That's crazy. I had no idea courier companies can charge for waiting in line. You learn something new every day...jhutti said:
Will the cap be filled today? It's just guesses but what you guys think? :'(scylla said:
I will hate BMO for life. They assured me money order is the same as certified cheque.
Highly doubt it... but who really knows. Even just getting 500 apps today could cause massive lineups for courier companies if only 1 person is receiving everything.civic said:
The first hurdle is getting into the 5000 cap. Not sure how they assess completeness, but I'm sure there will be applications rejected. In which case you still have a chance. They might take up to a week to actually go through all the applications received. Until I get some sort of confirmation from CIC that my application is complete I am still a nervous wreck!!!civic said:
FYI - last year it took around 5-6 months for CIC to contact applicants and confirm their applications had been accepted as part of the cap.nush78l said:
Last year for many people, the first indication their app was accepted was seeing their credit card charged.
Then how can they announce in 2-3 weeks that the cap has been filled if they take that long to confirm completeness???scylla said:
Doesn't make any sense. Unless, 5000 applications actually don't get processed. It might be 5000 cap just from initial assessment and then further filtering done by thorough assessment. Which means only about 2000 get actually processed per annual intake.
Bank draft , certified cheque & money order, all are fine. To check financial capability ,income tax return are received. In fact credit card payment means you are in debt. Do not worry.civic said:
If you see their another version of fee payment meant for PR, it says all three words. The version of form that we are using may not have written the same. It is okay.
Chinese forum said about 60 couriers lining up each with tens of package so the multiplication results in thousands app for today.Rob_TO said:
Not sure how true that is but usually major couriers deliver by noon, some of them & Canada Post by 4pm.
I hope there will still quota for Monday delivery. Fedex was able to pull back my wrong package from CPC-M mailroom. I dont want to take 2 spots in the quota one today one on Monday. Glad that Fedex was able to help. To me they are the most trusted.
Hi All,
I sent my application through UPS from Toronto.
The UPS guy asked me whether i am interested in 8.30AM delivery for $57. I was little hesitant because he mentioned that if the door is not open, then they will try before evening one more time... I thought that is risky.. ha ha
So, I paid for guaranteed Before 12PM delivery. Right now - the tracking shows Out for delivery at 7.15AM...... No updates after that.... Waiting for confirmation...
As regards last year, Around Jan 4th week, CIC said that the quota is filled. Mine reached Jan 27th though last year and returned by CIC after 4 months.
Hoping this time good luck.
