Visitor record update

[TracyCa64]

Oh, hmm. That's interesting. For the 'from' I just out the current date. So I'd want to put Jan 4th (expiry date) for the from. Okay, I'll try that in the morning. Already turned the pc off. Lawl.

Yeah, because that is the date the VR expires and he is approved currently. I mean it's how I did it, but not entirely sure if it makes a difference. It just made sense to me because I am asking for an extension from the expiry date.

I found this online. It's older, but some of this might help. I also read that CIC does not want you to sign the form if you are submitting online. It will let you sign it electronically towards the end of your submission.

Hey Guys,

I know this might have been resolved but no solution has been posted.I'm replying nonetheless for those who might come across the same problem somewhere down the line.

I too kept receiving the 'Invalid pdf' error for almost 2-3 weeks. CIC sent me an email with a couple of questions but I had already tried all that, besides, the questions in the email seems to basic. I've pasted the email anyway. Don't forget, that you can get in touch with MyCIC via the MyCIC site itself. Just log into MyCIC and there's a link you can use called 'Share with..' or something.

Here's what I did to get things working.
1. You have to understand that these are intelligent forms and you can't mess around with the .pdf, else you wont be able to upload it or it wont be read.
2. Close all your browsers
3. Open ONLY IE, not Firefox, not Opera
4. Go to cic.gc.ca
5. Search for the form you want, open in a new tab. Don't download yet
6. Fill the form completely in one go (you can have another one that you can copy paste from)
7. Now save the form on your desktop
8. Navigate to MyCIC and upload.
It worked 10/10 times for me. I tried editing the form on my desktop because I noticed a mistake, and it didn't let me upload it. I had to download a new one and follow the steps above.

Yeah but when I open it in ie or chrome it does the can't open thing.

Mine did that too when I was trying to get the application from the My CIC GC key page too. That is why I went to the CIC website and got the form from there instead.

If it still won't work through the day tomorrow we'll try redoing the forms. Sigh.

Sorry to hear that. Get some rest, tomorrow is a new day.

Get the form from the CIC website, don't add any signature and see what happens.

Nighty!!

We tried redoing the form and got it to upload. Yay! So now he'll be on implied status until we leave on the 24th. Then hopefully they'll let him come back in on the 31st :/

Still don't know what to do with the VR when we leave on the 24th..

Hopefully you will receive your AOR before you leave for your trip. Just bring everything with you and explain that he would like to visit Canada while his application is being processed. Even if they only give him 6 months, he can apply for another extension.

I am soo glad it finally uploaded. I know how frustrating it was for you.
Happy New Year to you & your hubby.

 

[ayrazar]

We don't even want the 6 months haha. He's going back to work in March. We wanna expedite the house buying part of adulthood so we're a bit financially driven

Happy New Year to you too! Thank you so much for all your help Tracy, is it?

 

[TracyCa64]

WOW!!!
I just received my approval for my visitor extension. ONE DAY!!
I can't believe it was so fast. Now just waiting for PR approval.

Happy New Year!!

Yes, my first name is Tracy. You are so welcome for my help. I at least hope it helped. LOL
I love this forum and am glad to give back anytime I can. Soo many people on here I can call my "friends".

Smiles,
Tracy

 

[ayrazar]

Whoa seriously? Oh man now I'm nervous. Like, on the off chance they deny him. Uhm. Man. Hell. I wonder what will happen with us.. Thx for the update.

OMG!!! I was soo wrong!! You know, I thought it was too fast too. LOL
I got an email that I had an update, signed in and clicked on the message. It looks like I clicked on the wrong one. I have my old file from my last extension still on there and I must have clicked on that one. That is where I got the "approved" from.
Today I got an email from them saying I had an update on my application. I signed in and saw the message and it was for my current application and it stated that my file was OPEN and that they didn't need any other documents. So, at least I know they are working on it. At the same time I realized that I had clicked on the old one the other day. UGH!!

I just want to apologize for posting this incorrect info. I feel soo bad and like a total idiot. LOL

Best Wishes to everyone who is waiting.

Smiles!!

 

[ayrazar]

No problem

I was just looking at your side profile, and you got AOR a month ago and don't have SA yet? Not saying that's cause for concern, I just thought that was rare.
