IFR plan - Not in the system
The new system is not anywhere near perfect.
On 5 occasions, I have arrived at a destination on a VFR upgrade to IFR, lodged in the air with ATC, due weather changes and to be told on arrival when calling CANCEL SAR
"We don't have any details for you"
TRY That!!
By the way, traffic was given - "No traffic" on the upgrade, which was less than 20nm, BUT FULL IFR, with cloud base at 1000AGL and cloud to 6000FT - [as a bank]
