attached file: My profile no is E123456 & I used EE123456 instead')
3rd webform: Realised I had to attach IELTS & ECA (Made a typo error in attached file: My profile no is E123456 & I used EE123456 instead')
4th webform: Realised I should have attached the Provincial Nominee Certificate (Made a typo error in attached file: My profile no is E123456 & I used EE123456 instead')
5th & 6th webform: Gave a final consolidated file for all the above & no typos. (Raised two as I wasn't sure if I selected the right drop downs but I did)

Now, I hope the typo in the attachments are overlooked.
My submission was that ECA, IELTS & Provincial nomination was never asked to upload anywhere & the 'No' from 'Yes' was very absurd.

STUDY
I recently reapplied for a study permit but I accidentally messed up my given name and family name. On GCkey, it was looking something like “John Doe John Doe”. I instantly raised a webform stating my mistake and the next day it was fixed. Now, I’m not sure if it was the webform that did the trick or my data that they already have linked to my UCI but it got fixed so that’s a relief. Don’t be like me, boys. Double check your credentials.

I dont find anything new on my portal. I checked the document list and everything but there is nowhere new documents can be uploaded. I think they just expect a doctor to send them the results after sending the email request.
what did you do later? Did another medical ? when did you get ppr?

Greeting fellows,

My situation is as follows:

- I am an Outland Express Entry applicant and I received and accepted the ITA back in 2022.
- On July 6th, I received the "Request Letter/Ready-For-Visa" letter in my CIC mailbox. Then there is a section that says "If you are currently in Canada, you are not required to submit your passport and will be landed virtually. Please advise our office via webform within 5 days of receipt of this letter if you and/or any of your dependents are in Canada. Please include each person’s name/UCI and where they are currently staying/residing (in Canada or overseas)."
I replied via webform on the same date (July 6th) to update my current residential address in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
- Then I received the automated response via email saying the IRCC had confirmed the receipt of my inquiry.
- However, it took me a few calls with the IRCC agent to finally get my current contact information updated. It seemed like webform did not ever reach them.

- Then today, I called them again because my case is now supposedly processed as an In-land application (receiving the portal login credentials and all that..) and found out that IRCC has NEVER RECEIVED my reply on July 6th to the "Request Letter/Ready-For-Visa". So I submitted another webform today.

My questions are:
1) Do webform submissions really reach the IRCC officers?
2) What is the timeline that a webform reaches the IRCC and gets processed?
3) Does anyone have any other ways to contact officers (email, office telephone..) to confirm the IRCC receipt and potentially speed up the process?

Post to the Express Entry section of the forum. Any answers you get here won't be relevant to your case.
