We apologize for ongoing technical difficulties with our forms. We are working to fix the problem and will provide an update once available.

Too many people/users must've overloaded the govt servers...guess cic was not ready for this....

I guess not. They should have been to be honest. A lot of people were upset by the previous rules and the extra wait. People are chomping at the bit.

While the actuall errors on the forms are really something that shouldn't have happened, it would be an utter waste of money if IRCC increased their Server Capacities just because of a run that will happen now and then won't happen for years to come. That would be Server Capacity that is paid for all year long although it's not needed.

Again, the errors about the forms are frustrating (the printing issue etc), but the server overload is just normal.

Moneris is processing payments for citizenship applications, and their sites have had difficulty too.

As "deployments" go, this could have been smoother.

Sort of, but in the same breath the way their stuff is set up (especially the calculator) effectively maximizes the load by ensuring there is a hit to the servers to validate every single entry one by one rather than doing more client side with server side validation at the end. I still have 40+ entries to add lol.
