At least I stick to the PGP thread topic. No more political correctness of PGP issues. Just stuck to PGP related manner like couriers.

Are you calling me a bully? I was only mentioning the flaws in the current fcfs system. I didn't say it is a stupid system but it has it's flaws as we have seen in the articles.

And one other thing, you really can't use the spreadsheet as a statistic example, it is too small a pool to come up with the actual statistics, unless Rossei can actually get very close to 5000 applicants added to the sheet and see the real results. The statistics pulled from the spreadsheet is equivalent to the online polls we see on news websites, based on people submitting their info voluntarily. As iluvbaguio mentioned, people outside ON can use local couriers so it can be quite misleading to say ON has no advantage. iluvbaguio admitted to spending more money to get the advantage I talked about. Like I said, as long as fcfs exist, supply and demand applies. Anyone living closest to CIC-M gets the advantage. So instead of jumping to conclusions, as you have done, examine the spreadsheet closely. Compare the successful ones and what courier they used. I would bet that most of the successful ones, regardless of where they actually live, used local couriers in the GTA. This will show that people in Ontario especially in GTA has the geographical advantage.

Guys we should stop this unnecessary advantage and disadvantage thing now.. Its not ON or GTA people's fault to live close to Case processing Centre what if tomorrow they decide and say PGP application will be processed by Vegerville AB Centre... that means Alberta will have advantage??

If I live close to Tim Horton's and can get Double Double every morning by just a walk to the store that doesn't mean I asked Tim's to open branch close to my house,, its there own market research thing which made them to open it in the locality... same way its not GTA people's fault and anyone else's disadvantage to live far in other provinces... if you want you can move close to CPC or Tim's to get coffee every day lol

If they moved it to vegreville, the people in alberta would get the advantage over ON. Nfld would get the most disadvantage due to longest delivery time to reach Vegreville. It is simple realistic logistic math.

This thread is getting too long but the content is not about the title but views about PGP process. Come on guys, stick to the main reason why this thread was created.

Any CC charged today?

1 so far. Some days will be slower as our data cannot truly represent CIC activity by hour/day.

may be they are processing canada post
It is quite possible that they reallocate the staff from other departments to handle the application volume. Once the 14K applications was accepted, the staff are rededicated back to their departments before PGP. The remaining original pgp staff are now processing the completeness for cap. This would explain the slowness of seeing credit cards being charged.
