I can see clearly by looking at the spreadsheet that those with DD has a longer wait time (no secret now, of course) but I think the more important fact is that those with New Delhi, India and has DD as the payment options are worse affected. The reason may be some banking process (safety net) that Indian bank might be using to give the clear signal to the bank in Canada.

With my own experience anytime I deposit a foreign currency cheque or DD in my account it takes the longest time in the world to clear in my account. I once asked my bank manager and he said RBI guidelines is one of the reason for that. It is my wild guess that those who will even get the response might have their DD made from some private bank in Delhi. Those like me who got it from Nationalized bank might be the last to know about the DD.

I wish I had given a CC as an option or as someone smart guy used the Debit Card as option. >:(

The great divide between CC and DD is growing........Help me god.

Is your dd payable to an Indian Bank in India or a bank in Canada? Like my Standard Chartered Foreign Currency Draft was payable to Royal Bank of Canada in Toronto. My DD was encashed on July 2 according to PER and bank got the info around July 5 [though never communicated to me].

EDIT: The ultimate money Receiver General for Canada account got from Standard Chartered's US branch [Bank Manager told me that] instead of the bank here in Pakistan. So maybe that is why it was cleared within 4 working days [US Standard Hold Time] instead of 14 days [International Hold Time].

The one thing I didn't get on the generic form was the fact that the questions asking for your last travel dates to Canada where shaded grey. I chose to print the document and write by hand the relevant date and port of entry.

Oh, I understood that if you selected your current address being in Canada, then those questions weren't shaded. They'd want to know when did we enter Canada and in what status. Rest of the history would come in the travel form.

Mine was drawn at RBC branch at King Street, Toronto. So New Delhi-Toronto-Nova Scotia. and back to NovaScotia-Toronto-New Delhi.

Looks like an airline route. ;D. Guys I am talking of the DD route not an air route ;D

Just received the PER email from CIC. Also includes my UCI to check further status.

Admins, can you please update the spreadsheet?

Thanks
 
Jigzy, Islandbabe and the others,

Good day everyone.

I'm quite worried because I received a letter from WES last night. Please read the content below and have your assessment about it,

CIC is not a Recipient of your WES Evaluation Report – Ref #

In order for Citizenship and Immigration Canada to process your application, they will need to review your evaluation report through using WES’s online service. In order to allow CIC to access this service, you will need to order a duplicate report and select CIC as a recipient of your WES evaluation report.

Please order a Duplicate Report as soon as possible by visiting https://www.wes.org/ca/apply/xcopycic.asp?

In order to expedite your order, we encourage you to pay by a credit card. Cheque or Wire Transfer payments will take longer to process and will delay your order.

Best regards,
WES-Canada Customer Service Department

<<<--- the letter was sent around 8pm in my country and I just realized that i had it at 12 midnight, so what I did is process another fee for WES so that CiC can view my 'Credentials' online. I was quite worried if the sealed envelope that I sent from WES is not enough for me to pass CIC requirements and that they really need to view my application online or from WES website, itself. I am not sure it was mentioned as part of their requirements. I was also thinking they are trying to access it online and will return my application because they can't do it. Please educate me about this. I badly need your opinion. I will wait for it.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Loofy, do you get notification from bank on July 11th when your CC was charged? Or do you mean you don't realize it was charged until you got PER?
 
I'm soooooo happy that I got my cc charged today at 00:55 (timezone +8) with 1250$. Finally moved on to May 17th applicants. Looking forwards to my PER now! :)

Hello Qiushuimomo, do you mind to share which bank do you use for CC charge?
