Is anyone else having trouble uploading PDF forms to MyCIC?

I am trying to submit an application for a temporary work permit online via MyCIC. It asks me to fill out a file called IMM1295E.PDF and upload it. The problem is that when I try to upload it I get the following error:

---

*
Document is not a valid PDF file

If I click the the validate button in the PDF it says everything is fine.

Is anyone having the same problem?

Edit: I cannot upload my cv either! I get the error:

You have specified an incorrect file format for your attachment. Retry with another format. The following file formats are allowed: DOC; JPG; PDF; PNG; and TIFF.

The file I am uploading is most definitely a PDF (I tried both the extensions .pdf and .PDF).

I am having the exact same problem, it is absolutely infuriating. Did you have any luck, in the end? Any tips?!

It's working now!

Either there was a problem that CIC fixed, or it was because I switched browser.
When I tried earlier with:
* Firefox on Fedora Linux
* Chrome on Ubuntu Linux
...it didn't work.

But Chrome on Windows 7 did work!!
