Thanks, kollins!!!!! My application for NOC 0111 was received on May 7th 2014 at 1:57 PM by Mike. This is the same lot in which many other applications have been received. My payment was made by DD.
Actually I have openly shared about my reference letter not being on company letter head, and brother Century had guided me on what cover letter I should send. Ashif had initially suggested to send the cover letter, instead of losing sleep over not sending it. But until now I did not know if my reference letter, despite not being on company letter head, will get accepted or not.
I am still in a denial state (that happens when you file has returned for cap full on 2 previous years LOL), until I get my PER e-mail, for which I will have to wait for what 15-20 odd days as per our stats guru's (dmitrych) analysis this morning.
