Applications submitted before Feb. 6th but only received on Feb 6th

[RussCan]

From what I have read on this forum, and have heard anecdotally, when an application deemed as incomplete gets to be returned its returned within 1.5 month max. Has anyone experienced a longer return period?

I called CIC agent and the best approach to handle this situation is to pay the difference to cover the fees balance, Resubmit new application with the old & new receipts and a letter describing that. The old application package will be returned in all cases.

We mailed my husband's application on Jan 31st and it was delivered on Feb 6th morning. We just received the application back today because of insufficient fee. I was hoping they will accept because it was mailed way before Feb 6th but they didn't. Anyone else here who got their file back because of this?

Today I received my old application (that was delivered to CIC on Feb 6) in my mailbox with a letter asking me to pay the balance and resubmit.
I already did that 4 days ago and the new application was delivered to CIC at 13 February

Hi Kelshaer. Did they put a red stamp on it?

 

[kelshaer]

Yes with received 6 february date

should we send the same application with previous sign date…etc or we should fill up new application form and sign it todays date as well as recent residence calculator print out…etc ?

I see kelshaer thanks. I will probably wait until they return it. I sent it on february 4th but they received it on february 7th. I assume i will receive the old application next week some day so once i receive, i will just add the fee difference receipt and send it back to CIC.

i would recommend that you wait until you hear back from CIC as well. This will remove any confussion in your file as well. Sending multiple applications is not a good way to have your application processed - lets be professionals here (my thoughts).

BTW which part of the file has red stamp indicating received date? Envelope or application form?

The application form also changed in February.
In my original application sent on the 4th and received on the 10th, the form I filled wasn't the February 2014 form.

If I get my application back with the red stamp. Should I resend the same application as is or should I fill out the February 2014 form?

What form are you talking about? I still see the September 2013 form online. Thanks

I just checked it. You are talking about the minors application. I think you better change the application form and fill it out again.
