Canada - Time for Rebates

mabelair · 12-17-2007, 12:21 AM

Hey everyone,

I was curious to know how long people who had applied both to the Ontario Ministry of Revenue for the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Tax Rebate and the ecoAUTO Program had waited for their cheques to arrive in the mail?

I'll be dropping my forms in the mail first thing in the morning (and being aware that it's Christmas/New Years) and was wondering how long I should expect to wait? 4-6 weeks? ;-)

Thanks,

MAB

Finally got mine.... took about 3 months.

I bought my Prius in April 2007 - had to wait until about 1 October until the Feds even had an application form available !
I sent in my application 2 Oct, and received a letter to say they had received my application, dated 12 Oct.
I phoned them and they said it can take 8-10 weeks after the date of the confirming letter. It's now 11 weeks. I guess I'll phone again.
I wonder if they'll pay me interest backdated to April - ha ha.....
(I received my $2000 Quebec rebate months ago.)

Good luck on getting that interest. LOL. Talk about trying to bleed a stone. I expect it to take about 6-8 weeks, but based on other people's experiences, I could be in for a long haul.

I called the Feds again this week. They said to wait until the end of January, and then to call again if I haven't received it. That would make it 4 months after I sent in the application !
What a bunch of crooks. I'm sure if I owed them $2000 for so long they would have charged me all kind of penalties.

Winger, did you ever receive a confirmation letter before the cheque?

Thanks.

Received my rebate on 30 Jan, so took about 4 months from when I sent the application. (I bought the car in April 2007 and it took them 5 months to come up with an application form!)
I sent an e-mail to the Transport Minister complaining that they did not pay any interest.

I bet they get a good laugh out of that one. Maybe even print it out and post it on the wall.

I've sent in my ecoAUTO rebate application back in first week of Dec 2007. I haven't received any confirmation letter or cheques yet. I'm still waiting. Judging from other people's response in this email, I guess I still have a few more months to wait!
