Hi,
I sent my application for skilled worker to Sydney, NS on 03/31/2009, and it was received there (with staff signature) on 04/02/2009, before the current instructions existing on their web site were posted.
I am a little bit surprised by the new instructions posted on the CIC website with the date 04/01/2009 because, during the last week, I checked a couple of times per day the CIC website to be sure there are no changes until my application has arrived there, and until Friday 04/03/2009 EOD, the CIC website wasn't changed at all. Today I see many changes on the CIC website, including the one related to processing fee paid only in CAD, and surprinsingly they are dated as 04/01/2009. I find quite strange to have changes posted retroactive on the CIC website.
The instructions I used to prepare my application were posted here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/EG7.pdf
I am pretty sure that the previous instructions regarding processing fees had three sections where they were explaining what would happen for under/exact/over payment, and for the last case they were saying that they would start processing the application, and also they would send you a refund. Now the last case has completelly dissapeared from the CIC instructions.
There were also posts on this forum that were saying that it's ok to send USD for processing fee, so I would really appreciate if somebody can confirm that this was ok before 04/01/2009.
Does somebody know how my application would be considered if I sent my processing fee in USD and I did not send the new form IMM 5612 as a cover page for my application?
If the processing fee in USD is an issue, is possible to send them a letter with a certified checque for 550 CAD before they reject my application and send it back? If yes, how I will get the 550 USD back from them?
Thank you,
Daria
