My first attempt at reporting online in July last year was successful, as was my second report in October. However, this month . . . .

I have tried every day for the past 7 days. I checked, double-checked and triple-checked the data I entered, all to no avail. I am now outside of the online reporting 'window'.

I don't live far from the provincial immigration office so it's not a big deal for me to report in person but I'm only human so I can't help wondering, "Why???"

Has anything changed since your last report?

New passport?

Nothing has changed; same address, same passport and I haven't been out of the country.

However, on checking the receipt of my last 90 day report, which I dutifully attached to the last page of my passport, I've just noticed a mistake. I can't understand how I missed the mistake when I printed the receipt.

Instead of my name shown as (example only), 'Peter William Jones', the receipt shows 'Peter Jones William'. My July report receipt, which I saved on my computer's hard drive, correctly shows 'Peter William Jones'.

Very strange and maybe the reason why my current online report won't process.

Given name & middle name are not mandatory fields. Better only to provide mandatory information IMHO.

Hi there don't worry you are not alone. I have given up completely on online reporting it's so much simpler and easier to go and do it face to face.

Why not do it by mail? Too late this time, of course.

Just provide your surname, forget about given name or middle name, a friend of mine eventually managed to have a successful reporting on line by doing just that. His given name has a hyphen (ex: Jean-Paul) and that screwed up everything. Immigration took Jean as given name and Paul as middle name. People with é, ç, ë, æ, ï etc in their given name have probably problems reporting as well, not sure.

Just did the online 90-day on Monday. Easy and smooth.

Same mixup of given and middle name in my slip!

Another little bug in the system

As written: leave both empty, which I did not notice in last report in Nov, but no problem with the correct data.

My first one was no problem, my second got refused, I'm not sure why. I went back in a couple days later using a scan I'd saved of my first report, put that in, and got accepted.

For me the trip an immigration run takes a half day, so I'm loving the online report.

I reported online successfully in early January.

I now want to print the receipt. I check the status online and it shows the status as "approved" but when I click on the magnifying glass option under "View" it opens a new page with nothing on it.

Anyone else had this problem and managed to resolve?
