[wangloveday]

I am applying for my study permit online now. All files were uploaded perfectly except the two electronic forms, IMM 5257 E and IMM 1294. Everytime I upload them, I was told I submit an application form from scanned paper, but my forms are not. They are the orginal forms that I filled ,validated and saved... And I tried and tried and keep felling...
Is there anybody have gone through this process and have any advice?
Thanks...

I am applying for the study permit online, through cic application, and I upload the documents successfully after several trails! One advice for you is that, if you are also applying online, just open the electronic application form, complete it, validate it and then save it to your computer. Never download it first! That is how I did it... Also, the documents you sent shouldnt be too big.
Wish you good luck!

hey,
i have very less time to this, i am going to vfs and submitting hard copies

Mine is for summer intake.

Given that there are other travels in between, i cannot take chance with this online thing.

Good luck to you

I was having the same problem, and I found the solution after spending several hours on this. You have to fill the IMM 5257 form online directly from CIC before downloading it to your personal computer. After you fill the form, validate it, and then save it to your computer as pdf. Next, you can upload the pdf in CIC online application. If you download the form before validating it, it won't work. that is a strange bug in their system, and I hope they fix it soon enough to avoid this much of waste of time for us applicants.

Cheers,

rightly said .
iss form ki khawaari ka kafi ghantoun ki anthak mehnat k baad he pata chalta ha .
jab ap upload kerwa kerwa k thak jatay hu aur woh phir bh kehta ha k error .
then apki nazar jate ha samnay walay 5257 form pe ...
my application took exactly 12 hours
80 pages , scanned , converted into pdf.
then ik ik ker k set banaye , and then reduce size and bla bla
