8:14am

Thanks for sharing your time line
At rate of 10 seconds reception of one item. 360 items in 1 hour
First day 2880 applications in 8 hours
That means cc charging for 2nd Jan will keep going for a 2 weeks based on CIC
processing 300 applications per day.( with 60% pass rate)

8-9 am : 9th Jan or 12th Jan
9-10 am : 13th Jan-14th Jan
10-11 am: 15th – 16th jan
12-1 pm: 19th -20th Jan
1-2 pm : 21-22nd Jan
3-4pm: 23rd-26th Jan

Then from 27th Jan: 05th Jan cases will starts . I may be wrong in my analysis.
Few next days will see how CIC is progressing in processing applications

So frustrating. The delay is frustrating. The promptness is equally frustrating. :-\

Guys is there anyone can create an Excel sheet for year 2015 and post here. I would love to do it, just running behind schedule.

I just have one question that can someone also sponsor their in-laws as well? ideally My wife should be eligible to sponsor their parents not me.
if anyone has sponsor their in-laws this year, please help so that i could do it next year

Yes your wife can be sponsor for her own parents, with you as co-sponsor.

Note that for her parent's application, you will need to add 2 to your family size for the 3 years prior. So if you already had family size of 4 (you + wife + your 2 parents), in her app you would have family size of 6 (+ her 2 parents).

You may want to be careful allowing others to edit the spreadsheet. It is best that you do a backup of spreadsheet often to be safe. There was a number of cases whereby an applicant royally screwed up the spreadsheet and couldn't undo the mistake.

okay I will try to backup this spreadsheet after every few days. Hopefully people will use it to edit diligently. It is for everyone benefit.

From my and other's experience it is a royal PITA having to redo the spreadsheet fixing someone else's honest major opps. There was no hard feelings towards the one that made the mistake and none taken. It was all a PITA to fix. LOL!! Just want to save yourself a possible trouble.

To those who also made bad decision by using Canada Post:

I received update today saying -
"Our tracking system indicates an 'out for delivery' scan for this item on: 2015/01/05.

Because the addressee is considered a large-volume mail receiver, we consider this scan as confirmation of final delivery. Accordingly, we will now proceed with closing the file.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience you may have been caused."

Then I called Canada Post looking for clarification. Basically, when Canada Post delivers large volume to a mail room, "out for delivery" is their final scan, and the time stamp is when they drop off the package. Once the mail room sorts things out, they do one more scan which updates the tracking as "delivered". However they may or may not do that last scan, not to mention signatures.

To summarize, consider the time stamp that your package went "out for delivery" as arrival time at CIC. Don't bother waiting for the signature. I'm apparently upset about their service but at this point, not much we can do. Keep fingers crossed and hope for the best. Good luck everyone.

Last year I send my application through Canada Post. The tracking system showed Out for Delivery on 6th Jan and after that it was never updated as delivered until Jan 08 When I received file number from CIC it stated that Application was received on Jan 06.

To summarize what you said is 100% correct, so do not worry, your document might have been delivered.
