Yes, I'm positive my initial email went through...attachment was only 2MB in size. I also got that auto-message reply email as well, so, I know for certain they got it..
In my case I got test invite from Vancouver office email address and after 1 month Ingot request to submit my scanned color copies of Passport from same email address. 20 days later Language, Probations and Physical Presence turned green. I think in your case they might have missed your email or it got lost in there system. For submitting documents I think they should follow a process to upload documents somewhere rather than just email.

A couple of questions for anyone who took oath recently :
1. How much time it took to receive citizenship certificate after oath ? I know they mentioned In oath letter that we can request it to be sent sooner than 2-4 weeks .
2. Is it ok to print black and white for oath form and sign ?
1. Can take anywhere between a week and 4 weeks. If you have a valid reason as to why you need it sooner, you should request the clerk at the ceremony.

2. Should be fine AFAIK.

I also received the automated reply after few seconds and that included that "If you are providing requested documents, we will not provide you with a confirmation of receipt. We will contact you only if we require additional information."

Does anyone know the email address for the IRCC Vancouver please? we need to send our passport scans but the email they gave us is not the right one, we have not heard back in 20 days since we sent it. Thank you!!
Did you got auto reply from the email when you send the passport scan ? Thats the only confirmation kind of thing you will get when you send them passport scans.

No I did not, the email address we sent it to was: IRCC.DNCitWPGScheduling-ConvocationWPGCitRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca
But this was the return address for testing request email (the testing invitation and passport scan request pdf was in the same email)

Do you happen to have the email of the Vancouver office you sent the scans to please?

If I'm wrong, can someone please correct me, but I don't think you need to as their birth won't affect your application.

I had received the passport copies request in Vancouver from a similar email address DNCITVANTESTS@cic.gc.ca. Same had happened with my wife and we both responded to same email 6 weeks ago. Our status in ecas converted to DM 3 weeks ago. So, it's weird that you are told to re-send to a different email. anyways, it's a step on the way. I had lost 3 weeks earlier because my physical presence status had been completed and then had flipped back to +in progress". A week later I received the passport request.
So, make sure that you received an auto response from the received email.
Please don't be upset from such things. You are not far away from being a Canadian citizen. Good luck.
Same thing is happening to us right now, do you mind sharing the email address for the Vancouver office that you sent the scans to please? or is it the one you mention above? DNCITVANTESTS@cic.gc.ca.?

So, what is the deal with ghost updates?
Is it a good sign, or not important?
How long after that should I expect to see a real update?
