Demand Draft cashed?

[rand00m]

Application Filed: 29 Oct 2010
IELTS Exam Date: 04 Dec 2010
Bank draft cashed 30 Dec 2010

I had not sent my IELTS result instead send a written letter explaining proof of language. I later learned that it is compulsory to send an IELTS test score. I was advised by email support to send another application package. I got all the paper work ready for a 2nd application. I just got to know from my bank that the draft was cashed out on 30 Dec 2010.

1. I am wondering if I should even send in another application ?
2. Is it possible that they cash my bank draft, return my application package and ask me to resend it with the IELTS test score (and pay again)?

Thanks

Wait for your AOR or the return of your application to decide the next steps. Sometimes they return with instructions to resubmit.

2. Is it possible that they cash my bank draft, return my application package and ask me to resend it with the IELTS test score (and pay again)?

Yes, it is possible. You won't have to pay twice. If you have to re-apply, you SHOULD get a refund (you might have to ask for it, and it can take several months).

The only reason I am in a hurry is because my work permit expires in Nov 2011. I am already sitting at the edge of my seat thinking about it not coming in on time. It is just a little unusual to hear that they send back application if there are missing documents and here they just cash the draft. Most of the current cases with regards to IELTS have been return of the application package.

This is the reply that I got back from email support.

Wow, 7 months just for an AOR. Is that an official reply from CIC?

September is the month that is being checked now. I should be receiving my AOR by the end of this month hopefully or mid March.
