Hello, Can someone confirm if I submitted my Evidence of Communication properly. In the request letter from the London Visa Office, I was asked to send the evidence to the London office along with the request letter. But a couple of slots opened on my online account after the request was made. They were under the optional documents section and were labeled as "Explanation Letter". So, I uploaded the evidence onto them but I am not 100% sure if that is what I supposed to do. Can anyone help me with this?
Sounds like you did exactly the right thing to me - relax!

I also received a request letter and slots opened up on MYCIC saying optional explanation letter, and I uploaded my docs onto there. Be careful to make sure your document was under 4MB though. It shouldn't be too big of a file. Other than that, I also sent a physical copy to the London office. I think you should do so too in case there is any technical issue with the MYCIC upload.

Thank You. Yeah, I split the evidence over two documents to keep the file size under 4MB. I was going to mail a copy as well but the London Visa Office confirmed with me that the online submission is enough.

How did you confirm with LVO? Despite whatever LVO says, I'd still send a physical copy just because their IT systems are famously unreliable. Did your doc status change on MYCIC yet?

Sorry, but I can't see that you are on the spreadsheet at all, so cannot update. If you want to be added, can you tell us the details required for the spreadsheet here and I will happily add you.

No one knows what month or what order any visa office are working on, so I don't think anyone can say. You will be advised of progress and / or any additional requirements through your MyCIC account.

Sorry, we are not there, I forgot, our details are in the April Outland sheet. All my details are in my signature and unfortunately, we have not received our Medical request yet, so that is pending. Our status is married. As the application is being handled by a rep, our GCKey is not linked. Do let me know if you need any other information. Thank you!

I need three more bit of information. What is the nationality of the PA? Roughly where are you currently living (city / country)? Married or Common Law?

Thank you for your help! We are Indians and the PA is working in UAE, so I reckon our application has gone to LVO for this reason. I am currently in Toronto and we are married. Do let me know if you require any other info and really, these forums are a great source of help and guidance to newbies like myself, so Thank you.

Thank you. Now added to the spreadsheet, please add updates as a new post on this thread. Slightly unusual for an Indian PA to be processed by LVO, but not unheard of!

Perfect, thank you! And that is exactly what we thought, since we were expecting to be transferred to India, anyhow, here we are. Let's see how long the wait is. Thank you once again for your help and will surely keep you updated about our progress.

Go to the CIC website (here) http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/
Then type 'IMM 5669' into the search bar top right. You should use the Jun 2017 latest version.
