CIC - Returned Documents after Landing

[lepatissier07]

Hi there,

I recently landed, and wanted to ask if somebody knows, how long CIC needs to return my documents. They requested originals of certain things which I need back. I don't mind the police clearances, but other stuff. It said on the checklist they would be returned.

Thx

Are you sure it didn't say 'will NOT be returned'? I have only ever seen on CIC instructions that they do not return originals.

Even so, you can make a case-specific inquiry explaining the situation and requesting the originals back, and you may find that they mail them to you. This is what happened to me when I accidentally mailed them originals for my initial student permit application back in London.

That's the thing, there was mentioned they needed original reference letters, (which didn't give) and other originals, like T4 from UK, Germany etc...... Originals..... I don't mind them having them to doublecheck my file etc. But that doesn't mean they can just have them, these are my documents for mel, for ret and so.....and didnot mention this on this chklist to send certified copies, they mentioned explicitly originals.
