Sponsoring Parents in 2015

[AndreyU]

I sent by purolator. They did not send me confirmation email until i called them. Email received from purolator at 4:46pm. Time delivered 13:29 signed by some Stephanie. I am going crazy here checking my application and cc. I called CIC so many times. they dont even go in system to check and outright say we dont have any info on parents app yet.

they first gave some info. now processing center shut them up. this proves that something is wrong in the way they handle papers. probably their system is updated weekly, so they might be angry because you call every day and they record every call.

I want to ask all morning purolator delivery people. I called purolator and they told me that there was long waiting in the morning but afternoon deliveries were smooth and there was no waiting. Did people get charged extra who sent in the morning via purolator? That will confirm that the time they delivered the package is the correct time they are reporting to me.

Screech, would you think the same about my case? My application was part of the Purolator batch that go there at "8.45am". It has been assessed complete, but I paid by certified cheque My partners application was in the same batch, and she got CC charged so did most others in the Purolator batch.

Thoughts?

If your partner's cc got charged and assuming yours was in front of your partners or behind, it can be a safe assumption that yours got accepted as well. Like I said "a safe assumption". I can only assume this until you get confirmation from bank that it actually got deposited in CiC's account.

Whooooooooooooooooooh

Hi All,

I am that 10:47 AM Jan 2nd batch of applicants. My Credit card available amount has gone down by CIC fees ( $1100). Though i don't see that posted yet, I feel happy that hopefully I made it.

I also see other UPS 10:47 Jan 2nd applicants responding that their CCs are charged. Feeling good now.

I think we have to wait and watch .....

Did you give your UCI number? Thats how they track the application.

For morning deliveries time is wrong. of course they charged maximum rate for 9AM service. and put wrong time on confirmation so that people didn't ask for refund. i am not sure about afternoon...

For those whose app was delivered on Jan 2 and 5, I think the reason why CIC agents do not tell if your app is complete is because they are not allowed at the moment to talk about anything about the status of app, as they received too many calls these days. What we can do is either keep calling to see if a "kind-hearted" agent will help or wait and see.

CIC received my app on Jan 2 11:33am by FedEx. No cc charge yet.

After reading some posts about the process time, what frustrates me most now is the LONG wait time. My parents are in their 70's....

I have not seen my CC account as many times in the past 7 years as i have seen in past 7 days. Now its so into my second nature that once (hopefully) my CC is charged, i would miss looking into my CC account... . But i do want it to happen sooner than later. And for all of us.
I m in Jan 02 Fedex 11:33 class...

When was just charged? Yesterday or today? Congrats man. Happy for you. Mine didn't charge yet.

Your application can be completed but it doesn't mean you are in the cap until you get a CC charge. There has been cases applications were returned despite being complete but couldn't get credit card charge to go through.

So unless you used a certified cheque and able to confirm with bank that it has been deposited will you know for sure that you are in the cap.

I was told that my file is in the "complete" pool. The way I look at it is that they probably open packages to verify the completeness, and put the complete ones in a pile. They will stop receiving new applications once they get 5000 complete ones. They may put more than 5000 in the complete pile in case some payment can't go through. Unless you are in the "extra, just incase" ones, as long as your payment can go through, you are relatively safe. they probably will continue to process payment in the coming weeks. I hope my CC get charged soon.

My package arrived at CIC at 2:35PM Jan 2 via Purolator same day service. My cc charge got posted this morning, and the charge was made on 20th.

Good luck everyone!

Hi Gupta.rk!

Even they confirmed you that yours is a complete application, Have been your credit card charged or your certified cheque cashed? . My question is because for your time my app should be close than the yours ( arrived January 5th by 11 am, right?)

Thanks a lot for your answer!

No, my CC has not yet been charged, i was just speculating with a satire on my poor situation imagining what would happen when it will be charged....
