Stage 1 timeline

Hi Friends,
I applied under FSW category (NOC0213). I have sent my documents to NS in Canada during the first week of April 2010. But till today, my credit card is NOT charged with the initial application fee.
How many days it would take to debit my CREDIT CARD by CIC in NS?
How many days it would take to get the an update about my application recommendation / rejection from CIC in NS?

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Satyam

hi, i think it could take anytime between a month and two for your card to be charged.

some indian applicants have had their cards, issuesd in India declined/rejected ( search the forum, I have read it somewhere).
probably because the indian banks may have barred telephone authorisation. just my view.

this may not affect you, but just sharing what I had read here.
its always best to send a draft from the asian sub-continent

cheers

Thanks Maran1976, for the quick reply!! I applied from the US, so I hope there won't be any problem with Credit Card authorization.
