You are my lucky charm mate! Credit available on my cc just went down by $1100!!! ;D

At least we can now breathe. Good luck to the others who are still waiting. It will come when you least expect it.

Thanks bud!

Now, it's time to update the SS if you have not done it yet.

one thing to note other than PGP processing is that everyone cares for their parents

I second that (plus my younger brother for me)!

Trying to do that now. Am I supposed to update in New Entry tab in a new line and Rossie will transfer or do I need to update this in line 6 where I select my username?
I don't want to mess it up, though Rossie has made it quite toddler proof

Can anyone tell me which courier service you recommend? The first post recommended using local express services. Can you please name a few? Specifics for Calgary is appreciated.

HappyRoad Express.. or check the spreadsheet that Rossie have made.. You will see the list of local carrier there. Some folks here send their documents from AB to preferred local courier before the acceptance date then the local courier will send it to CIC on said date..

Can the users from 2015 PGP spreadsheet who did not make the cap last year but applied in 2016 give me a tentative date of their app being returned back in 2015? It was most probably in March, 2015. I've found few of them in both spreadsheets but there may be more. I will really appreciate it if you reply. Thanks.

Users from 2015 & 2016 SS:

float
JL2015
jstagurl <-- Application returned first week of April. I don't remember the exact date now.

If you never used 2015 SS, do not bother now.

Ok parents and grandparents who have not contributed 1 cent to Canada should not be allowed. This is just abuse of our social services

I am also concerned re the health care drain...we can't even accomodate our own elderly at the moment; not good

Need to find out who's on the take. Could very well ruin this once great nation.
