No, in terms of timeline it doesn't matter. Yet if credit card (CC) is used you can see if it has been charged by CIC (which usually happens earlier) and expect your PER. But in your case I assume it was a bank draft.
Since you use a representative, what are the contact details you've given to CIC in your application? Could it be that your lawyer had heard from CIC already but didn't inform you for any reason?
Definitely no! I am in contact but nothing really going on with my application! Did you apply for the NOC 0711?
How it works? Sending them docs early and lots of people recived their PER even sending their applications later than me. Can not understand the logic of The CIC works.
