I received my application back today. I will have to resend it, my fault. I didn't ensure the full Bio-data page of my passport was visible.
But what really bugs me is they received my application on April 6th and had my letter of rejection typed up on July 19, and it arrived to me today. Why did it take 3 months to see that one page was not fully visible?
I am going to ensure this time I have tracking on it and expedite the mailing, but I am realizing now, I wont have this in time for my trip end of September. Is there a way to possibly get their attention and have this processed quicker?
Your application for a Permanent Resident card is not complete and therefore is being fully returned to you for the following reasons:
Other: The copy of your Primary Identification has missing information or is incomplete. Please provide a full copy of the Bio-data page of your passport including the Machine-Readable Zone (MRZ) located at the bottom of the page.
Applications dated more than 90 days before being received by IRCC will require that you update your absences, re-sign and re-date the application, otherwise the application will be returned as incomplete. << Does this mean I need to refill my application.
Also, why didn't they email me letting me know they needed a full image? I could have replied with the image and it would have been done.
We are in an electronic age with high speed data transfers, why is this a snail mail system still?
