URGENT HELP REQUIRED.

I had submitted my application on 18th May 2026 online.

Today, I received an email from IRCC of missing information. When I opened my application is shows :

Go to your fee payment

    • Make sure all files are clear and easy to read.
  2. Update your physical presence calculation

I AM at a complete loss to understand this. I had made the payment of $653 for the application and it shows in my bank account. I also had attached the fee receipt as it shows as attached pdf file in my submitted copy that I saved. I have not made any refund request as stated in their message. I will be calling IRCC tomorrow to understand more. The message is also unclear if they have refunded the fee or not. I don't want my application delayed by another 4 months as a resubmission and for no fault of mine.

Any help will be appreciated.
Update : I resubmitted the application on 20th August with a new payment. I have also touched base with the local MP and am waiting to hear back, and will still will have to wait for next time as office is currently on leave.

Does anyone have any advice for me on how to expediate my application ? I don't want to wait for another 3 months.
