Hey guys,

My visa was rejected twice and I had applied for a refund from scotia bank on the 9th of December with all the required details in a PDF by email.

I did get the automated " we have received your application and due to high volume, you may experience delay" etc etc the standard mail.

Does refund take this long to process? or to even get the initial confirmation?

Please help. calling Canada is super expensive.

Thanks
ZAT

BTW i have a query.. like if u guys paid 6lachs (10000CAD*60INR) (acc to exchange rate at that time, and now excnage rate changed to Rs. 55 suppose). so how much refurn would u get? would u get 6 lach as u paid or will u get according to new exchange rate (10000CAD *INR55 i.e 550000???

i think we will get refund as per current rates i.e., INR 55. One of my friend sent his fee and GIC when exchange rate was INR 56 and got refund when rate was INR 60, so he gained nearby extra 1 lac rupees.

Thank you, SINGH_KING.

Is there anyone else who has gone through this?

So guys, this means, it is a pure gamble. with the current economic scenario and elections coming up her in india, our political unstability has a big role to play towards foreign exchange regulations. Already our trade deficit is killing us. Well, this could be a luck -luck situation where-in some1 is gaining or some1 losing to fluctuating CAD to INR rate.. All the best to all... lets pray we all get our visa.

Right said, Fred. It's a pure gamble. Keeping aside the risk of losing money due to fluctuating exchange rates (which is beyond anyone's control), what is more painful is that it takes ages to get back a simple refund (which ideally should not take more than a week or so, considering even the geography and everything else). This is nothing but a ploy on the part of the bank to make some "free" money, at our expense.
