Hi Sanjuk

Guess what!!! today I received the refund from barclays bank , it's a cheque for the amount that i paid wrongly. I was so happy.. I think you will get yours soon too.
Good luck and thanks for sharing your experience ..
All the best

I am glad you got your refund.

I also paid permenant residence fee for myself and parents (total $1470) through wrong payment method.

CIC contacted me to on 25th August to advise that payment method I used was only meant to be for Nordic resident and I should send the fees again using bankers draft. And they will also refund the online payments I had made earlier.

So far no refund or correspondence from CIC. Since I paid the fee through my Halifax account, I thought money would be credited back to the account. But looks like I will also be recieving a cheque?

Hi Adam

No worries , it may take a bit of time but be sure they will send you your money back , it takes generally 5 to 6 months from the date you contact them about the issue , so i guess you may have your refund around December - January .. of course it could be earlier than that .. I waited since May 2011 - to get the issue sorted this month.

Good Luck!

How did you contact them? What did you exactly do? This is very promising news!!

Hi
I sent them a letter in July, explaining the whole situation, and I put my file number and everything and a copy of the receipt from the bank.
That's all what I've done.
Good luck

sanjuk

ive done that already..along with going to the cic office and sending an email.

Im glad you got your refund though..its given me hope . I'm going to wait for the cic email regarding my application status and then take it from there.

sanjuk
