VIZ Can anyone let me know how do they count the number of applications? Is it that all that have been sent would be counted, as I read that for some, they send it back for insufficient documents. Also the CIC says total number of complete applications. Will they check our file to see if it has complete documents, and then take it in, and this would be counted? And the ones with incomplete documents sent back?
Also, when do we receive a file number? Is it only after they encash the amount that they generate a file number for our application? How long is the wait to get a file number?
HI VIZ------the count the no of application they recieved...all sent are counted, then they will take 1-3 months to encash draft or charge the Credit card, after wards u r officially in the cap, till then you can just guess that you are in cap of 500.but no official confirmation. but when they encash, thats official proof that u r in 500. afterwards in 2-3 months they will review your file roughly & give you the File no. Once you got File no then the send to your embassy for further action. but if you fail in review for incomplete docs you get a mail for the your application is decline because of the .....reason. they will not refund your fees & nor they will send file back.
thats it, end of the applcation. if your cap is not reached 500, file same time again, otherwise wait for 1 year.
