acknowledgement of application?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi guys, I have a quick question: When I mail in my application, is there be any sort of acknowledgement that they've received my application right away? Or is it going to be half a year before I hear from them for the first time? Do I have any way of knowing if they've received my stuff at all?Thanks!

	Thanks canvis2006. To be absolutely clear, there should be no correspondence from them for 6 months whatsoever, right?

	well, I would expect something within 5-6 months, it could be faster or slower depending on Sydney CPC. Only way you get confirmation of your application package reaching there is if you sent it through registered post, expresspost, or courier etc. Most people use Canada Post Xpresspost which gives you delivery notice, date and time application reached the CPC. Good Luck
