Hi Wayne,Cappuccino said:I think to be fair to CIC, Canada Post could be as much to blame as them, if not entirely to blame.
Doc manu's application reached CIC by courier, but CIC then returned the application by standard Canada post, and from there it disappeared into the void.
In the letter I helped to draft (I am unsure if we've sent this yet?) I suggested that part of the application process could include a returns fee. This fee would cover the cost of a professional courier to return your application if you are unsuccessful.
So basically
1) If your application is returned, the returns fee is maintained
2) If your application is eventually successful, then CIC refund this returns fee to you (although of course they keep the processing fee).
I think most people would pay $50 (a small amount compared with the rest of the application) to know that if their application was unsuccessful (could be for a tiny, rectifyable thing) that it would be returned to them safely instead of being lost in the seemingly infinite void of Canada Post....

I did not send the letter yet. It is still in a draft mode, and we see developments like NOC 1122 fill-up and certain publications on the CIC website. although not all our concerns are addressed, shall we wait to see which ones are clarified by next week, as development with the NOC 1122 is likely to be an indication of possible timing with AORs?
once clarity with AORs is there (or not), our letter will be more refined before it is sent.
thoughts?
