Ok. I now remember I submitted it along with the rest of the forms.. I should not forget this kind of thing, of what I did, I mean ..
I did submit the Schedule A printed with the application, but I guess they need this form in a digital format and this is why they asked again. Monitore mycic and ecas for updates

Has anyone who submitted their Sched A and PCC in the first half of June (1-15) on their MyCIC Account seen the Background Check in the table go from "Not applicable" to "In Process" yet?
We submitted the PCC on Jun 14 and just TODAY we got the message saying that they have received the document. Mycic still showing "We need additional documents to process your application. Check your messages below for details." on "Review of additional documents" and
Background check still Not applicable.

Hello Everyone
I received my AOR on june 22, 2017. I haven't received request for PCC or schedule A yet. I called cic 2 days after, I received AOR, they said, they have sent a request for PCC and schedule A. However, my rep. said they is no such request. I saw in the spreadsheet that many people have received PCC request on same day of AOR or next day and even people who have applied after me. I'm concerned now. Does anyone else had same situation?
Thank you
Oh man, this is why I never use a rep, they just exist to take your money and make we do the work that we have to do anyway. Call the guy and teach him how to do his job, CIC is waiting for these documents and sometimes people don't get the request.

Its David Cohen's law firm. I called cic again and they said they have requested the documents due to technical error I didn't receive it. I emailed my case manager she hasn't replied yet. I don't have access it link the webform. I'm so frustrated.

are you sure? you can submit it through webform even if you have a rep. it's not like mycic wherein you can't link if you have a rep. submit it asap. you have confirmed it with cic. you don't need to wait on your rep.

go here for the ircc webform

As you wrote, "including you", you yourself are at least 1 person, so that would be 1, and then you won't need to put zero in the field, it would be 1 at least.
Also, the definition of a family member for IRCC for this application is "Your spouse/partner, dependent children and their dependent children". Siblings, parents and grandparents do not count as family members on this application, but need to be listed on the family information form.

How did you submit your PCC, through mail or webform or by uploading to your MyCIC account? I uploaded to MyCIC directly the day they sent the request on MyCIC, and the additional documents part changed to "The additional documents you provided have been uploaded" the next day. I'm guessing no more changes will happen. I've seen BGC has changed to In process from N/A for some people but so far all those people I know have been those who submitted by mail or webform, no one who uploaded.

did your husband file taxes for 2016 though? because it should be available by now. my NOA was mailed to me and my husband's was available in his online account. i just printed it out.

you should try sending it by mail since i think it's faster. i'm not sure though, i haven't tried sending in docs they didn't request. CSE replies take a month or more.

add your details in the new entry sheet.
Yeah, I filed the 2016 tax. I'll check if its available now.

Application was sent in on May 31 and we're still waiting too! Based on what I've been seeing it seems like we have at least two more weeks before it comes through, since many people have been getting them within two months of the application date.

hi..is there anyone who got their owp approved who applied may 27 or later? still waiting for my 2nd owp that i requested to have the conditions removed. :(

Quick question shazahsan. I fail to list my step brothers in my first application. Now I'm thinking of including them in the list in this current application . Will that contradict my information IRCC already have and will that affect my application in any way?
