Hi Augustians,
Congratulations fabioadias! That's fast wow
I got something like an "update" on my FSW 2014 application yesterday. A short letter from CIO informing me that I've paid 40 CAD extra through the demand draft and they will refund it in 16 weeks time.
The bank made too many mistakes when issuing the DD, I made them redo it 3 times. When finally they got the beneficiary's name correctly, I was so happy that missed to check the payment amount
The letter came by snail mail. It is dated 31 December 2014. I hope this letter means that my application has passed the eligibility review i.e. the visa fee will not be refunded due to NER.
It is strange that CIO sent me a snail mail because they have my email ID and used it to send my application and UCI numbers.
I haven't received PER email yet. I wonder how many applicants got file transfer to VO without receiving PER emails?
