Dear Bryanna

Can you please help me.

Question 1: Can you please tell I applied on 11th May from Lahore, Pakistan. I am not able to link my paper based application to my online account. 1 month passed. I have created an account and tried to link my application under category of Temporary Resident Visa. I have tried couple of times but it says: Based on the information you entered, we found no applications.
I have double checked my information but it shows the same error. Does it mean that my application is not updated in their system OR I am doing some mistake somewhere.

Question 2:
People on this forum talk about IRCC email confirmation after submitting application. What is email confirmation from IRCC ? Does it mean that they have received your application ? Actually I have not received any email from IRCC in my email account. I am a bit worried whether they have recieved my application yet ?

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

1. You must make sure that you're entering all details exactly as per your application, your name as per your passport, no blank spaces before/after in any field, etc.

2. You won't get a confirmation email from IRCC when you submit a paper application. Did you get an email from VFS that said your application has forwarded to the visa office? That's the email you should have received


Cheers

Dear Brayanna,

I highly appreciate your effort that is put on us in answering our queries.

Yes I submitted Paper based application and right after 1 day of my submission, I received an email from VFS mentioning that my application was forwarded to Visa office.

However, I am entering correct details in linking my application but still getting the same response. Do you have an idea of how much time do Abu-Dhabi visa office take to enter any application in their system. My application was forwarded to the Canada Visa Office on 11th May 2017.

Thanks.

Do ensure you're entering all details exactly as per the application form, there must be no blank spaces before/after the detail in a field, name entered should match the passport.

You can also try to link by leaving the 'Place of birth' field as blank.

It could take up to a couple of days for a paper application to be recorded on the database (if the application is complete)

Hi,

Updates on the IRCC website currently may possibly be incorrect.

That said, if your wife and children have been refused three times, I suggest you order GCMS notes + do not reapply until you address the refusal reasons.

It's difficult to advise without knowing the complete facts about their situation


Cheers

Dear Bryanna,

I have tried linking my account multiple times. No success :(

I am doing in by my First/Last Name. I don't have my application number. Where can I get it. I may try doing it by my Application number.

Thanks.

You wouldn't know/have an application number because it's not been given to you as yet.

I suggest you wait for a few days for the technical glitches in IRCC's online system to get sorted

Hi,

I'm good. Thanks. Hope you're well too.

The status update for your fingerprints is normal as the visa office has received your biometrics.

Background checks could take from a couple of weeks to a couple of months depending on your specifics

You're not disturbing me :)

It's the background checks that are delaying a decision. You can expect a decision in a few days after the visa office gets an all clear report

Hi,

I'm good. Thanks.

I'm happy to see a positive decision for a Pakistan applicant after a number of other applicants were refused. That's great :)

You must email the Abu Dhabi + Islamabad visa offices to reconfirm that you can submit your passport to the Pakistan VAC. If you don't get the passport request letter in your MyCIC account, you can print off the email which you received from the visa office. This has worked for some other applicants


Do keep us posted about your visa validity
