They will only accept the letter if it was on professional letterhead, and do not accept personal contracts. They have to be through a company...

Here is the fax number I used 905-944-6400 and the number I called to follow up with it was the pro number... 1-877-553-5536.

Fax your application in it takes them about a half hour for them to recieve it so wait about an hour to call and check on it. Do call and check on sometimes they need you to darken your id resend the fax so make sure they receive the complete fax I had to refax mine pry 3 times but in the end it was worth it my proofs were accepted and I was approved.

Sometimes you will get a less than polite representative that wants to know why yours faxing your information. I told them I obtained their fax number off of an old application and then they forwarded me to the department that receives faxes.

I sent mine in on MLK which was a family holiday so I called tuesday to check on it they didnt receive so I refaxed it checked on it they asked me to send in a darker copy of my ID which I refaxed again they then told me they didnt receive my complete fax I refaxed called that following day and I had a really nice rep who told me we received it you will receive you hard in 2-3 weeks I got my card today so it didnt take long at all.

Okay thanks, darn then I will probably get denied because the letter I sent was on a professional letterhead, although the contract was my personal contract and it was on my company letterhead.

I sent in my contract on my company letterhead but I also sent in 2 letters of refferance from events I did also my flyer and business card.

Okay well I guess I should just wait and see what happens. Along with the client letter and my company contract I also sent a business card. If someone had been denied how long did it take to be notified you were denied??? Is there a "difference" in sending the info to the office in NY OR the Canada office ???

I sent in a reference letter from a client, my business card and contract on company letter head to the Canada office and was denied in about a month. I didn't receive a call or email it was just mailed back to me saying personal references couldn't be used. Although because I'm freelance I don't do photo shoots or magazines or what not so I'm kind of stuck. I usually do bridal parties, grad/prom and random special events (birthdays, new years etc.) I usually work for random personal contacts that contact me via business card so no one professional yet. I do have professional pictures of a few brides I could do up a business flyer if that would help?

Was the contract YOUR'S or was it a contract someone gave you for a job you completed???

I have the Pro belt and believe me, it isn't the easiest thing to use. The strap is short so you have to wear it around your waist, unless you get it altered. I end up taking it off and leaning it on the wall because it makes me bend in a really awkward way to see the brushes. You can buy a mini easel and sit it on a countertop or table for more comfortability.

I don't know if anyone knows this, but if you order more than $150.00 on the Mac Pro website, you get free shipping and they don't charge any taxes....Needless to say I will be doing most of my shopping online to save money on taxes cause in my state taxes are set at 9%
