Yeah, but do you think they have also checked all 10K packages for completeness before they even knew the cap will be increased? It's a lot of additional work.... I mean they should not only have put aside additional 5K, but also ensure they all are complete packages. Seems kind of a lot of work. I am saying this based on the understanding that they have to keep 10K complete packages.Jian_Letran said:Based on what I have read, they had received enough applications for both 5k and 10k cap before Jan 7. They had started processing the 5k immediately that week and put on queue the remaining 5k, meaning the rest that would make it 10k. So it means that in the span of 3 days the cap was reached but we cannot know for sure what time it was. But they definitely had everything in order before they started returning the apps that did not make the cap. As the CIC website stated they kept 14k apps. So I don't know what's confusing about it. They must have received all those 14k apps in Jan 4 because I knew some people that sent their apps on Jan 4 received their apps back with a note that they received the application after the cap was reached. So the cap was reached just hours after the program started. Kudos to the early birds. So for those who are wondering why they are charging CC and returning other apps its because they already had enough apps and are just starting to process them.
But in any case, I agree with the thoughts that we cannot change anything at this point and have to just patiently wait......
I am from the 9:43 Purolator batch. Has anyone from that batch got the application returned already?
