Hi
I have applied for PR under Express Entry in January. Now I received a message in my CIC account requesting the folowing:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
CELPIP: Original CELPIP language proficiency results (photocopies are not acceptable)
...
When original documents are requested, you must upload the
original documents to MyCIC. We do not accept copies signed by notaries.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't remember what I had uploaded to prove my Celpip. Can anyone tell me what usually is required to upload in the online application for language tests? If it is scan of the results, then should I upload the scan of my results again?

Did anyone receive this message from CIC, and if so what exactly did you upload?

The message is asking for "original" results. Is a digital scan considered as "original" document?

A digital scan of the original test result that CELPIP sent to you.

Click on "View submitted application" to upload your document.

I received the request from CIC today as well

Fingers crossed for good news

Thanks a lot for the reply.
Do you remember if in the online application we had to upload the celpip result or we probably only entered the information like test date and scores, without uploading the results? and that's why they are asking for it now?



Also may I ask, when did you submit your application and what other reaction have you received from CIC since you applied for PR?
My application was submitted only a month ago. I don;t know if CIC has already done anything on it or the initial thing they do is checking for completeness?

We were not required to upload the test results. However, CIC can request for the test results at anytime during the application process.

I don't know why CIC requested for the results now, but I don't think it's anything to be worried about.

I submitted on January 16th, 2017 (so about a month ago) and this is the only change that has been done on my application since then.

I want to believe CIC has done something on the application and they just require the English test results to "complete" the completeness check, at least I hope so.

I exactly submitted my application on the same they as yours!
I agree with you, nothing to worry about at this point.

So...

I uploaded the document yesterday and today I got an email saying "Your application has been updated..."

But there are no changes to my status or inbox, I'm guessing this is the famous ghost email.

Fingers crossed for a positive change this coming week.

I just noticed that I have actually also received the email saying your application has been updated. I have not uploaded my Celpip yet, though.

That's great news!

I am going to upload my Celpip now.

One more question. I am thinking to attach my husband's IELTS results to my Celpip too. Do you think it makes sense. I don't know why they requested my Celpip but not his IELTS.
Are you applying as a single applicant?

or maybe not, because the file will go in my documents' section and his section is separate.
They seem not to need that..
