Hi all,

CIC requested for additional documentation in form of a request letter asking for a copy of insurance.
The application is an online application and the request letter indicates to submit the requested document in this same manner the application was done. This is an online application and as per the instruction on the page, i should have the ability to upload the requested document but i do not see any such button to upload a requested application.

I have sent an email to the visa office processing the application (the request letter was signed by them) but i am not confident i will receive a response on time so i am looking for some suggestions or inputs from anyone with a similar experience

Thanks all

Click on view checklist and you should be able to see additional documents requested and there should be an upload button next to it.

I am in the same situation, I have been asked to upload additional documents, but every time I click on "View Checklist" to upload the requested documents, I get the error:

Did CIC request an additional document from you? +/-

**Due to technical difficulties, the "View Documents" button may not be available. We are working to resolve this issue. Thank you for your patience.

What should I do?
Does anyone know if Online applicants can submit supporting documents to CPC Vegreville?

PLZ HELP.....WAITING SINCE OCT 3RD!!!

I'm just wondering, how do you guys know which office requested additional documents? My wife received an email request for an additional letter called "permission from other parent" in order for my wife to take our daughter with her to visit Canada. I can't tell which office requested this letter as I'm keen to know which office is handling the online application to figure out the processing time!
Thx.

Hello twiggy, the letter head has the CIC logo in English and French only. Beneath I can see the request date, UCI and Application numbers. Then the letter contents.
The letter is Signed by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
I guess it was sent by the CIC office in Canada direct, isn't it?

Thx a lot twiggy

Ok i think i assumed you were having the same issue i had based on the subject.
in that case was there any instruction on how to submit it? i believe it came from CIC in canada which is similar to the passport request
and in the letter would be instruction on how to submit the document

good luck

In the letter they instructed us to submit the additional letter through the "View Checklist" link and that's how I uploaded the letter. Sometimes it takes a while to fully load the page where you can see the upload button for the requested document.

Thnx and good luck to you too.

Delhi office responded to my inquiry regarding the additional document i was unable to upload. i was asked to email it them which i have done.

it seems with the online portal if the request came from CIC in Ottawa, the option to upload exist but if otherwise, it has to be sent via VFS or email.

good luck to all !!!
