I was bit relieved with my BD encashed.. but this "complete application status" caused a MENTAL MAYHEM screwing up all of my brain cells..
So I did some digging ..
I am sharing some text from the CIC operational manual FSW- Updated August 2010
Procedure: Applications received at the CIO on or after June 26, 2010
7.1. Receiving the application at the CIO
Applicants are required to submit their complete application, including required supporting
documents, to the CIO. This includes all documents listed both on the CIO and visa-officespecific
document checklists. As of June 26, 2010, a valid official language test result from a
designated language testing agency must be submitted as part of the application.
Applications received at the CIO will first be reviewed for completeness pursuant to R10, including
the following required forms, fees, information and documents: IMM0008 etc..
7.2. Assessing applications against the Ministerial Instructions effective June 26, 2010
The CIO will assess the applicant’s submission as-is and make a final determination of eligibility
under the MI. To be eligible for processing, the applicant must meet all the criteria described in the
MI. If the application is eligible for processing, the applicant will be informed. Once processing has
begun, the cost recovery fee is no longer refundable.
Now out of all the post 26/6 applicants (esp. July & august lot).. I believe NONE (atleast on our forum) have received any correspondence
from CIO regarding Eligibility for processing. So what are these 2226 complete applications..?
7.3. Applications that meet the criteria of the Ministerial Instructions effective June 26, 2010
If the application is determined to meet the criteria of the MI and to be eligible for processing, the
CIO will proceed to processing the application against the FSW minimal requirements and the
cost recovery fee is no longer refundable.
If the application is determined not to meet the criteria of the MI and is not eligible for processing,
the CIO will make a final negative determination of eligibility for processing, inform the applicant
and initiate a refund.
Cheers !!
