If they cashed the cheque, they have your application. You should always send the application by recorded delivery so if there are any questions you can prove that it was delivered and signed for.

hi,

i have sent it by fedex and i do have copies of the signature and the name of the person who signed it.
but what confuses me is the cashing process, i got the bank draft from the bank on 11 may 2008 and on that date exactly its been deducted from my account, but i sent the bank deaft with the application on 20th of may 2008, now what is the indication that the "receiver general for canada" cashed that bank draft ?

thankx

no, it just shows the bank took the money out of your account that day, you should be able to trace the bank draft to see if it has been cashed through your bank.

By looks of the email from london office

1. It seems they are receiving alot of applications and acknowledging the applications is becoming heavy for them to cope with other things. So they are tryig to stream line things by you getting rest assured that they have your application. I would advise you to write to your bank asking them if the bank draft has been cashed by receiver general or if the money has been wired to their account. If not you have upto 6 months to claim the money.

2. Track with fedex to check if the parcel was delivered to the cic office, and know the person who signed for it on receiving it at cic. make sure its actually on hard copy as your form of proof as sometimes you caannot prove if its just done by phone coversation.

After that then you can relax.

Good luck.

Martha.

Hello!

The only and the right course is for you to go to the bank and ask them whether the CIC have encashed the draft. Encashment of draft does not reflect in your bank statements.

Otherwise, wait for the communication from the High Commission. Have patience.
