    No, I did not include the form and left all non-applicable checkboxes blank. How can you know this with certainty? I think you're making some wild guesses here. Besides, anything is better than doing nothing at all.

    Sorry to hear it :( I think it's CIC's mistake. Sounds like you did everything right. My speculation: how clearly did you write "n/a" on the checklist? Is it possible they mistook it for a "check"? If I were you I would call CIC immediately to explain the situation and mail them back the...

    My CC was finally charged today (the app is part of the UPS 10:47 batch on 2-Jan). What a relief..

    Maybe people have not been checking the forum lately... I think everyone is getting tired of this waiting game. + wasn't there one Jan-5 application that already made it?

    I can understand why many Canadians would be against immigrants' parents receiving free health care. But I agree with you that there needs to be a mechanism in place for us to get medical insurance for our parents. Obviously this will be very expensive but I would be willing to pay the cost just...

    You can create a petition online, for example similar to this one about Bill C-24: https://www.change.org/p/hon-chris-alexander-pc-mp-canadian-government-stop-bill-c-24-don-t-turn-millions-of-us-into-second-class-canadian-citizens And of course, you can write to your local MP. If you don't...

    So are you saying your card was charged or not?? I'm in the same batch waiting for the charge to come through. I don't see a charge date for you in the spreadsheet.

    Congrats Catherine! Great news. I wonder what's going on with the UPS 10:47 batch. Anyone in this batch had any news or called CIC??

    Congrats echo! Sounds like you're in the cap. That's great news. Hopefully we'll start seeing charges coming through for UPS apps.

    You're right. It might be an exaggeration to call it a "lottery". However luck still plays a big role here. Scenario 1: CIC receives 6000 fully completed, perfect applications on day 1. Let's say 3000 by courier + 3000 by regular mail. How will they pick the first 5000? Will they accept all...

    That makes sense. CIC cannot process applications by received time because of the apps that are sent by regular mail to the PO box. It really is a lottery as someone said before.

    Unbelievable. There are still so many 2-Jan apps that haven't been charged yet :o

    I'm pretty sure CIC agents are trained to differentiate applications from Quebec, so I wouldn't worry about it.. I know, easier said than done since we're all worried about every little thing in our applications :)

    Yeah, I remember your previous post about this.. that really sucks :( I do believe you and all other 5-Jan applicants will make it though. We can only wait and hope at this point...

    Good luck to all Purolator apps! Your time has come :) But dammit if UPS lied too. That's annoying..

    Why do you think UPS also has the wrong delivery time? (I'm assuming you're talking about the 10:47am batch)

    Sponsoring Parents in 2015

    Yes, there's a 10:47am batch. None of us had CC charged yet. Fingers crossed will be next couple of days. To everyone else, please don't respond to the speculating trolls with unconfirmed claims! Just ignore these posts.

    That's terrible. I'd be furious too >:( Is there any way to appeal the decision when something like this happens? Since it's their mistake, they should accept the application regardless of the cap.
