Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

[MissFrowz]

Metro Mississauga just emailed me about an update on their site. They have confirmed that they were in the top three in the line up:

"UPDATE : Sponsorship Delivery : All Applications were dropped before 8:45 AM January 4, 2016.

Line Position : Within top 3

Our Start in line 10:00 AM January 3, 2016

Application Range : Within 0-1000"

So it seems like the first three local couriers may have only had up to 1,000 applications altogether. I hope this is accurate so that applications sent through larger couriers were able to make the cap.

As a side note, I think it's madness that they have to start lining up almost 24 hours before. The system needs to be fixed asap

Metro is telling the truth. You are within the first 1000. The guy from Metro is very nice.

0-1000 Metro guy is holding OR 0-1000 for the top 3 couriers?

 

[uzairkhan31]

It's 0-1000 for the first 3.

Insane...they lined up at 10am yesterday and still were third in line?! WTF?!

The federal immigration department has said it will be accepting the same number of applications this year as it did in 2015 from parents and grandparents wanting to join family members in Canada, despite a Liberal election promise to double the intake “immediately.”The federal immigration department has said it will be accepting the same number of applications this year as it did in 2015 from parents and grandparents wanting to join family members in Canada, despite a Liberal election promise to double the intake “immediately.”

Hi All,

Their website notice says:

what does it mean? did they lose my package?

 

[YULIA-2016]

For next year application from AB,BC, if you have friends in Toronto -send it to them before dec-31 like option.
