URGENT: Outland app was sent INLAND

[Ponga]

Shabnam Akrami, I called CIC again, this time they are stating they put an inquiry into CPC-M to see if it was infact sent outland or inland, as it is showing on their screen as inland and outland. Seems like CIC needs to hire competent people, how the hell do you throw an outland app into the inland pile.....

Easy. They've replaced a lot of their seasoned employees with students that get three days of training.

Seriously!

if only there was a human element, knowing they thoroughly screwed up some peoples lives and not willing to fix the mistake they created and make them start all over again..... :-\

Cancelling a representative and putting your own contact info including the mailing address/email to receive communication, anyone can assist with that?

I believe it's as simple as submitting a revised Use of a Representative (or similar) form, but...it takes time for it to get added to your file.

When the MP calls they do not call the agents that we deal with. They have a separate number to call which is not availabe to us. They have the authority to ask and get information that we cannot So yes they can be told if the application is opened and looked at otherwise mine would still be inland incorrectly. Lawyers and general public do not have access to this service.

Perfect, i spoke with my sponsor's MP early this afternoon,how soon did you receive feedback from your MP regarding your application?

need some help/advice on what do to do. I applied via outland on January 19th 2015 or so i thought..... I got an AOR letter stating an application number but no UCI back on the 13th of March. Called to CIC call centre multiple times within the past 2 days and every agent has told me my application was applied via INLAND!!!!. I called my immigration representative who i should not have used to see if the application was sent outland or inland( i told her multiple times i do not want it inland). She stated that it was indeed sent outland, i have asked for a copy of the application she has sent which i have yet to receive to confirm if indeed it was infact sent outland. Let say this is a mistake on CIC and they placed my outland app to the inland pile , what are the necessary steps i need to take to rectify this problem. and would i have to restart over( meaning i would be part of the march queue not january) However if my app was indeed sent inland, i really do not want to restart over, can I submit an OWP request right now and when would i be approved say if i were to be approved? Any insights would be great. Thanks!

We also applied outland, but received a letter indicating it was inland. However my sponsorship was approved as outland. The Inland letter I (and now you) received (I was told) was a typo on CICs part. They had a number of complaints about this in the past month or two because of similar typos.

when did you get SA?

 

[Galano1213]

I got a call the same day from my MP but I live in PEI so they would not have as many calls regarding these kind of issues I would think.

Approval letter was received March 17, we received confirmation of the application being received December 19, on February 27.

They actually requested that we fill out another spousal questionnaire, so I suspect that the questionnaire might be related to the typo somehow?

Its clear we're being processed in country because they've already approved me and requested the medical (which should have been done up front) and the RPRF fee

Wow, i got the same letter as you mine dated march 13th , the "in canada part about passports freaked me out and alerted me to call CIC"

I honestly don't know what to suggest. We were going to withdraw and resubmit inland on the advice of our consultant, but a week or two before my partner was due back in Canada I received my sponsorship approval. So...

Obviously there could still be an error somewhere, but it seems to be processing normally as it should so I don't intend to make waves at this point. Has your representative called CIC on your behalf? Ours was given an email address to use instead of a phone number to address this concern and was told that there were a lot of incorrect letters that went out.


** EDIT typos

I am about to withdraw them as a representative and ask for a full refund, she is beyond incompetent, i have already called cic multiple times, multiple agents have stated that a inquiry has been made on my file to see if it was in fact filled inland or outland, as their screen show it being processed as both inland and outland(wtf?). I also contacted my sponsors MP to get involved and assist me to inquire whether it was indeed file inland or outland, i would assume if i dont hear anything within the next 2-3 weeks it was filled inland and that point i might just apply for the OWP as i dont wanna restart again.

This was only so he could apply for the OWP and stay in Canada while working. It wasnt the best solution, but at the time we *thought* UK processing times were actually at 29 months. I am a lot more educated now (Thanks to this forum)

Same representative perhaps? ;D

I might just hang tight for a month to be sure, but again I know how frustrating it is not to have answers, and the prospects of waiting longer are never fun either. I don't disagree that withdrawing your rep might be a decent idea though. If you want to read more about our application and the advice given there I'd pop over to the UK Outland thread, there was lots of advice given to me there. Page 1065 I believe -ish
