There is no chance that a letter addressed to the RCMP was "lost" by Canada Post workers.

Ya, fair enough. I've just been reading posts from people who said that their application was received a week after they mailed it... and it's been almost a month now and there's no way for me to see that it's actually been received and that the process has started.

People who know that their application was received have used certified mail that will alert them of delivery. It will take 2-3 months before your CC is charged and your application is available online. If you've used regular mail it is just a waiting game until then.

Gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. I didn't use certified mail. Maybe I should have. I guess I'll just keep an eye on my credit card and hope it gets charged in another month or two.
