Seeking help - I want to send a webform inquiry to IRCC, but on this page, I CANNOT find the Self-employed Application Type... (I remember I read the same question somewhere but I can't find it. T_T)

https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

I sent my application and want to make 100% sure they get it. Please help, thank you!!

On the drop-down menu, select "Permanent Residence (applied by mail)." But really, all you can do is wait for an email confirmation that they received your application. When did you send it and where?

Well, this is depressing. Hoping that the 5-year prediction doesn't come true. Saw a video on the changes about to take place in immigration in light of the recent election. Here, Mendicino says, "Ottawa's goal will be to reduce processing times that have been impacted by Covid-19 to less than 12 months."

Hope so.....

Thanks for replying. I mailed it to Sydney, NS in August. What will the email look like? Like what is its email address? Thanks!

The subject of the email is like this:

The email address is quite long: CPCS Client Notification / Notification du client CTSD (IRCC) ▪︎ IRCC.CPCSClientNotification-NotificationduclientCTSD.IRCC@cic.gc.ca

The body of the email is as follows:
