Okay you're added Nice date for Medical 12/12/12 hehe!

Nice date indeed eh...!!


Just a little tip to eliminate the unsightly "41,296" and similar numbers:

As an example let's take cell F4, which is Kiri's # of days since app received.

Currently the formula for F4 is:
=TODAY()-E4

So you can try the following formula instead for F4:
=IF(E4="", "", TODAY()-E4)

Basically, it's an if statement which checks whether E4 is empty as follows:

If E4 is empty: the formula will return a blank on F4 (instead of a weird number such as "41,296")

If there's a date on E4: the formula calculates the number of days since app received.


Then you'll just need to copy the formula to the whole column F.


The same principal also works for columns H and J

 

[amikety]

I really know nothing about the spreadsheet - I didn't even make it

I have no idea how to apply your formula - I looked, but can't find where it goes.

It's a small miracle I haven't deleted the whole thing yet.

thanks - Somehow I tried that before but must have gotten something wrong because could not make it work, but now I changed it in the spreadsheet, and it should be working - and it only reads blank and not weird number anymore...

Amikety - nothing changed for you, I modified the spreadsheet's formula but you can keep on filling the dates etc. also added the formula for GulzarND so it calculates automatically - good job at updating it!
thanks,

[Kiri]

Yes I'm super happy. Especially after checking out the CPP-Ottawa sheet and seeing that 19 days for AOR is rather rare. I'm seeing 25+ days (with average of 40something/50something). Hopefully this is a good sign for us!

Congrats Kiri!

Was the AOR sent through (snail) mail or e-mail?

Email. My hubs forwarded it to me.

For those who are not sure what it might look like:

And after looking at the date.. does that mean the AOR is really the 4th.. ; Sweden, any idea why it says the date that it physically arrived?

AOR is always by email, and approval can be either email or snail mail.

The date - 4th of January - is the date that your application was received in Mississauga, but they send you an acknowledgement of receipt today - they just confirm that you got your "place in the queue" system from the 4th of January... which is the important part because as long as it doesn't pass the date on the CIC website (the updated part every wednesday) you can not call them to ask about it. However, in your case it probably won't be necessary because most likely you'll get the approval before they get to January on their official website.
