[RobA.R.]

I just noticed my credit card has been charged by CIC for $550. Good sign indicating my application deems complete and has been accepted! Good luck y'al!

That is a great way to find out if your application has been accepted toward the 5000 cap. Those that paid the fee beforehand will not know until they get the AOR.

Unless CIC just takes the money off upfront, then analyzes the app for completeness, and returns the fee if app is returned. Wouldn't put it past the government to do it this way lol.

That's true. Speaking of which, aren't all fees only by certified cheques or credit cards. And when using credit cards, it can only be used online to pay the fees.

Am I correct?

hi screech,

with the new package, there is a payment form that allows you to input yiour CC number and expiry date for the payment to be processed. No Payment online is accepted.

Most definetely a positive sign for you , the first completeness is passed (meaning documents, forms and signatures complete). Your application is counted towards the cap.

When did your application reached CIC?

This approach make sense to me. CIC doesn't want to deal with reimbursing everyone that paid the fees online once the cap has been reached.

That is awesome. I checked my CC bill as soon as I see you post, still nothing. My application reached at CIC-M on Jan 3rd 8:21am by UPS. When did you apply or your application received?

Rob AR how come they only charge 550. It should be $75 sponsor plus $550 principle applicant?

Hi Shammil,

It is 75$ sponsor + 475$ principle applicant= 550$

Are they still accepting new applications?

I am a new PR and recently landed in Canada. In the requirements they stated that I need to have certain level of income during last 3 years. Does it have to be earned in Canada only? I worked in the US for last 3 years and earned more that what is stated in requirement. Am I eligible to sponsor my parents?

Only revenue taxed through Canada Revenue Agency.

If you meet Canadian income for 2014, 2015 and 2016, then you could possibly apply for your parents in 2018 (depending on rules at that time).

My package was received by CPC-M on Jan 6 first thing in the morning. Hope that helps.
