I am responding to a special assessment review and have 47 documents to upload but the system will only allow 10. Does anyone know a work around?
Thanks!
I always combine them into one PDF with a cover letter.
I use Foxit PhantomPDF. With this program and can combined pdfs, take single pages from one PDF and add to another. Love it.
Alternatively you could do several submissions. A pain really.
Thanks for the tip! I will look into that program. I just figured out that I could do it in batches. This is a special assessment review and the amount of detail they asked for was ridiculous so I had way too much to combine. I feel like they will still come back and ask for more ![]()
Either you merge and make 10 files or upload 5 times.
You can zip the files or you can combine pdfs. I’ve had success with both
I have a been using an open source app called NAPS2 to combine pdf’s for this purpose. I started to for scanning documents and then discovered it could do much more…
Zipping them is best and takes mere seconds.
As long as the file size is OK it’s all good and pretty much any desktop OS will do this natively.
But adding the PDF files together is easy too in Adobe - drag and drop, or make a “Portfolio” (if it’s still called that…I’m on V9 which is ancient haha).
Another possibility is using fax.
Yep - I have done that, too, with varying success…as the fax is not physical any more, just a service from voip.ms. Short stuff seems to be no problem, and CRA used to (not sure now) turn it off overnight.
Also, seems to me they are phasing that out…I recall reading something, somewhere…
Check…announced Jan 7/26 that fax will be retired “soon”. T3010s are a problem as these were often faxed in.
I’ve been trying to fax things for months to various CRA fax numbers and regardless of size or time of day, every result is BUSY. I think they took them offline. We’ve been mailing all our adjustments to them whenever we can’t respond/adjust online. ANNOYING
CRA is the pretty much the only person I need a fax line for (part of my IP phone service). In a pinch it’s good because you know they received your submission. It may be a great idea someday when CRA perfects uploading but they’re not at that point yet.
They don’t care. They see it as a “human-is-required” task which is inherently insecure. (They’d be wrong about that, but…)
Doesn’t matter. CRA is decommissioning or has decommissioned fax services all over the place. The inability to reach them (as posted above by various folks) is evidence of that.
