I totally agree with you. It should be some way to know if our applications are received by CIC (they should confirm that for us, not by mail tracking only online) or not to avoid any delay...asaif said:Unfortunately, it is very possible. This is exactly what worries me: the application is mailed back and arrives late or lost in the way. I don't care much what happens after the AOR. Whether my application takes 6 months or a year is not a big issue. I'm not going anywhere soon. I just want to avoid the 4/6 rule which will make me ineligible to apply for another year and a half.
