I got an email from London Office last month (12-June) and they required Police Certificate from Pakistan and UAE.

It took approx 17days to get my police certificate from Pakistan only.

I sent the Original Police Certificate to Islamabad Visa Office via Gerry's Dropbox and I replied to that email with attached copy of Police Certificate.

My question is: I sent the documents to Islamabad not London office. Is that OK? What happened next? What should I do now?

--------------------
Original Email:

We are writing with regards to your family-class application for permanent residence in Canada.

Please note that, as you may already be aware, this office has taken over responsibility for the processing of family-class applications from the Visa Office in Islamabad.

Please be advised that, in order for us to proceed with your application, we require the following items:
- Original, updated Police Certificates from Pakistan and UAE.

If any documents are not written in either English or French, please enclose a certified translation in addition to a photocopy of the original document. Please submit the requested documentation/information to us within 30 days. Please submit all the above documents to us at the same time, quoting your file number (shown in the subject line above) on all correspondence, including on the envelope.

Should you not respond within 30 days, your application will be assessed based on the information we have on file at that time, and may lead to a refusal of your application. Once the application is refused, you would be able to reapply, but you would be required to submit a new application and pay a new processing fee. The new application would be assessed according to the Canadian Immigration Act and Regulations in force at the time that the new application was received.

Sincerely,

I also sent an email with attached Copy of Police Certificate (attested with Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pakistan) to London Office.

I read in the same thread that she sent the required documents via email to London Office and it was accepted.

I am worried because I didn't know that I need to send the documents to London Office.

Hey don't worry ... inshaaAllah Islamabad will forward your police clearance certificate to London. They won't keep hold of it.

BTW when did you apply for sponsorship?

hey Salaam, Just to be sure I would suggest you to email the London visa office about your situation, they usually reply within a week. That way you will know exactly how to proceed and this will also prevent any delays that might occur, God forbid. InshALLAH everything will be fine.

Asalamalakyum!

Back when i got my eligibility letter in November 2013. They didn't directly send it to me. I saw the update when i was checking the progress online in January 2014. I called them 3 times at a toll free number and they kept saying wait a week. wait a week. waited about 3 weeks, when finally i sent a long email to cic the following day in my email inbox.

Similarly, i had no letter stating that my file was sent over to London. I emailed the London email address. Then they responded the following day.

My Question: Is this normal?? Does anyone else have to deal with this? How come i'm not getting any correspondence, They have the correct addresses, phone numbers, emails on file. Will i have to continue to email them regularly to see where my application is at? Or will they let me know on there own?

If an email address is provided in IMM0008, all correspondence is done by email (they don't send letters anymore). This is by CPC-Miss.

Order GCMS notes to see whether or not they have the correct email in the system, sometimes due to wrong entries or errors, email addresses end up being wrong and then applicants miss them. Some people here have experienced this here on the thread.

You can inquire via your local MP every 3-6 months for case status updates, as well as email them or request GCMS notes every 2-3 months to find out.

I tried to order GCMS notes but it was "Unavailable" last night. So i am going to try again in shaa Allah today! Also our local MP says they can't do anything because they have to be "fair" to all our applicants. That ship had sailed a long time ago! :p

Thanks for your help Canvis!! :)
