It's different for everybody. I actually sent by the end of April, and they received it 1st or 2nd of May (I forgot). I saw it in my mail box on 20th of June (I check mail box everyday). My friend had her package being sent back in only 2 weeks, received by CIC in early April.redstone said:HI BLT,, can we pls get exact date of your file rcvd by Sydney in may ? so we can understand how long cic take to return application
