MARCH 2015 OUTLAND APPLICATIONS

Jalex,

As an option, you could always just set up a secondary email for anonymity.

I am wondering if our March spreadsheet can be like the January one, saves a space for the new members to add-in themselves before moved into the columns of the members' info filled earlier so the already-filled ones can be protected just in case if anyone does not familiar with Excel and accidentally messed up?

yeah this will be good if admin of spreadsheet can do that

Hi any one from hyd ...who applied for pr card this year....

Welcome to the queue, DPParmar and AH2512. For the spreadsheet, what's our outland processing office and did you get a medical already?

While TRV while in the PR process are rare, it is possible:

Cheers, sorry for the late reply. We haven't rec SA yet, so unsure of processing applications. Meds were done 13th Feb 2015.

Jalex,

Why are there people that submitted their applications in February/April when it is a March spreadsheet?

I think that is confusing for people in March as we are trying to compare similar timelines and people going beyond the scope creates an artificial feeling of rush/delay.

Hope we can do something about it.

I agree with you.
I won't update my info on March spreadsheet anymore, only in2015 Outland one.
We try to help each other and some people are trying to messing things.

How long did it take everyone to receive confirmation that their package was received by CPC- Mississauga? My wife mailed our package on March 7th but we've yet to hear anything from the office or through online confirmation.

62 days as per cic website says.
No one from March received any news yet since they are finishing February applicants.

Jalex I was told to add my date to the March spread sheet so we did not have to start another. I submitted mine in March but it was received April 2nd. I am actually interested in seeing where the applications are before me but if it is bothering others I can remove my information. That's fine. I just thought this was a forum where we can all come together and support one another.

Hi Hnamson1,

March is a bit of an outlier as February and April have been using only the overall 2015 spreadsheet. Don't get discouraged.

62 days as per cic website says.
No one from March received any news yet since they are finishing February applicants.

To dive deeper into that number, 62 days was the wait period for applications as of April 7 (website says last update March 31, but 62 days after February 4 is April 7. This is an ongoing issue for a number of months). This number has been trending downwards since the Feb 11, and I expect the next update (probably on Thursday with information as of today) will drop the wait to around 55 days.

I'm going to make the prediction now that this weeks update will be processing Feb 19, and March 5 applications processing as of the end of April.

No one gets discouraged, but I know how people react when looking at other months coming up with theories about "why CIC does this". With accurate track people get anxious, if we start messing things up what started as "let's be nice" becomes a "f* lazy CIC". So better keep it in orderly fashion.

Jalex I was told to add my date to the March spread sheet so we did not have to start another. I submitted mine in March but it was received April 2nd.

Whoever said that gave you a bad advice. You should have started an April spreadsheet to help people starting their process in April to keep track of everything.

I am actually interested in seeing where the applications are before me but if it is bothering others I can remove my information. That's fine.

For seeing you don't need to edit it. You are more than welcome to interact with all months in all years.

That's fine. I just thought this was a forum where we can all come together and support one another.

We all can, just don't mess up things.

If you're right and I think you are, I'll be 13 days from my aor.
It's so close. My VO is são Paulo, Brazil and they are doing the whole process in about 20 days. It makes me excited as hell!
