After you enter all relevant information, it will ask you if you want to upload a document. You can then you can upload the PCC as a pdf file. Make sure to include the letter they sent you requesting the PCC.

Hi,

Yesterday my wife received request to perform medical test and to submit Police Certificate from her native country within 30 days.
We are June 2016 applicants. Any one with similar situation?

Sunset, many were asked to do medical and submit PCC. Send them as soon as you can.

Which papers should I submit to update my OWP?
Can I submit an online application instead of paper one?
Thanks in advance.

Yes Alam, you can sign into your GCKey and submit your work permit application online since you have had one before.

Hello applicants!

I'm a Dec 2016 applicant. Like a previous poster, CIC asked me to submit my passport for the OWP application (even though I had submitted it in the original application, I don't know what's that about!) The same day, I uploaded a copy of my passport using the Case Specific Enquiry system, as requested.

Question for those who have had this happen: Are we supposed to receive confirmation that it has been received, or just assume that they have received it and will continue to process the application? Other than the automated response from the system, I haven't heard anything in over a week. Probably nothing to freak out about but I'd like to make sure...

Express, some report receiving an acknowledgement. If I would wait 10-14 days days to see if you receive an acknowledgement and if not, I would call in to see if the IRCC agent can see if the file was received. Another option is to also request your GCMS notes just to confirm.

Thanks for all the information everyone has contributed here. I would like to share some updates on our application.

We are Jan 2016 applicant. I am sponsoring my wife and daughter. This morning when I check the application status on CIC online service, I found that the Sponsorship Application Status changed from "In progress" to "Decision Made", Permanent Residence Application Status still shows "Application received".

We contacted our immigration consultants and were told they have not received any email notifications yet.

If someone could add our case to the spreadsheet. Here is our timeline:

-- Application received on Jan 14 2016
-- AOR received on Mar 02 2016
-- Request to resubmit our daughter's birth certificate and custody document (despite the fact all documents were submitted with original application)
-- OWP received in July 2016
-- Sponsorship Application Status changed from "In progress" to "Decision made"
-- still waiting........

Hello guy,

I applied in March 2016. Application was received. My wife's approval was received in July but whenever I log in to check my status it says application received and medical received and it has been like this from beginning.

I have applied for OWP and paid landing fees as per their email but I do not see anything.

Is there anyone who applied in March 2016 and is at same stage as me? I know this whole process takes time but still.

Regards.

Who is the PA (and who is the sponsor), you or your wife?

We applied March 2 2016, me as the sponsor, my wife as the PA; no dependents. We have only heard the following from CIC:
- AOR (Sponsor) on May 13.
- OWP June 29.
- PCC request August 10 (in error; we satisfied it anyway).
- Medical accepted (just before it was set to expire) Oct 13.

Otherwise, there has been nothing. They are processing FIFO (First application in, first application out). So seeing movement in January applications now is good -- means the end is coming!

Azzil, why not request that Canada Post forward all your mail to new address just in case it goes to old address? I think you have to pay but at least you will have peace of mind.

I just checked the service, thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed.

My wife was sent a PCC request in August. Unless they have changed the form letter, Original PCC's have to be sent to IRCC's CPC (probably Vegreville; address is in the letter). I would courier that to the office that requested it (so you get a signed receipt). The webform does work for files (though I tried about a month ago and apparently they have yet to attach them?). It asks for attachments after you write a note.

Double check how they have requested to receive the PCC.
