The system (mycic) can't find me to let me sign up and apply for an extension online.

My record expires Dec 26 2011 (21 days from now). Which is why I was going to apply online instead of by mail as I see recommended everywhere.

Can I apply by mail, will it get there in time to get into the system so I don't get into trouble for overstaying?

Use a courier with a "signed for" delivery option, it will be ok.

Send it by mail and make sure it is postmarked and received before your status expires (they recommend applying a month before expiration but it is not a requirement) so definitely follow Baloo's advice and require a signature at delivery. It will take a little longer to process (I'm not sure why... it might just be volume), but you will have implied status while you wait for their decision.

I also have terrible problems logging on to the CIC website. I get to the user agreement then it tells me the page is busy or has techincal problems.

I solved this by using a different computer. I have a lower end (but new) laptop that has wireless internet. When I need to use CIC, I use my boyfriend's top of the line desktop. I'm not sure if its my computer or the wireless or a combination of both. If you have the option, try another (secure) computer. Now if I could just get CIC to answer the phone....

Good luck!
