Try to change file size and/or type when scanning. Try saving it as .jpeg rather than .bmp or something.
Or don't scan all pages at once if its causing it to be a big file.
Do it carefully.
I have compressed my file from 4.5 MB to 1.2 MB but it has lost quality though readable. Is it good enough to upload on myCIC?

Since i am required to send passport photo digitally how am I supposed to send the back of the photo? Should I send scanned copy or original digital photo?

I have sent them by post bcoz they have clearly mentioned:

Please send these photographs to the address provided below. These photos must be received by our office within 45 days from the date of this letter.

and secondly they have mentioned that send 2 photographs with the stamp of photographer at the back. how can we upload it. i have uploaded as well but just the front side bcoz i knew they have received the original ones.

Hi,

Because mostly they don't take immediate action on the documents uploaded through my CIC or at least this was the case with me. They asked me some forms to upload which I did immediately but no action was taken for 10 days (Even still its shown as provided instead of received). After 10 days I sent through regular mail and very next day when they received a new line added in e-case "We started processing your application". It may be co-incidence but what I believe If you upload through MY CIC they will open it only after expiry of the time provided but if you send it through regular mail there may be chances they will open the file once they will receive documents at least to place those in file. This is my perception and I may be wrong.. ;D ;D

Thanks..

I understand this. They will definitely check it after the due date but in my letter they didn't mention any address to send it via mail but how to send it digitally through myCIC. Plus two days after I got the documents request my file is transferred to London visa office. I am not sure which address is to send documents now.

Hi,

In my request letter it was clearly mentioned that either via My CIC or to Mississauga office so I sent it to Mississauga. Even though before that I already received the transfer letter in which it was mentioned my further communication should be to LVO. If no address is mentioned then upload and wait. And if you want to send through mail then LVO will be your best shot.

Wait for other members if some one else will response.

Thanks..

I recieve a similar request for photos and then a day later I got the email that sponsorship is approved and file is transferred to LVO. I called CIC and asked where I should be sending the photos to. They asked me to send them to the location mentioned in the letter. Therefore I am sending to Mississauga.

The other thing I am wondering is that I know 4 people so far who applied in december and have gotten request to resend photos. Maybe the person who is opening these files doesn't know the correct photo size or maybe the specifications changed recently?? How can so many people be wrong..

I send 2 photographs 50mm x 70mm with the stamp and personal information on the back of one photo only. The face size was also as per appendix B. Anything wrong here?

I am Sept applicant and i got the same request after my file moved to LVO, so i sent my photos to LVO.
I think the problem is with the size of the face which should me between 31mm to 36mm, mine was bigger than that so we should consider the face size as well.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Salaam all,

I am new to this forum. Just filed my application recently and CPC received it on Dec 16 as per Canada Post tracking. I'm a Canadian Citizen sponsoring my wife who lives in Sialkot. What is the next step? Will I receive an email from CPC confirming they have received it? Also, when can I link my application to online account? What is the difference between ECAS and MyCIC? Help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

The earlier lines which were disappeared earlier from Sponsor's side E-case came back again. Can any one else check if it happened in their e-case status as well??
