Your lock in date is the date your application was received .....in conjunction with the date you were charged are the two most important date even though there are exceptions.
Your PERS date is more of notification,informational and documentation purposes.
Will update the SS as soon as possible with your new details.
Cheers.

Hello kollins,
you stated Your lock in date is the date your application was received .....in conjunction with the date you were charged are the two most important date. I just went through the PER letter and noticed the letter was dated 6th of February. It also stated that acknowledgement of payment receipt is 14th of January. application was received on the 12 th of December 2013.
Please which of these dats are relevant or can be used as lockin dates?

Thank you for this update. Some of us have friends and families that applied in 2014. So we need this info to follow up.

There is obviously something wrong with someone that can not click on 2014 thread or even CIC site to follow up for his brother or friend. If I need info on any topic I click on that thread. The society we are desiring to move to strives on orderliness and that is why things seem to be be working. We dont justify disorderliness just because we want to look good.

Gandalf, you have to take things easy my dear, There's no harm in someone updating us on 2014 applicants. I personally don't have anyone in that year but doesn't mean I have to be cruel about it. We are all a big family and a lot of us have answered questions from 2014 applicant. Doing that doesn't deter us from our focus. Sometimes we hardly have any update so hearing from another set isn't such a terrible thing. U can nicely refer them to the link for 2014 rather than being harsh. Let's all be our brothers keepers.
One love bro.

12th December,2013 is your lock in date.
The Local visa office will now use the payment encashment date to determine the true position of applicant at their discretion.
The first priority is your lock in date......
For some of us,we have three lock-in dates since I submitted twice before the third one was positive.
For me,I picked the latest date as my lock in date but Accra may decide to use the first date ......
Cheers.

To clear any doubts about lock-in date,use your Universal Client Identifier number to check your status on their website,you will find the date they entered as date of receipt of application•That is your lock in date•

Your PER date is the date you receive the GOLDEN LETTER that welcomes you to the world of positivity•That is what some people call Nomination date

So,whichever date you find on your status is your lock in date that talks about date of receipt•

Please people that got draft from gtb how much commission do they charge?

About $40.
Cheers.

Y'all will have to forgive me, for I have been a very silent follower of this thread since the past several days, perhaps beginning to count in weeks. But I couldn't just keep staying silent after just reading that some of us are overpaying GTB to get the FX draft.

Maybe, charges for customers that make the FX request in person are different, I don't know. But if you use GTB internet banking to make the FX draft request, "Details of Charges per (transaction) - Commission: 1% of Transaction (subject to a minimum of 10 units of the currency), VAT: 5% of Commission. Please Note: Request received before 2pm will be treated same day, while those received after 2pm will be treated next working day."

I copied that directly from my GTB internet banking page and having raised FX drafts in the past, I can confirm that this is accurate.

So for example, if you are raising the RPR fee draft in USD (advisable, cheaper for you than raising it in CAD due to bank's exchange rate) for you and your spouse ONLY, the amount on the draft would be USD $900 and the charge would be $10 since the $10 is higher than 1% of $900. There will also be a 5% vat on the $10, so your total charge is $10.5.

Another beauty of using internet banking to make the request is also the fact that you don't have to go to Oyin Jolayemi, VI (branch where draft is made) to pick up your draft. They can dispatch it to any branch of your choice (selected from a drop-down button on the internet banking draft request page), assuming you have a few days to spare. It is your choice if you want to go to Oyin Jolayemi (you'll be able to collect immediately), but I just thought you should also know that you don't have to if you still have a whole week before you submit your documents to AVO. The draft can be dispatched to that branch close to your office/house and you just walk in and pick it up.
