CIC just returned my application with a letter stating that I needed my IELTS original document. However it was included with my application and is valid.
WTF are they kidding me!
I included every document as required to the letter....and now I have nobody to question or clarify why it was not read.

Its sheer bad luck buddy...Did you find that original score card after they returned the application package?
 
sandman74 said:
Nope. Just an obscure X and a few check marks on the first fee payment form and the IMM5669

How is it possible that the IELTS score card is missing from the returned application package? Does this not surprise you?
 
Why would it surprise me.
CIC is obviously run by a few monkeys who may or may not be able to synthesise a thought without putting their heads together. It is extremely frustrating to say the least.
Its not like my application would be difficult...I am an Aussie with all the correct documents and substantial work history here in Canada...

Did you find all other documents in your package except the IELTS score card?

Sorry to hear this sandman74. Could you tell when was your application received by Sydney office?
 
Yep. Every single one. And not only that. Its like they stopped at the background declaration. No red check marks anywhere else.
The only thing I can think is that my wifes passport scan did not include a birth cert, however she is Canadian and I wasn't sure if she needs to be included. The forms request documents for spouse but do not seem to clarify whether she needs to be part of the process...
 
>:( I think I will go to the gym and imagine the idiot who supposedly got paid to process my application...
I have no idea what to do now......
 
There little to nothing you can do but send the application back again with ur IELTS original sheet (Hope u requested 2 copies of the test result while you were paid for the test?)
If u call CIC and tell them that ur application was returned as IELTS original score sheet was missing inspite of u attaching the doc... and that after u received ur returned application the score sheet isn't there ... all they will tell us ... Resend application with the score sheet this time. >:(
 
sorry to hear that, it is indeed just a case of What the hell just happened. It might have been just a mistake on their part, the problem is that you have no way
to find anyone who will be held accountable for all this.
I think it was a very rare occasion. You'll need to either get another report card, I think it's possible, but you might have to pay for it, or use the second copy that you got after the test. In any case, since you have all the documents ready, just bite the bullet and resubmit, it's highly unlikely you'll have any kind of similar experience, and if indeed all the docs are there, then it's just a matter of time for you to go through the whole process.
also, perhaps today is the day you should buy a lottery ticket, since you were that unlucky with the application, perhaps the luck will even out.
hang in there. I had to resubmit my application too, but it was the credit card, "mastercard" decided my card was compromised and reduced the transaction limit to $400 or something. No matter how I begged them, they would not raise it, so my fee didn't get processed and the whole application came back. I was pretty upset, but now it's in the past. I resubmitted immediately after I received the application back. So check everything, resubmit and good luck!

Thanks for all the support folks. I had to vent some energy at the gym. So luckily for me I did in fact request 2 copies of the IELTS. I am an eternal pessimist. So the only question I have now is, do I send a cover letter stating what happened and re-send the original application or do I now need to do a new application? Will they accept the one I sent with the CIC red ticks everywhere?
 
Yes yes what u gotta do now is attach the Ielts score with the application returned. U do not need to do the whole application again as they have already marked over ur application.
Just write a cover letter explaining ur scene and that u have attached the Ielts again.
