Also, I have a journalist friend at CIBC.......I have let them know what's happened and they're looking into whether they pick it up as a story.

I'm in too. It's outrageous that they should lie to us. We understand that they may not have been able to meet their service levels that day but lying is totally unacceptable.

I just rang my CC company and there are no pending transactions unfortunately :( I also rang Purolator to try and get a bit more information about what actually happened. The agent kept insisting that my package was scanned and signed for by Stephanie Reid at 8.45am. Hard to believe. There are...

Nope, no sign of charges for me yet (also supposed 8.45am delivery with Purolator).

Woaaaa this is getting way out of hand. There is no way anyone can tell yet if the cap is filled based on a handful of responses here. My guess is that CIC's methodology is not that accurate as to process each application exactly as it arrived to the minute. I imagine that they have a stack to...

Oh my goodness, that is dismal! Now I'm really regretting hedging my bets on Purolator. If they really did have 5,000 shipments and so did UPS, Fedex and Canada Post then that's 20k right there on the first day. Back to my original thoughts - this is a total lottery. Did the person who used...

Yes it looks like the Purolator packages haven't been touched yet. Have any of you with the supposed delivery of Purolator on Jan 2nd 8.45 spoken to Purolator to find out what the actual time of delivery was? Maybe we'll get some more insights into what the real time-date stamp was...... I know...

Mine sent by Purolator on 31st Dec, arrived at 8.45am on Jan 2nd - no CC yet......one of the few times I'm praying my credit card debt goes up! Please add me to the spreadsheet.

I used Purolator, $41 given to an agent near me on 31st and got notification that it was delivered at 8.45am on Jan 2nd. So assuming they time-date stamp them and deal with each by this stamp I'm hopeful I'll get in the cap......though of course I may have made mistakes. So does anyone know...

I just called Purolator who says the latest update they got is that the driver is in the line up. They can't contact him though as their pagers are in their vans. Just have to hope he's close to the front now. Crazy.

Which courier did you use? Might need to know for next time..:)

Mine is still "in transit" too with Purolator though it was supposed to be delivered at 9am and the last update was that it was on the vehicle for delivery at 7.57am........God knows what's going on down there. Looks like local courier was a good idea Nush!

Just wondering why you included the 'Use of Representative' form? Did you use an immigration lawyer or is this something standard that needs to be filled in regardless? I hope not! I didn't include it - I (and my husband as co-signer) are just applying to sponsor my mother. We did not use a...

The office opens from 8am doesn't it? So I booked mine for 9am delivery and wrote a note on it to say "Do NOT deliver before Jan 2nd...etc". This is what it says on the website: "CPC-M accepts deliveries from couriers between 8:00am and 4:00pm, Monday through Friday, except for statutory...

Well mine has gone off - I used an agent on the high st who says Purolator will be in to pick up around midday as the shop closes at 2pm. Who knows....total minefield! Curious, is anyone applying this year who applied last year and didn't get in or got rejected?

So you're going to send it using same day on the 2nd????

Right I'm off to the courier. You guys have been a tremendous help. Good luck to all of us in this crazy process ;D

Thanks - I'm assuming it's ok if I remove the staples (i.e don't have to reprint them)? Also, I printed them double sided. Is that ok? What did everyone else do?

Each of my forms is kept together using staples......how have you all decided to attach the forms or keep them together? Paper clips? I haven't come across anything that says "Do not staple them" but now wondering whether to remove the staples or not. I think the bar codes definitely have to...

I called Purolator too and it seemed to me like using the overnight service with Purolator - pick up on the 31st for delivery early morning on Jan 2nd seemed like the best bet. With the same day service, I was worried there may be a delay in pick-up. It would be interesting to have some insights...
