What will happen now?? I have only just realised now looking through my photo copies. I have no idea how I missed it at the time
 
I'm guessing I will have to wait until they contact me. Won't effect me too much? Hopefully only delay it a week or so?

Did you file as a common-law couple or as a married couple?
 
Since that form is technically optional for a common-law couple, it really shouldn't have a negative impact (meaning your entire application being returned).

Having said that...you're at the mercy of the person that actually opens your package and does the cursory examination of the forms (checking for signatures) to know that it's an optional form.

I didn't sign any of the forms that didn't apply to me. I only wrote N/A.

I just wasn't sure if the OP had filled it out and failed to sign it. (AKA was it a common-law application?)
 
It was a Common-Law application.

I believe the form was filled out and included, but not signed...which seems odd, because it would have needed to have been notarized or witnessed by a Commissioner of Oaths.

*shrug*

Sorry guys i mean it was the form IMM5490.... Not IMM 5409. Any advice??
Hmm that makes things a bit worse IMHO.
They can return your app or just ask you to resend this form signed
 
I see, can i not contact them? Or will i have to wait until they get in touch with me? Such a stupid mistake. So pissed.

They already sent you aor?
Without this you don't have a file number so they can't track your package.
If I'm wrong someone correct me please.

No AOR, i only sent it on tuesday.
Oh OK. In this case I think it's pointless to try a call.
Sorry I don't have another answer now.
 
Thank you for your help though. Touch wood they will just use common sense and let me resend the one form. How long will it take them to look at it? is it 56 days??

Not exactly.
From what I understand, when they send you aor they already look if everything is right and signed.
