Just based on so many different cases I am reading here and there, if you have had lots of trips to other countries in the last 5 years, specially to some specific countries in the middle east, it is advisable to have a complete sworn translation of your passport with all the stamps (you might have some stamps in Arabic, Turkish, etc., better to have them translated separately and add them all to your package). Again i would say that this is not obligatory in the first place and lots of guys do not send anything more than what is mentioned in the IRCC website, but this was just a personal experience.

I'm not sure if my application is lost or it's just taking time to process as i sent them a message via the webform inquiring about my application and what's going on it with it and they sent me this.

I shipped my document out on Nov 5th with express shipping (Tracking # and all) and they received it 3 days later.

They sent me this, no idea what to do, either resend my document or wait..


"We verified the information you provided and were not able to locate the application sent to the Case Processing Centre, in Sydney, Nova Scotia.

Has anyone had this happen?

They’ve not lost your application. If your application is received on November 8th, in the best case scenario, you would receive your AOR on January 8th-ish, according to the very current timeline and processing time. Expect a probable delay due to new year holidays as well. The reason they told you that they can’t find your application is that they’ve not opened your application yet, and it’s not in their system. It doesn’t mean they’ve lost it! You will get your AOR over the second week of January hopefully. In case you don’t receive your AOR after that, call them or send a webform. You’re still safe. Good luck.

Hello

My wife filed her pr renewal application through Canada post and it got delivered on 31st December 2020. After it got delivered I was going through the forum and realised there were some mistakes like in the travel history section i just mentioned the trips to country of previous residence and forgot to mention vacation trips. Although The number of absences days would still remain the same but i forgot to mention vaction trips would this affect my application?

Also im trying to link the application online so how many days does it take to show online.
