I got request for biometrics and medical examination. And i just noticed, in both the forms (IMM5756 & IMM1017) my gender is mentioned as Male instead of Female.

In VFS centre here, they are concerned about the mistake in Biometrics information later. So when I contacted CIC immigration helpline, they suggested me to go ahead with the process and in meanwhile they will update the correct the gender in application. But my vfs centre wants me to have updated form with correct details.


What should do now!!!!????

Yeah..I made them amend my file and waiting for COPR...I can sure tell you the steps I did... First submit a case specific query web form from PA side... Also ask PA to call IRCC helpline regarding the same...


After submitting the form, I called IRCC 2 to 3 times..The officers who attended the calls were really helpful...Even before getting a response for my CSE I got my updated BIL soon. So just be patient and call IRCC and let them know the case...

Thanks for the information.
A case specific enquiry was submitted to CIC on 9th September and yet no update from them till date. Any idea about how does CIC normally take to address such issues?

First I got an acknowledgement kind of mail for my submitted query through my email. I submitted query on August 29 and got an email on Sep 5th. Then the updated BIL on August 30th and the updated medical instruction letter on Sep 11th.

I guess you should better check the IRCC people. And check for the lag in case. There must be a valid explanation.

I need to complete my biometric enrollment by 20th December and I have the same issue with gender. I have submitted a Webform 2 weeks ago but have not received any reply yet. Which number should I call IRCC on? I do not know my visa processing office.

I reached them @ +18882422100 through skype. If you are outside canada, you can contact them only with skype subscription.

But you can also use Google Hangouts and call CIC for free... The number is +1 613-944-4000. I raised a CSE from and I called them after 2 days from my CSE. And got the updated Biometric enrollment within 2 hrs. So give it a try. Agents in the other end will surely help you.

Hi, did you get it corrected, I am in same situation and it’s been a month I contacted IRCC through webform but no reply so far, from 3 months time to get medical done one month already gone, it’s a stressful situation.
