Add yours- reasons applications have been sent back

[Canucks and Hawks]

Hey Guys

Thought we could have a thread about reasons why people have had their whole applications sent back by mail to make corrections for current and future applicants

 

[Forte]

Incomplete or abbreviated addresses. Don't forget to include zip codes.

 

[nkoff]

birth certificate translated by a non-certified translator from back home.

 

[luckbymyside]

Missing form from country specific requirements even tho it came into effect after application was sent.

Oh no. The worst!

Oh no. The worst!

Not only that, they mixed someone's papers in my file who applied one day after I did and returned his app due to these missing papers. I think that was even worst. I posted his papers on his address and then get in touch with him to figure out when he applied and how papers got mixed. So, then found out his application was returned because of missing papers that were mixed by cic in my file.

The papers mix up is a very serious privacy breach. Did you report it to IRCC? They have to investigate and make sure it does not happen again.

How do you report, however the only option is to call cic agent and wait for 45 minutes to get connected? This is the only option which didn't work but I believe the other person reported it.
Yes, it is definitely breach of someone's privacy and confidential information.

Which one is the full version of the NOA? Because the ones we received on the mail were 4 pages long and had the line 150 (total income) which is required as per IRCC website.

That is the full version. The summary version doesn't have line 150 and is only 1-2 pages

I sent in the old checklist instead of the new one cause I didn’t know they had updated in Feb. and I had been working on my application since October 2017
