On the official record

Official / RED VERIFIED

IRPR s. 10 requires the application in writing, signed, with the information and documents the Regulations require, and with evidence the fee was paid.

The Express Entry completeness PDI says an incomplete application is rejected under R10 and the fees are refunded. The official AOR is the R10-passed letter.

Practice judgment

Practice judgment

Rejected as incomplete means you start again. On Express Entry that means a new profile if you want another ITA.

R10 is not a refusal on eligibility or admissibility, and it is not a procedural fairness letter. If a public page and the completeness PDI disagree, the PDI wins.

Labelled judgment. Not the official rule. Not legal advice.
