    Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

    Don't be ridiculous - a large number of applicants use credit card and it works for them.

    Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

    I see many angry voices throwing tantrums at Purolator here to a point where it is beginning to sound absurd. Here are some facts - 1) The process is not over yet so maybe you are jumping the gun by arriving at conclusions which may be invalid. 2) Did Purolator force you to use their...

    Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

    Hmmm... it is not about the accuracy of tracker. As per best reasonable estimates UPS was carrying around 1000 apps - believe it or not that's ~150Kg load of apps. Now do you think that it is humanely possible for a courier to dump all that load at a precise time point or for CIC to charge all...

    Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

    1) because they have a business to run and clearly your anxiety is not their priority 2) even if they confirmed and told you what you want to know -you'll still be anxious until CIC charges your CC So patience is the only thing that can help you my friend !

    Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

    No one should put any credibility in your theories as well.. you are suggesting that 12:30 batch would make it to the 5K cut - seriously how did you arrive at that conclusion ? Consider this - the first guy in line was a local GTA courier and he had 700 apps - there were atleast 4 or 5 other...

    Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

    Looks like all the "first in line local couriers" have been charged. Now, it is the turn of the big 3 courier companies i.e. UPS, Fedex and Purolator - all 3 with load full of apps to dump.

    Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

    I think you are correct - this article also suggests that up to 5K will be processed ; 5K-10K will start processing once authorized by legislation i.e. "Govt's overall immigration plan 2016" - Quote from the article - "McCallum suggests the higher cap would come with the release of the...

    By his own admission he is a thankless parasite who is leeching on to get information to better his prospects in future for the same thing for which he is critiquing everyone today. Right now he is nothing but an attention seeker and a sadist who has no stake in the process, so he conveniently...

    Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

    I am with you on this point - these local couriers are exploiting the system and playing on the emotions of the applicants. This should stop. Infact, if you see my previous posts in this thread, I was the first one to call out a local courier who was boasting on this forum (he wasn't very...

    Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

    What do you mean by "Rigged" ? Yes, I agree that the system is flawed but to give it a fraudulent undertone is totally preposterous. The article critiques the shortcomings of CIC's process (which is true to an extent) - but you sir, very conveniently misconstrued it with your coloured vision to...

    Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

    Here is another theory: As per earlier posts there were 3 counters accepting apps: HR although 1st in line had ~700 apps (much higher than MM, VW who were likely at counter #2 and #3 at the same time). So, there is a possibility that MM and VW apps were queued ahead of some HR apps and hence...

    Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

    This is good news for 2 reasons: 1) All 14K applicants will have a fair shot 2) This would also humble these local couriers who have been thumping their chests since last few days and salivating on the prospects of making a fortune at the expense of people's emotions next year.
