Hi Bagelbagel

I'm outland, VO sydney, sent by courier from New Zealand.
Cheers
Good luck with your App!

Awesome marcopolean and figgy. More Sydney folk! Hopefully we will all get through the stages without too much drama...
I am trying to figure out how to pass the time without getting too obsessed with waiting times and what I have sent! I know for a fact my head in the photos is way too big!! Hopefully that's the only issue...

I asked this earlier, however I don't think anyone is onto it yet.
Would volunteer, but am terrible with spreadsheets....

Might take a look anyway to see if it will be hard to figure out... ;)

Welcome Shylox!

Ok all, I took a look at the "google documents" spreadsheet that other months have been using and broke out into a cold sweat....

I would hate for people to rely on me to look after the baby n case I do something crazy and delete important stuff1 :(

Anyone else know how the spreadsheet system works?

Note to anyone sending they're files to Canada. Do not buy extra insurance through your courier. I did and now it's stuck in customs. I've had to write a special note describing what's in the package and why I bought extra insurance(to cover all my extra costs incase they lost the package)so they will release it to the DHL broker. What a pain! It's been 6 days now and I have security checks from Mexico that need to be seen by CIC within 30 days from the time they were issued. We're doing an outland from Costa Rica through Mexico as my spouse is Mexican.

It's really simple, I'm a dummy at it too. I just looked at other people's spreadsheets and figured it out :) If anyone starts one, let me know, I'll add it to the spreadsheet document in my signature :) Good luck July!!

No worries! Will take another look today and try to get over my fear of spreadsheets! I am a graphic designer by trade, so they go against my normal way of thinking ;)

K Parker, so I am going to give it a go....
I basically copied and saved over one of the other months. The link in the address bar is:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aqwqq_QZFst8dC16aERabElGNDZLWGEyQ2dWR0M3V1E

Not sure if that one works?


So let's start collaborating!!
Info needed:

• Visa Office
• Medicals Done
• Applications Sent
• Application Received by CIC

Ok so a little disclaimer: sorry in advance if the spreadsheet is a little disorganised - I am slowly learning!

Have updated that for you figgy.. I think I can change the preferences so other people can edit it - but it might start to get confusing... I pretty much access the forum every spare second, so am happy to edit it as soon as everyone gives me the details. :)
