Same here :-[narayanf1 said:My draft expired on 11th of July. :-[
I think you should not take chances. I always use a carrier like Fedex or DHL in cases like this. The regular mail usually has poor tracking and is more likely to make mistakes.cococly said:Received my AOR on July 12, finally
Please update the chart earlier in this thread accordingly. Thanks
BTW, I am a FSW outland, I have heard that CANADA POST was on strike? I might need to send them some extra documents, I plan to use my local postal service via CANADA POST to make the delivery. (Courier is charging 10 times more than my local postal service (Air Mail))
Didn't get my AoR yet. Current AoR date is 11-Jan, and my application was received on 15-Jan but I know that will be considered as 18-Jan.cococly said:Same here :-[
Have you got AOR yet?
What should we do? They asked me to provide a replacement bank draft to them.
Waiting for them to send it back will only delay the process. People who got AOR in late June are still waiting for their old drafts..cococly said:They said on the email, "We require you to please provide a replacement bank draft....In order for us to return your original fee payment, please confirm your mailing address by way of return email. We ... look forward to receiving the replacement fee as soon as possible."
I have sent a return email back to them to confirm my mailing address.
Should I wait for the old draft to be returned to me? or should I issue another CAD$1500 Bank draft right away? (old CAD$1500 to be returned + CAD $1500 for the new one)
Confused Confused :'(
I am Dec applicant, and was requested to send a new draft on 5 July. The OINP office received a new draft on 8 July and I still did not receive the old one. I understand, this blocks extra CAD1500 in my funds, but after 6 month of waiting for AOR I hate waiting for indefinite time to replace the DD.cococly said:They said on the email, "We require you to please provide a replacement bank draft....In order for us to return your original fee payment, please confirm your mailing address by way of return email.

Isn't it just 6 days since they received your new draft? And this includes 2 weekends. Let's hope those who received their old draft to reply here with after how many days they received it. That will give us an idea how quick/slow OINP is, in this case.kulyoma said:I am Dec applicant, and was requested to send a new draft on 5 July.

You are right, only 6 days. But I don't know when I get the old one. May be in another 6 days, may be in 2 weeks. I don't want my application have a status "on hold" even for two weeks.narayanf1 said:Isn't it just 6 days since they received your new draft? And this includes 2 weekends.

Some banks charge very nominal fees to extend(revalidate) the existing DD and some banks asks to get old dd cancelled and make new dd with new currency exchange rates.IOS9.2 said:Guys i have a question on this draft thingy, once the old draft has expired for the new one do we have to put in fresh funds i.e Cad 1500 or the same money can be used to make a fresh draft with a new expiry date ...
When you give the old DD back to the Banks, they will give you cheque of Indian rupees. The old process ends. The new DD is again a new process. In both cases the the prevailing exchange rates are considered and Bank commission is charged.IOS9.2 said:Guys i have a question on this draft thingy, once the old draft has expired for the new one do we have to put in fresh funds i.e Cad 1500 or the same money can be used to make a fresh draft with a new expiry date ...
