Hi, everyone, I have a quick question and will greatly appreciate if anyone can cast a light.
I got my ITA in March, but I still need a PCC from an Asian country and my bank documents from US and I am currently in Europe. Given the travel restriction, it's unlikely I can get it done by the deadline. The IRCC said
"No application in progress will be closed or refused because of documents missing due to COVID-19. We’ll automatically give you 90 days to complete these steps. "

Do the extra 90 days add to the EE system directly for the ITA? Or should I submit my incomplete app by the original deadline (sometime around May) and submit the missing docs in the subsequent 90 days?

Any tips are greatly appreciated !!!

I am also in the same boat. got my ITA on 23rd March but I read that its not mandatory for us to get medical and PCC done and we can submit LOE. I am not sure if they are going to process with it or they are going to give another 90 days after submission.

From this link:

If a new application is missing supporting documentation (associated fees are required), the applicant should include an explanation with their application that they are affected by the service disruptions as a result of the novel coronavirus.

Also,
Applications found to be incomplete with no explanation provided, or for reasons unrelated to the disruption of services associated with impacts of the novel coronavirus, may be rejected as per section R10,
