Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

My app was signed for on 16 may still no charge on cc as yet . I think someone in Sidney needs to keep ringing cic' door bell just to keep waking em up.

Nothing at our end either...looks like our plans for coming out next March may be scuppered at this rate.

Leaving Vancouver for rainy Glasgow tomorrow to make matters worse!:thumbdown::mad:

I actually had plans for reaching earlier than that ... but cant even think about it now considering the pace they're processing files ..:(

On the other hand, I know couple of people here who's got AOR after 10 June, and have already been assesed for medicals and now waiting for RPRF :confused: Donno whats going on :frown:

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

That's a good point. We are hoping to send our app with full documents next week, including banker's draft for the initial $550 CAD each. My bank tells me the draft is valid for 6 months. What happens if 6 months into our processing they haven't cashed it yet? Do we need to send another one or just watch our application fail when they finally decide to?

Perhaps being a pessimist and should cross this bridge if we come to it, but I just like to be prepared as possible ;)

Technically they should request another form of payment, after all it is their fault for taking so long... In reality is this going to happen... I am guessing I may be about to find out come the 3rd Sept!
There seem to be quite a few of us in the same boat, hopefully I should know a little more come monday.

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

They don't seem to be asking for another method of payment at the moment, and seem to be using any excuse to refuse people (although mainly people whose jobs were on the old list, and are not on the new one). Don't give them the opportunity, do send another draft if necessary, or use a credit or debit card instead.

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

We sent a bankers draft with our full application pack to London. The funds come out of the bank account when the draft is issued. I don't suppose you know whether they are refunded automatically? And when would be the best time to send another draft - when they request it, or just before the other one expires?

Honestly, all this waiting drives you crackers!

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

Has anybody 30th April or later got 120 days email. My docs were received on 30th but no update so far. :(

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

Mine were received on April 30th also and still no response :confused:

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

If you ask your bank - they should be able to tell you when it was cashed and when it expires.

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

Did you get any response to the email? We are also still waiting. Delivered 28 April. As you know, J, we are on the "old list". I have a horrible, paranoid feeling they may be putting old listers to the back of the queue. Either that or we are all on someone's desk who is away on holiday!!

To make matters even more stressful, we had to submit new payment details while we were in Canada at the end of July as our credit card was compromised - if anyone needs to do this, we sent another payment form with the new details by Fedex to the 196 George St address.

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

I hate to say this but....did you speak with CIO about the compromised card or did youjust send in a new payment form and ask them to attach it to the application pack.

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

Oh, they know about it, and we got a name to send to!

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

Exactly what seems to be happening! :thumbdown:

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

That is fine then! You should be okay - they are just a bit slow at the moment because of the rule change!

Finger, toes and ears crossed for you :0)
