Hi,

Did you have any problems uploading the IMM 5257? Did you upload the filled out form as it is, not a scanned and signed copy?

Lastly, when you uploaded the said form, can you view the form properly or not? Your answer will be greatly appreciated. I am having trouble uploading the said form.

Thanks.
Hi! At first, I had trouble figuring out why I couldn't see IMM 5257, since when I check it from my files, it says that my Adobe software is not up to date, hence I cannot view it. But when I opened the file, it goes straight to my Adobe Acrobat Pro so I was able to fill out the form, as is. Not a scanned/signed copy. When you're done with the whole application process, you'll provide an electronic signature anyway :)

It's the same when I uploaded the form. I was able to view it properly through my Adobe Acrobat.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.

I was able to download and fill out the form and validate it.

However, when I started uploading it, the viewer says: Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, you pdf viewer might not be able to display this type of document.

And then, after uploading, it says the document was uploaded successfully.

Do you think the visa officer will be able to view it properly? I can view it properly.

Never mind. I just called CIC and she said, since I applied for restoration of my status, the regular visitor visa processing time does not apply to me. This can take up months, she said. :-X
