I'm on this page
https : // onlineservices-servicesenligne.cic.gc.ca/eapp/fileUpload

The issue I'm having is everytime I try to upload it is telling me

Validation error: You have not completed the mandatory fields or you have not completed them correctly. Please make corrections where indicated.

Error Description: We are unable to validate your document at this time, please retry later.



Does anyone else have this problem? I'm pretty sure all my fields are filled in. I even get a barcode when I press verify

I have the same problem. I've been trying many times today and it doesn't work. My form is already validated and I got the barcodes.
If you got good news with your application, please let me know!

Hi guys, same here. I've tried different pdf software (including Adobe reader XI) and different browsers (Chrome and IE) and I always get the error message. It must be a problem on their side, hope they'll sort it out soon. Btw, do you know how to contact the technical staff of the website and let them know something's not right ?

They don't need to be informed. All errors get automatically logged and sent to the system admin. That is why I am saying wait until Monday, because unless a real disaster the system won't get maintenance outside business hours.

Be patient and enjoy the weather (it is sunny here :) )

I had the same problem before even after I updated my Adobe to the latest version. Here's what I did:

1. Copy the link of the form in the CIC site.
2. Open Adobe and paste the link File/open/filename
