Hi all,
First of all I would like to share the great news that I got my Australia PR grant yesterday, I have applied for both Aus and Canada parallel in Nov'2009, and Aus wins, also I got the following reply from CHC London regarding Refund of application fees;
"Thank you for your enquiry.
Your documents are on file.
CIC is working closely to manage arrivals in Canada, so that we meet, but do not exceed the immigration plan set by Parliament last fall for 2011. Since we have larger inventories of applications than limits within the immigration plan for admissions to Canada, we must process applications according to the priorities set by Parliament. As we have a sufficient number of applications in our high priority categories, we are not in a position to process your application at this time, nor can we predict when processing on your application will resume.
However if you wish to withdraw your application, we will advise to see the following:
Please be advised that in order to withdraw an application, the applicant must submit a signed written request to our office clearly indicating the request and reason for withdrawal. The letter must be sent to the address below. Please ensure that the file number, applicant’s name and date of birth are clearly indicated on the correspondence, as well as the current mailing address including the postal code or P.O. Box number. If we do not receive a written request to withdraw the application, it will continue to be processed.
If your application has passed the paper screening stage you do not qualify for a refund of the processing fees.
However, if the landing fee has been paid, it will be refunded to you. Please be advised that the refund may take up to 6 months to process. Please be patient during this time.
Any application forms and photocopied documents used for the purpose of filing the application will not returned and will be retained on file. All original documents will be returned to the applicant, except for the police certificates
Thank you for your cooperation,
Yours sincerely,

So looking to my timeline can any one guess about my applicant status with respect to paper screening, my current E-cas status is In-processing with RBVO details.
