Ok, I created a second page called "plain list" :) I will only use colours for statuses.

You can update the data on the normal page and they will automatically be reflected on the "plain list"! (thats the theory anyways!) :-D

wow Kedeisha!! LOL :p

Sorry to be nosy but I can't help not minding all those colors in your spreadsheet! haha it's a like a night at the Carnival!! If you want my opinion (you're free to discard it if you don't) excessive use of color in your spreadsheet renders it unreadable and hard on the readers' eyes, making people miss the point you're trying to achieve. Take it from someone who's been in the marketing and Public relations field for a very long time ;)

Anyways, as far as the information goes, it's fine. Just got to be careful on the presentation LOL!! but oh well, it's no big deal I guess.

Good luck to all the Septemberites 8)

On the published spreadsheet you will see three links at the top: List, Simple List and Links. Each are a page on the same spreadsheet. In the editing mode those pages are at the bottom of the sheet.

The Simple List is just a reflection of the first page, but without the colours!!!


Cheers!

Well for those keeping track at home. The medicals were finally completed yesterday in Brazil!! It was a bit of a soap opera, she went for her tests last week, but the DMP wanted a few signatures that she had to chase for each of the various tests.

The good news, is that my wife mailed me the package yesterday to include with the application. So I should received it within 5 days they said (yes, that is the fastest service they had).

As soon as I get it, I will mail the app!!!

Tomorrow our thread will finally be officially in progress!

Cheers!

Well September folks the processing time at CPC-M has increased to 60 days and they are on June 30, 2011 applications not good news for those who are looking to apply now but hopefully if its due to summer vacations by mid mth vacations are done and office is back to normal staffing so they can go back down to 30 days

Hmmm....not good. I think we should write to the Immigration Minister to know what is happening. I dont remember this curve last summer.
