Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

[iluvbaguio]

This is my second year. I didn't reuse last year's forms. I downloaded the forms many times through out the year. My mistake was close to the end of 2015 I didn't bother comparing the whole forms anymore, instead I checked timestamps on the CIC forms link page and the bottom of the forms. It is half my bad luck and half CIC's fault. I don't think I am a lazy bum. There is no need to be rude!

Don't worry wec80.. I think it is still valid..

Sorry guys, I don't mean to be rude but there is no reason to create such panic amongst everyone here. I agree with previous post that such comments only confuse everyone emotionally invested in the process. To be honest, you can't blame this on CIC. I remember during November, they updated the website and it said new forms for 2016 process are now available. I called CIC office and confirmed if those were the forms we needed to use. Yes, nobody has a right to call anyone lazy or be rude but at the same time don't just blame CIC because you did not see the update. Please be considerate to everyone else. What good is this going to do now anyway? We already sent the application. Even if you update the forms now and send them with explanation, if they are going to reject it, they will do that anyway.

Spot On - want to give you a +1 for this if only I know how to ..lol (sorry new to this forum and still learning the ropes )

My point was that they cannot update the forms and keep the same revision. This is against the rules, whoever works with documents control knows that.
I work with documents all the time and I know that they did is unacceptable - and therefore probably a mistake.

No one's being rude - you just confirmed it yourself.

Yes you're being rude...I don't think anyone in this forum is lazy...We all took the time to try to do things right...I even hired a Imm. consultant and she didn't point that out to me. I paid her a lot of money. So I took pretty much all the steps. To call someone lazy you have to know them personally.

I downloaded the forms in sept 2015.

What am I supposed to compare the forms word by word now? This is ridiculous.

I used Purolator's same-day service to send my application and the proof of delivery email that I got from them is sent from SCI Logistics. I noticed that SCI Logistics is part of Canada Post group of companies so maybe that's what they used to deliver these applications.

https://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/aboutus/corporate/groupcompanies.jsf

My application was picked up from Purolator (5995 Avebury Rd, Mississauga) at 9.13 AM and delivered at 10;08AM. The drive from that location to CPC is about 10 minutes he must have lined up at the center at around 9:30-9:45 and delivered at 10:08AM.

I have a similar case. Two thing that worries me is if the package was actually delivered at 10:08am considering there was a big line up and wait times? Second, if it was delivered within 5000 limit?

What are your thoughts?

Haha on the left under the name it says 'Good' LOL

 

[iluvbaguio]

It looks the same to me. I don't know what you saw in november

Agree. All fields are the same.. All required information is the same.. Pardon me for opening this up.

What matter is that the first in line Coops students & their Supervisor who are checking and ticking marks should also think that both forms give same information. They will have benchmark forms with them to compare the Completed application.

Yup, agreed. There is no new info with the revised form.

You are where you are because of the choices you made. All I did was protested against the attitude of creating panic and confusion.

Well I don't know what to say, I was in my native country in November. Got my parents to sign the documents and brought them back with me on Nov 27th. Then, I saw the website was updated on 24th. So, I didn't wanted to take any chances so I reprinted and filled all the forms and courier it to them and back. It is easy to sit and point fingers when something doesn't go your way. I have been dealing with citizenship and immigration for so long to know that they will never take the blame for anything. We have to be extra careful. I am sorry you are worried for your application. If the content is the same, maybe you will be ok too. Just my advice is always be extra careful with this stuff.

I can't find the "Good" button - maybe it is the fault of this forum's moderator or CIC's fault or Courier's or Gov't

I think you have to make 20 posts before you can award someone +1. So keep on posting.

I think you're not looking hard enough...you must be lazy, for sure.


Ok I'm done with this. Good luck to everyone!

Hey Century,
Nice to see you around. Have you lodged a PGP application already?

If you've read my message correctly you'd see that I filled the latest form and not worried about my application in regards to that.
I just gave my opinion to the person that was worried, as I work with controlled documents all the time and I know the rules.
But you can go and +1 the smart ass that just showed up and call people "lazy bum" in his first message in this forum. He sounds very intelligent and for sure knows better. I'm done commenting here. Good luck everyone.
