You just gotta wait. It can take months. We need to be patient, sadly.

Hello everyone, Please advise
My application (submitted on 13 oct 2017) is returned today as incomplete, i included IELTs-Academic, but it is not acceptable to them, they only accept General Test.
Please advise me regarding the following:
- I am planning to include Language proficiency document and return the old application is it okay? Previously it was a family application but now I will apply separately as other members of my family can not provide language proficiency evidence at this time.
- I will send the old Application Fee which is for three people, will IRCC refund me the fee of two other members of my family as they will apply latter.
-Is one year Graduate Certificate of a College ( one year diploma) acceptable for IRCC as prove of language? Or can i submit the college language placement assessment test result which is just a piece of paper, written by hand?

Thanks for your assistance in advance,

Hi, sorry to hear that. Is the date on your application, when you signed, older than 90 days now ? If so, IMO, you would need to fill a new application unfortunately. I'm not certain if returned applications are exempted from this, but better be safe and fill a new one.

From the guide,

Note: Your application will be returned to you if it is:

• not signed and dated
• dated more than 90 days before we receive it
• post-dated (dated into the future).

You can use the same fee receipt, however. I don't think it expires.
Is the college in Canada ? If so, should be able to submit the graduate certificate.

Again, quoting the guide,

You attended or are currently attending a secondary or post-secondary education program in English or French, either in Canada or abroad.

• A degree, diploma, certificate or official transcripts from a secondary or post-secondary education program showing you studied in English or French, in Canada or abroad.

Do you mean the LINC placement results ? Then no, those are not accepted.

Can I provide my LINC/CLIC placement test as a proof that I meet the citizenship language requirement?
No. You must provide evidence that you have reached CLB/NCLC 4 or higher in speaking and listening as part of a LINC/CLIC course to meet the language ability requirement for your citizenship. A placement test done by a LINC/CLIC assessment center is not accepted as evidence.

Thanks for your great work, but I only see 7 test invites for hamilton/oakville/milton from the spreadsheet?

 

[Najimi]

Thanks ,
The letter that i got from IRCC (Annex A) says that you can sign this letter and send the complete application back to IRCC or you can get refund. Thus i assume that returned application may be exempted from the 90 days limit, but still not sure, need to confirm it.

That could be the same template that they attach to every returned application. I don't think it usually takes them 3 months to return an application. I would suggest to be sure before using the same application, assuming the date you signed is older than 90 days or will be by the time they receive it.

If i were you, i would fill a new one.
