My lawyers filed my refugee claim on my behalf and applied on the 10th and have been expecting an acknowledgement of claim document.
I got a mail that I should upload my Basis of Claim form, Mistakenly, I uploaded my narrative instead.

I have reported to my lawyers but they said I will wait.
Also when filing the BoC form , am i expected to copy and paste my narrative there or just put "see narrative"
Please, I checked IRCC web form and found a way to upload the Basis of claim form. Should i upload it or wait till they reply?

You're paying for a lawyer, I'd follow their advice. Should they be dealing with the documentation?

There is no issue in uploading your BoC through the IRCC webform, I would do it if I was you to be honest given you seem to be anxious about it. I would upload both the BoC and the narrative in the same webform.

In my BoC form I wrote a 1 line answer to each question and ended it with 'please see narrative'.

So for example:
Q: If you returned to your country, do you believe you would be harmed, mistreated or threatened by any person or group?
A: Yes I believe I would be harmed by XYZ, please refer to my narrative attached.

Hope this helps!
