application fee becomes non-refundable on which stage?

[wpower]

Hi I am wondering in which stage the application fee will become non-refundable? After receiving PER, AOR? Or after medical exam?

Also how long approximately does it usually take to get to that stage where fees are not refundable?

Thank you in advance guys.

app fee is only refundable in initial stage, if cio finds it incomplete and an NER is issued. once u clear this stage
no refund can be claimed.

Thank you for the reply. My understanding is when a PER is issued the fee is not refundable, is this right?

Based on what I have read from this forum, seems the time PER is issued can be from about a couple weeks to a few months (for the PhD stream).

The refund will be given only if the application is incomplete or the cap is reached; once they deem the application is complete and they start assessing for eligibility they wont refund the fee even if the application is rejected (NER).
