    Ray of Hope - 80th Draw

    Hi everyone. I haven't posted for a while, sorry. Life has just done what life does and gets in the way of well intended plans. Just a short note to say that I feel the way most of you do. CIC are a bunch of a**holes and playing games with our emotions. I keep thinking that it must be...

    Ray of Hope - 73rd Draw

    I feel a support group forming where we can share ideas on where the best nursing homes are in Ontario and how to smuggle cheap viagra across the US/Canadian border. :D

    Ray of Hope - 72nd Draw

    I totally agree, let's keep the chicken little. He's funny, in a sad little way. It must be dark under that cloud that he carries around.

    Ray of Hope - 72nd Draw

    Hi @moose17, your backup plan is a good one. I've lived in both Toronto and Waterloo and I much prefer Kitchener-Waterloo. I lived there for 13 months and still have friends there in the Tri-City area. Not sure if you are in IT, but IT jobs are still very much in demand there. I'm not a big...

    Ray of Hope - 71st Draw!

    Ha ha - yes @pessacanada I agree, :) goes to :eek::eek::eek: every time. But it's still my favourite day of the week! We are all queueing up for the rollercoaster of emotions: 1) Nervous excitement 2) Giddy anticipation 3) Party happiness 4) Creeping doubt 5) Wailing despair (This is my...

    Ray of Hope - 71st Draw!

    As you know I am in a similar position. Let's not call it 'being old' but look on the bright side and say we 'mature' candidates now know the value of time. ;)

    Yes they will. I expect them to start sending in Sept again, but that's just my own hopes and opinion.

    Ray of Hope - 71st Draw!

    I think you are vastly underestimating the number of people who do not exercise their ITAs. CIC will try to managed their workload and spread the processing of ITAs out across the year. I would be shocked if we didn't see on average a draw every two weeks until the end of the year. They may...

    Ray of Hope - 70th Draw!

    Great to see the negativity and dispair starting to creep in. We need to see more of it folks. Still loads of time for the draw to happen, but some of you selfish pessimists are not sharing your unique talents. :mad:

    Ray of Hope - 70th Draw!

    Hi @Nabs17. Many thanks for sharing your story. And more so for not making me feel as old as I am. It's a very similar story to mine in many ways only you have a few more points than me. Maybe they give extras points for looks? ;)
