FSW 2013 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[Vel_BG]

People here replied multiple times about this, and I have too, along with islandbabe that Spreadsheet is no longer available for everyone. Use the HTML version, also called Faster Version in my footer.

Most the questions are already answered here, you just need to focus

Excuse me, but how exactly did you decide who may have authorizations to DISPLAY the full online version of the spreadsheet and who may NOT, if Everybody here had their contribution to it? I am sorry to say it, but that so called "Fast version" is much slower to me. Also I personally prefered the original one, as I was able to sort and search ONLINE without the need of downloading the file locally etc. And also the html version does not run well on tablets and smartphones.
Overall I believe most of the members and contributors to the spreadsheet prefer the original version.
Finally, please DO NOT forget that this data does NOT belong to specific people but to EVERYBODY in this forum. Or else some might deem appropriate just to stop providing their info henceforth...

Hi Vel_BG.

I really have noticed that members miss the original format of the spreadsheet, and for this I do empathize with everyone. I created this chat and the spreadsheet so that everyone can share and be able to track each others timeline. The spreadsheet has almost 500 members and this number grows each day. It has become increasingly difficult to update the spreadsheet with up to 50 persons in the sheet each day doing various things. Hence in order to still update the spreadsheet in a timely manner and allow for a better user experience, the decision was taken to restrict access to the original and promote the options. The admins through their actions and hard "voluntary" work have proven that they are committed to the cause of this forum.

I suppose you are talking about Generic Form? That's fine. The form is validated, and does not allow any required fields empty. Any unrelated information is automatically disables, and you don't have to do anything about it.

Yes it is for this request form from another. If we take the example of Section 12 (Previous country of residence). In this section we have answered "no".
Shoud we have indicate "N.A." in the boxes "country" / "status" / "other" ... ?

I ask because we had not noticed this sentence in the guide when we have completing our request :
"Complete all sections. If a section does not apply to you, write “Not Applicable” or “NA”. If your application is incomplete it may be returned to you and this will delay the processing of your application."

They are applicable for those fields which are editable when filling the generic form. If they are disabled, then it's fine.

 

[islandbabe]

Thanks Floxzy.

The one thing I didn't get on the generic form was the fact that the questions asking for your last travel dates to Canada where shaded grey. I chose to print the document and write by hand the relevant date and port of entry.

They are applicable for those fields which are editable when filling the generic form. If they are disabled, then it's fine.

Good news awaits. Just a little more patience my friend

Thanks brother. I'm pretty convinced I'll hear news with the 23rd May applicants. Hope its positive and the cap hasn't topped

Ok, so we did not need to specify "NA" in the remaining cases ?

I can see clearly by looking at the spreadsheet that those with DD has a longer wait time (no secret now, of course) but I think the more important fact is that those with New Delhi, India and has DD as the payment options are worse affected. The reason may be some banking process (safety net) that Indian bank might be using to give the clear signal to the bank in Canada.

With my own experience anytime I deposit a foreign currency cheque or DD in my account it takes the longest time in the world to clear in my account. I once asked my bank manager and he said RBI guidelines is one of the reason for that. It is my wild guess that those who will even get the response might have their DD made from some private bank in Delhi. Those like me who got it from Nationalized bank might be the last to know about the DD.

I wish I had given a CC as an option or as someone smart guy used the Debit Card as option.

The great divide between CC and DD is growing........Help me god.

Thanks wishing you luck too!

It won't be the first time people are paying by DD to CIC from India so worry less. Besides people from this forum have seen their DD encashed already
