MARCH 2017 *OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANT*

[jeff198901]

If your uploading the Schedule A through the CIC account just electronically sign by typing the PA name in the signature box. If your sending the Schedule A through mail or IRCC webform you need to complete, validate, print, physically sign at the bottom signature box, scan and upload. Hope that helps.

Helps me !

Application process has been really frustrating so far.

We applied on March 8. Sponsor approval on March 28. But they never sent a Schedule A request even though their system thinks that they did. I got the documents ready ahead of time and waited patiently for the request, but after a few weeks I phoned them and submitted it through IRCC webform. That was 2 weeks ago and still nothing has happened. The agent on the phone said that it takes 3-4 weeks for them to open something from the IRCC webform.

So, for almost a month, our application has sat gathering dust, and it probably will for a few more weeks. A lot of lost income, as my wife can't work as a visitor (outland).

As a software developer, I'm especially frustrated by the needless incompetence of their MyCIC system. It can't display the outstanding request? And yet their phone operators are able to access this request in seconds? Why should I have to use this IRCC webform, where my dead-simple query is probably stuck in a queue behind a million other things?

And the uselessness of the phone operators is another story. Every time I call (which I have to take an hour out of my work day to do), I get someone different, who is nevertheless an exact clone of the same useless person who speaks perfect English and yet is incapable of listening. They've also all claimed that I'm the only one who ever had this issue with the missing requests...

Usually the first correspondence is for Schedule A and PCC. You can upload these documents through IRCC webform. If you get a CIC upload request later in which the reception of the documents is instant, you are lucky and you can upload it. Else, you need to eventually upload through IRCC webform after waiting for a considerable number of days.

HI,
actually I am outland applicant,
while uploading docs through web form should I select " did you submit a paper application outside of Canada ".
but I submitted to Mississauga Office, Living in India .

How long after submitting webform for tech issue should I expect request for schedule A?

Anyone know once you submit pcc and schedule A form through IRCC Webform. How long a response back and do they state in an email that they received the Documents?

This question has been addressed many times on this thread.
When you submit thru IRCC web form, you will get email acknowledging it immediately.
The email will let you know that it takes 10 business days.
CIC will not let you know that they received it. You have to call on the 10th day to know if they have it.

The agents will tell you two to three weeks, but that's just what they are to say just like they will tell you that it may take 30 days for your transferred file to visa office. But we know on a good day it doesn't take that long except sth happens with your file.

So again it takes 10 days for the documents u submit by web form to get from the tech department to processing office, but how quickly d officer in charge of ur file attaches it to ur file and moves to d next step depends on individual officer.
If you submit thru my cic, they will get it next day but it doesn't mean they will work on it immediately. It all depends on the officer in charge

I know these info because I called and asked agents.

I hope people will take time to read thru some of the pages because again we have shared experiences on this particular topic countless times.
