Nishra, first of all let me say that there is a 'common question sheet' linked in Schnookololy's signature. It is referred to from to time and a lot of information is in there. You should refer to that.

Secondly, a spreadsheet is for tabular data, not for questions and answers. It would make little sense to put Q&A in a spreadsheet.

Thirdly, you are correct that some users who are intimidated by forms/the process will undoubtedly ask questions which have been asked before, it is a fact of life. However you can help yourself by reading various threads on the forum, the FAQ, and hopefully giving back to the board by passing on the knowledge you learned.

I did not know anything the process until September 2014 when I applied, and sure I had questions but I also made attempts to learn myself.

Finally, you have been approved, most likely you will have your COPR within 4 weeks and then you can land and get on with your life! Be happy, do not insult people who are here to help. If you cannot say anything nice do not say anything at all!
Thank you i like your respose!! i seriously mean it that you make me feel better,, the fact is that i get nervous to ask the question it might be answered in one of 1000s page is displayed, how am i suppost to know this, and how am i suppost to find FAQ until she point it to me.... but in the end i said THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THEIR SUPPORT!!!

Ah-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I'm so torn between being so blind with rage, and being just incredibly amused at the sheer ignorance of this post. You don't have TIME to do your own research, so you want us to do it for you?! Tough sh*t!!! Immigration is time-consuming -- you clearly have time to post rants on here, telling me that *I'm* the one being rude, and, btw, YOU'RE F*ING WELCOME.

MAN the crazies are out in abundance today! GAWD.

canada_nz - thanks for the lovely comments on the spreadsheet! Andrew and I do work hard to make it usable, readable, and useful - we are constantly upgrading it and adding different stats and measures without making it overwhelming, so it's very nice to know that our efforts are paying off! Cheers for your kind words.

Andrew - I agree with rhcohen, you are way nicer than either of us, haha. I think 4ish years of dealing with entitled brats on here (and to a lesser extent on BE) have turned me into somewhat of a raging b*tch at times... haha!! <3

Nishra: you have got to be the most ungrateful person!! If I was the administrator of this forum, I would suspend your account; the spreadsheet has allowed me to stay calm when the processing time for London creeped up to 29 months, it allowed people to figure out what it means when applications are kept in Mississauga.... Plz have some respect for people that try to help out here; it's not coz they don't have better things to do it's coz they're not selfish like u.... Take ur frustration elsewhere!!!!! What a rude woman u r! I wish I had the same diplomacy skills as Andrew but I lose it when I see people like u complaining and being so negative.... Plz stop posting silly comments!!!

Seriously. That spreadsheet saved me stress and allowed me to talk my husband down the walls when he wasnt being patient.

Something that helped me as well? After my initial post, I came back and read all the new posts every day, so I didnt have to ask the same thing over again, I could see when other people asked questions I also needed answers too.

I didnt have all the answers, but I had to research a lot myself. If gaining PR for yourself or your loved one in Canada is important to you, then MAKE TIME TO RESEARCH. You know, it's kind of a big deal.

Nishra: You seem to have an awful lot of time today to be replying all over this thread. Maybe use that time to get to know the CIC website some more? Just a suggestion.


To SchnookoLoly, you and Andrew-brit have been lifesavers. For so so so many people! I'm still hear reading even though we are all approved (oh, and landed on Saturday, March 21!) so that maybe I can help out with someones question or something somewhere down the road. Thanks you two!

You really are way out of line, ridiculously rude and ungrateful. You have better things to do than to research the immigration process that you are going through? Well, the rest of us have better things to do than to help you. I suggest you simply stop posting on the forum.

Totally Totally agree. This forum has been a lifesaver!! I spend my time keeping up to date with the forum and trying to find information for myself. If you can't find an answer or are still unsure about anything, the help on here is fantastic!

Why should anyone else spoon feed you because you can't be arsed to read through the history of this forum or search CIC for yourself?

I'm amazed at the patience shown by the admin on here :D

Thank you so very much to Schnookololy and Andrew-brit, you are appreciated for all your time given for free

I agree - SchnookoLoly, you have been tremendously helpful and a great source of information. Andrew and Cohen have also helped and I appreciate that all of you take time out of your day to help us. Countless times I have thought, "Wow - they have stuck around after they have completed their PR applications just to offer their insight to help others." It is super kind of you and anyone who is less than thankful doesn't deserve a moment of your time or energy.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

I too just wanted to throw in my thanks for everyone who has answered my questions through the process. Only wish I realised this forum was here before spending 6 months puzzling through the application forms on my own!

Also the quality of the spreadsheet on Outland London is AMAZING. The only other one i look at is Aug 14 outland and their spreadsheet is always in various states of disarray. Everyone should be super grateful for such easy to access and understand information.

Keep up the fab work :)
