Hi SMorn,SMron said:Hello,
I would appreciate any insight because the anxiety is reflecting on my physical well being.
I have managed to apply on December 15th 2014 for FSW, under Professional occupations in advertising, marketing and public relations (NOC 1123).
According to DHL, someone at the designated address (CIC in Nova Scotia) has received my file.
But since then I have received no confirmation or any sort of message from CIC or any other party regarding the status of my application. I am not even sure if they actually received it (although DHL has a signed reception report confirming it).
Any idea how can I follow it up? Should I be more patient? The cheque which I sent and my credit card are both not processed for the fee yet.
Does the lack of communication mean I failed?
Many Thanks
Last Saturday CIC was charging the 22nd December Applicants (We believe CIC is working on Saturdays now). Since you have sent 2 options to charge DD (i believe u mean by cheque is a DD) and Credit card they might have chosen your DD as the payment mode. That may be the reason why you still haven't got any update. Usually you can only know whether your DD is encased after 3 to 10 working days. If it's a CC the bank will send you a sms immediately (depending on the bank your card issued) .
Anyway, my above explanation is true provided that your NOC is not capped.
We have a December applicants time line thread. Please come there and read through the posts there from the beginning, you will be able to gather loads of valuable knowledge.

And please update your details on the global Spread Sheet which will benefit both you and other applicants also.
Hope I managed to help you with your doubts
