Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

[Sam961]

If anyone gets charged this week, please share and let us know. As of now it looks like the latest time slots that got charged were 10 to 11 am on Jan 5th.

I'm in the 11:18 Canada post batch (Jan 5). 2 weeks ago, an agent told me I made the gap but I haven't been charged yet.

My application was rejected due to delivered after reaching the max 5000 cap, as they explained in their letter accompanying the returned package.

My time stamp was Jan 5, 1pm. I mailed the package in the pm on Dec 31, and used Canadapost Expresspost. I was told by the Canadapost staff that it would not make a difference using either the Priority or expresspost in my case, as I live in the GTA.

Guess will have to try some local carrier next time.

Should be 10000 cap...and not 5000 I guess...

In my experience, may differ from others , but never ever use Canada post for time sensitive deliveries even with high Priority or TOP Priority service, They definitely deliver package but there is always big question mark on time?

Agree.

Can someone please tell when would the right for permanent residence fee would be asked? Do we need to submit another payment form later?

They'll ask for it much later. I think it will be probably after they request medical or right before the passport request. This fee can be paid online and you just send the receipt to CIC.

Why there are still a lot of Purolator Jan 04 9:43 batch not get charged according to the ss?

Most of them must have been charged. The members who did not update the status probably got carefree to the extent that they care less about updating their status that in turn updates useful statistics.

Are you for USER FORM? I didn't want to create one for such big entry (too many fields). It's perfect for small entries.

Alternatively, I could still use a separate sheet (i.e. NEW ENTRY) to populate TIMELINE directly/automatically. But that conflicts with my customized sorting. I've done this before, didn't go very well.

Let me know if you have other plans. I can eliminate 'FILTER' anytime I want.

No, not user form. I think the tabular sheet (TIMELINE) is much better and easy to organize.
Unlock all cells, let the user directly enter his/her information. Let this be controlled via strict data validation. Let the user choose only validated drop-down options under each column.
Apply a conditional formatting to prevent duplicate data entry by users in column A
Keep your preferred custom sorting in your hands. I can see why you need that.
This will self-drive your workbook everyone has great admiration for.
