Jigzzy - I checked google maps where exactly this Sydney, NS is and looks like its in middle of nowhere. I live in USA (right next door to canada) and the best FEDEX or US mail could reach there was in 3-5 business days. UPS helped in getting the package delivered in 2-3 days. I just see that this place is so remote and may be once a year, it gets flooded with applications! :-)

Exactly. I got a quote from UPS, and it quoted next tuesday, DHL / FedEx both quotes the same dates [i.e., Friday], so I selected FedEx. Lets hope it does not cost me my application. :s
 
Funny thing is, it took 2 Days to travel the whole freaking world, and 3 days just to reach its destination with in the country. ;D
 
Who will be the lucky first one to tell us from the tracker sheet that his Credit card is charged?

Guys, Make this interesting.

Ha ha ha. I know man. Now I keep checking my account online for CC charge.
I know its nail biting situation but it is also adrenaline rush 24 x 7.

I believe early next week we will have some idea.

I do not think CIC will do any charges this fast. They need to verify the documents and only if satisfied, they will charge so i guess by end of next week we may have some idea :-) Remember they said for Money orders/DDs etc, they should be valid for atleast 30-60 days.. so it may even take end of this month to get to know it.
 
pls update 2174 status preparing application

In previous application, it took an average of 3 - 4 weeks to charge CC based on timelines tracked. But that was when lots of applications were received, bar code not used, and backlogs.

I suspect this year will be simply straight and early. I expect this to be done in 2-3 weeks. Note: they committed to faster processing which starts with this.

It is mentioned somewhere in the CIC site that, if VO thinks you are not eligible then they will refund the fees.
Does that mean first they will charge and then they will see your application?
 
Has anybody heard from CIC yet? How is the process, basically? Do we expect to get a notification from them first (with some number/ID) and then they charge the CC? How did this happen in the previous years?
