I hear you! I have been applying since 2019 or 18 it was that year when they tried first come first served bases. I can never ever forgive myself as was gonna make the cut but missed by a few seconds! it haunts my till today and I think it will for a very very very long time. And the reason behind getting a few seconds late - the file names had underscores and the system threw an error, had to rename the files on the fly(not a big thing but it mattered) and also made a mistake of re-reading the entries to ensure that there is no typo!!t
Haha, you guys reminded such a painful memory of FCFS. I can't forgive myself for that, my mom would have been a citizen by now if things would have went well then. I made people who weren't interested in PGP PR's, helped them prepare documentation before the D Day. they all got, their PR's and their parents are now in Canada almost on the verge of getting citizenship now.
Why I didn't get? I planned well that I would apply from office (didn't have great internet speed those days at home) and its turns 11 AM CST, the page doesn't refresh with the apply button. The firewall/VPN Proxy cache doesn't refresh and it took 15 mins to get that page. If only I would have applied from home, if only.....and now we just keep waiting and self doubting. With all the spam emails we get, we don't even have the confidence we didnt' miss this important email.
