Hey!

So i mailed in my msfaa form like over 2 weeks ago but my osap still says estimate... anyone having the same issues???

I'm pretty sure you are not supposed to mail it, that's only for your other documents. with the msfaa you are supposed to take it to the post office.

Yes you bring it to the post office with your 2 government issued id's and they sign it for you and mail it right there

Yup you bring it to the post office to be mailed.

Anyways, you should probably talk to the SFAS and see how your application status is. For me, after they received my MSFAA, it said so on my status on the osap website and took about 2 weeks. So perhaps maybe wait a couple more days since it's only been 2 weeks. If you're really worried and need the money ASAP get in contact with SFAS to see what you can do. You'll still get your funding as long as all the paperwork is in before school ends so don't worry about that part.

Bring your msfaa to post office. Rest of signature docs go to Gilmour Hall. Also realize it takes time to process.

but those papers have some pretty personal info... that's weird that it has to be disclosed to a post office :S i mean they're seeing your address, sin, bank account info????

no, Canada post won't do anything with that info. You can also get a background check done at the post office.

Wait you personally mailed the MSFAA and you didn't do it at a post office and have the guy stamp it and stuff? You should read up on how to submit your MSFAA then. There's a link under supporting documents that explains it and I think one of the pages when you download your MSFAA is instructions as well.

I can kind of understand the concern with sin and bank account info, but I really don't think you have to worry about the ramifications of the post office seeing your address
But yeah, you were definitely supposed to go to one of the designated post offices. That could be the source of your problems. Check online to see if they've received your MSFAA.

Since when? What sort of background check are you referring to?

You can still mail it in yourself but you have to provide photocopies of your ID in the envelope you send it in (I can't remember what they were, but it should be SIN and Driver's License). It's also explained in the same link you're talking about.

WOW I can't believe i missed that document! Urggg... well interest it is now :| Thanks guys
