Works perfect for me. Try rebooting and using a different web explorer (or even better a different computer).

I'm using Internet Explorer 11.

Seems it was a temporary problem. Its working now.

Another query, if we filling Online application for myself and wife, Is there any document for which I need to take print for SIGNATURE, scan and upload or all the signature columns for myself and wife can be left blank and digital sign works.

Thanks for reply..

CIC website is clear on this: "Do not print out your application form to sign it."
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=740&t=23

Therefore THE ONLY DOCUMENT THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO SIGN is IMM5257E. All other documents have to be printed-signed-uploaded.


One the sidenote: people in here have said that they don't sign any and they have no problems. I never advise to do this as I like to stick to CICs instructions.... so we print-sign-upload all forms that have a signature panel unless specified otherwise.
