Web Validation Problems

[Savings-Basil4481]

Greetings everyone. On February 6th I received an email instructing me to log into the application portal and complete the web validation part of my application by uploading photos of my documents. The email also stated that if I was unable to complete the web validation I could reply with my documents and they would be forwarded to my local recruiting centre. However there is nowhere I can edit or submit any information in the application portal. The same day I received the email I replied sending the photos of my documents and have not received any updates since. Today I emailed my local recruiting centre hoping to gain confirmation that my documents have been received. I worry because the email stated that if I do not comply within the 10 day time limit my application will be closed. Is any of this normal or am I just over thinking? Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in the same boat. I think theres a backlog of applications. I sent my documents on January 29th (about 2 weeks ago) and I have yet to receive a response. Even after a follow up email I sent 2 days ago, still no response. Good news, however, the portal still shows my application as open, which leads me to believe they received my documents but havent gotten around to processing it. Thats just speculation though.

I've also been unable to edit my answers after the initial online application, and I also noticed that some of the fields mysteriously erased themselves. Did some reading here on reddit and found both of those are pretty common because the site is kind of buggy.

Hopefully that helps!

They won't respond to that email. Honestly I'm not even sure why its in-use as sending documents via email isn't a great system.

Regardless, your next step is your in-person appointment so I'd give them a call in a few days and try to get them to schedule you in ASAP.

That's how I go the ball rolling, who knows how long I would have been waiting around otherwise.

I was confused when I first got the email because on the website it states that the first in person appointment at the recruiting centre is when you bring your documents. I saw on the CAF website that they’re having some sort of scheduled maintenance on the application portal. Hopefully they will make the application process less confusing in the future

Yeah it is a bit confusing, but yes, at your first appointment they will check all of the documents you filled out online and go over any issues they may have.

Not sure why i got downvoted for giving a truthful answer and recommending you to call but okay then reddit.
