For those who have to submit the application:
No one knows, when the cap will be filled try your level best to submit the application as soon as possible without compromising on accuracy and essential items. The reward is high (Tim Hortons, Maple Syrup, Niagra falls, 8th Highest per capita, visa free travel), while risk is low (few wasted hours and less than 1,000$). INVEST few hours in reviewing the forms. E.g. After filling each form, i asked my spouse to review the accuracy from docs (to avoid memory related errors). Once application was complete, i gave one set of forms and docs to 3 friends for careful review.
The good thing is that the lag time between application sent & review is 1 month. So, keep your hopes high till at least 70% of quota (CIC #s) is filled.
For those who have already submitted the application:
Anxiety is understandable, specially, as we keep on checking the forum for updates and sometimes get into "pessimism"/CIC induced headache. In my opinion, pessimistic discussions is inversely proportional to number of new queries (which are declining). Lets do something fun activities with our time to vent our anxiety, while we wait for the updates, such as IQ questions, riddles, sharing info abt Canada, (or just guessing time till next CC charging irrespective of the CAP) basically anything other than the CAP situation, (ONLY IF MODERATORs ALLOW - although i dont think that they will allow us to make it a playground) but i just killed my "anxiety" by suggesting this.
