Any way to confirm if CIC has received my RPRF ?

[krazy_kh]

As the topic states, I am wondering if there is some way we can find out that the visa office has indeed received the RPRF scanned receipt that we email to them.

My visa office is Abu Dhabi and I the email I received stated "Once payment has been made, please provide our office with a copy of the bar code receipt (*.pdf document) with your file number, if payment was made online. If not paid online, please provide us with the scanned receipt along with your file number."
By OUR OFFICE I believe they mean the email address from which I had been sent this mail (ABDBIIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca). It was stated that I needed to do this within 30 days.

I emailed the scanned receipt more than 2 weeks ago but did not receive any confirmation or acknowledgement from the visa office. Now my 30 days are almost up and I am panicking a bit wondering if I needed to email the receipt to some other email address. Any input would be most appreciated . Thanks

If I were you, I'd also send the receipt immediately by courier (Dhl,ups,fedex). Just to be in safer side.

Has anyone here received any acknowledgement from their visa office after emailing them the RPRF receipt ? Do they do that or is no confirmation about RPRF the norm ?

CIC don't provide any acknowledgement of RPRF receipt. This is normal.

Pretty much after the AoR - the only acknowledgement you get with any email submissions to any processing office/visa office, is the auto-reply - if the VOs do send one back. This is inconsistent with each VO. And this is a canned message, and does not specifically state receipt of the documents you submitted, just that your message has been received. To some this is enough to serve as an acknowledgement, to others, simply not enough.

So to supplement this, submissions to any VO are recommended to be via courier with delivery tracking/signature receipts. The signature of who received the package becomes another proof of delivery - showing the submission did indeed reach and was signed for within the premises of the VO. If sending a scanned copy via email, supplement it with sending a copy of the document via courier/letter. 2 methods.

Confirmation of the payment will be when the charge is seen on your credit card or if it was a draft/check - ask your bank if the funds have been drawn and when.
