Hi vpfsw,

I was exactly in the same situation as you.

My credit card was also used fraudulently and the card company stopped my card at around May 28th.
I asked my consultant in Canada for advice, and she called the CIC call center (1-888-242 2100). Their advice was to send an email with the new payment form with a new card number. But it was within the six weeks since my application reached to the CIC office, and my information has not registered to their database yet. So, they said they were not sure if this would work properly because it may be difficult to update my card information in the database. My consultant sent an email with new payment form, and also sent the same form via Fax. (however, the Fax No is not opened to public. It seems to be shared just within the consultants..)

However, we still don't expect my card information has been updated properly. So, in the meantime, i negotiated with my card company to reactivate my card. Fortunately, as it is clear the FSW fee will be charged from Canada, card company finally accepted to open the transactions only from Canada. Furthermore, they will compensate in case of any fraudulent transactions(it's important!!)

If you tell your card company about the country and name("Citizenship and Immigration Canada" or just "CIC") of the necessary transaction, i think they may be able to consider of any remedies. Because fraudulent use was not your fault!

I hope me experience will be of some help....

Hi koroa,
Wow thank you so much for sharing this experience. I do hope that eastwest bank has also that flexibility in their credit card features. Did CIO replied when your consultant emailed the new payment form? Please kindly reply.

The published numbers aren't complete in all terms as there are other NOCs (not mentioned in the update) whose app also got submitted around the same time to be eligible to be published in the update; 0211 for example.

It's a trick! CIC rolled a dice to cut down on flooding queries from around the world assuming that this should keep people stick-ied to the update page instead of giving calls. And to show to Mr. JK, "Sir, even though we are flooded with plentiful of apps from around the world, people sending missing documents every now and then and poking our @ ## with CAP update telephonic queries and (wishpers even though we and our international counterparts are underpaid), we managed to check a few apps to completeness and sir we published our first update and we won't be lazy this time around like those previous years."

Silly trick.....to no real benefit to any of us as of now ! But good to see they really charged a couple CCs.

hahaha !!! you can certainly be a good politician :P

Someone called the Customer Service Center earlier and was told that CIC is only going to update once the 5000 apps are received, which clearly is not the case anymore.

Website is already updated :)

Hmm at least I feel a little bit better about being right.....made no sense for them to only update after they had reached 5000, but if they only can count 26 so far, one has to wonder why they didn't post the update ealier. In any case I am just grateful in knowing that they are working and we are receiving some good news. Finally. Now I can truly say.............

HAPPY WAITING............ :)
 
Recent update on cic is a Lollypop given to us, to show that the guys at cic are working @ a spead of one app / day ;D , so dont call us and ask us about your application. We are working damn you.... :P

Well this is exactly derived from the Indian politics and looks like it's pretty much the same in first world nations. "Feed a few to mouthful and others will lay down mouth wide open."

And glad to share a common name Bro!
 
@ Stranger Friendly

Exactly my point!
 
Not to forget, previous working style of CIC, they only update once a week. So this update should be of week ending 10th May, which itself doesn't sound right.
well kudos to the CIC teams anywayz and keeping my fingers crossed.
