I was looking at the spreadsheet and I noticed that some of the entries have a different date format. Could we use one format only?

I just followed the format of the one above although I am used to day/month/year.

I conformed the dates to MM/DD/YYYY format, and put in headers as a reminder of the date format. I used the MM/DD/YYYY format on the assumption that a lot of the CPP-Ottawa applicants would be applying from the US and would thus be used to the MM/DD/YYYY format. I don't really have a dog in the date format race, just wanted it to be useful and easy...

LOL....thanks IvanP....I hear you on the bored waiting. My spouse is American and we are constantly having discussions on how the date is written differently. I keep saying it is just one of the many reasons that Canada is better and why Americans want to live here .....Tongue in cheek of course

Here in Vancouver we can get milk in 1L bottles, but I haven't seen it in bags (though I remember buying milk in bags as a kid in the US).

As for spelling, why shouldn't it be "mourning" instead of "morning" ;-) Or tire instead of tyre?

Maybe bagged milk is just an Ontario thing :

"Mourning" and "morning" have 2 entirely different meanings. Perhaps that is why the different spelling.
I think "tyre" is the British spelling for "tire" if I am not mistaken.

English is such a difficult language to master with all it's rules and exceptions to those rules. I feel great empathy for new immigrants trying
to learn the language. Both speaking and writing. I cannot imagine what this immigration process must be like for someone who does not
have English as their first language.

So, we just received an email from CPP Ottawa stating that the PCC we had done through a channeler is not valid Even though, I called CIC to verify it is acceptable to go through a channeler. We sent this in back in Feb 2012 to the Buffalo consulate. As it closed, our file was transferred to Ottawa and just got word today. I have the standard 60 days to get this sent. Does anyone have any rough idea how long it could possibly take for them to review this new FBI original PCC after the 60 days are up? Thanks for any help you can offer...it is greatly appreciated!
