Hi DeOX,

You should be able to open your attached document before hitting to submit otherwise when they open it, they will receive the same error page that you are having right now.

Try to scan all your documents again and save it as .pdf file with less than 2MB size. Then upload it and see what will happen..

Good luck to us! ;)

Hi DeOX,

I am using Firefox, but I had an error message when I was trying to upload more than 2MB files. Then after I re sized it, it went through...
and yeah sometimes due to high volume of applicants applying online, there is a traffic in their system. I remember it kicked me out several times saying the system is upgrading, "try again later..." try submitting like later in the night. I did mine at 1am... :D

Hope it helps :D

Anne55,

Thanks for the info,I tried this but it is still not working.Anyways I have asked for help to call centre through mail in online application.Waiting for their reply.

I am confused on one more question in the form which asks if my immigration medical has been done.Is this the PR application medical check or the medical check performed at the time of my first work permit application.My PR application is in initial stages and have not done the immigration medical but medical checks were done for the first time I applied for work permit and i have a stamp from commision of canada in my passport for medical screening.Please help what should I do for this question?

Hi DeOX,

Sorry but there is no such question in my case like that. I applied for work permit extension with same employer under LCP.
Maybe you can contact the Call Center and ask this specific question for them.
Maybe others with the same experience like yours can share their knowledge too...

Good luck!

Hi DeOx,

Mine was transmitted March 9 and I received an email from them that it was successfully transmitted to their system.
Check you junk mail if you haven't got one in your inbox.

Good luck! ;)

Hi everybody, i was reading all your replies. Too bad I didn't open this forum often, I should have read all your questions and perhaps gave my answers based on my experience since I was the one initializing this question.

Anyways, I did encounter the same problem with you all. I wasn't ask to submit my employment contract which caused the refusal of my application online. Good thing I still have enough time to re-apply otherwise I will be forced to apply for restoration which is so costly.

If you have just submitted your application online then always e-mail the cic about your documents. Tell them there is no space for your employment contract in the document section, you're only asked to submit copies of your passport. When they get to your email and replied, you'll be instructed to open your online application again and you will then see a space where you can upload your employment contract it's exactly labeled as "copy of employment contract". I too tried to put the copies of my passport pages and copy of my employment contract in one file but still it didn't work to them. Your passport pages should be in 1 file and your employment contract in another file. These two documents should be uploaded separately...

I paid 300 dollars for my wp extension and very true, it's basically a pain in the pocket!! So if you have just started taking the process then don't forget to email the cic.

hello, Im new here. I think I'm having the same problems as you guys. I applied for extension of work permit under the same employer online, the application only asked me about a copy of my passport page on the document checklist, so I uploaded it the status is now provided, I also rcvd a message from CIC that my application has been transmitted, but everytime I clicked my passport page document I got the same error from the website over and over. Im worried now if it is ok, and sent successfully. Can I know the email address of who to inquire from just to check about my status, Im just afraid that they might not be able to view my documents and I had to reapply again and pay another fee. :mad:

Hi DeOx,

Once you signed in to "My CIC", you'll notice beside the document icon that there is a date. Mine is March 29, that is the day they will open your application, How I know this info?? I phoned the Call Center the day after my application was transmitted and that's what exactly they told me :D

So don't worry, in case they need additional documents from you, they will send you an email and yeah, you will be in implied status till you receive the result from them.

Just sit back and welcome the spring as it comes... ;)

Cheers :D
