Hey everyone,
I have been waiting with a DM status for over a month now.


Anyways, I called the call center and learned that my letter was returned to the office and they re-sent it.
However, oddly, I received a 75$ cheque from the govt. The call center has no idea what it is.

Any ideas? Can it be for rejecting my application? I believe they dont give refunds for refusals tho.

If its a cheque from government of canada. Its probably a GST refund. It will have letter with the cheque from CIC. If it is actually from CIC. You paid from a Credit card? Well than the refund will be given back on the credit card not by cheque.I am sure this has nothing to do with CIC.

There is $75 fee for Citizenship. $530 processing fee and $100 citizenship rights fee.
It can be one of million things. You need to look into description above the cheque and think where you could expect the check.

Did you pay $630 and then $75 additionally? I think $630 is all that had to be paid and that's why you got $75 back.
If that's not the case then it might be something else.

I am not sure if CIC cheques are different from Govt of Canada's cheques.

When you get the certificate for the first time when you become citizen that is free, if you lose it and you want another one, that is $75.

The question is how much did you pay in total when you submitted the app?
