i thought the time frame was a guidline and not fixed, i would be suprised if you got a refund, have you spoke to them? you could contact a immigration expert and look for professional advice, there was a thread before about this and i think the only way to get a refund was through a mistake on there part but im only guessing so dont quote me.

Yeah Its true .........you will only receive a refund if DIAC make a mistake.

And they do not consider the new changes as a mistake.
