Now I am seeing that I sent the older version of IMM 0008 (06-2014) form.
I double checked in Nov first week. By the time I received from my wife from India and sending it Dec 1 its already changed.
If they keep changing one form every month then it will take for ever to complete.
I believe you don't need to have file number to check your status online.
It can be checked using the Receipt Number (IMM 5401) from the drop down Identification Type.
For those whose package is delivered in early Nov, Can you please check if its see any status using the Receipt Number.
I am planning to submit, new form using the Receipt Number as my identification once there is an entry in the system.
Because I don't want to lose 2 months and then submit the new forms after they request which would delay the application further.
I am planning to meet my local MP to explain the situation and request them to accept both versions of the form during the transition.
