Thank you, bethanasame! This is very helpful.
bethanasame said:As far as I know this is the usual procedure.
1) You send the application - Post or delivery in person
2) The date your application is complete is taken as your application date ( Example, You sent your application and it reached on 20th February but your University transcripts reached on 22nd February, your application date is Feb 22nd)
3) The application is reviewed and a File Number is Generated - This is where you get the first communication - The officer who reviews the file requests additional documents, sends a receipt in mail.
4) If additional documents are not requested the application is reviewed by another officer in a weeks time and decision is reached
5) Nomination certificate is sent after a weeks time in Purolator
