The official ITA letter I received said I had 90 days to submit, but once I began the application in the online system, it said I have 60 days. Which is it? Thanks!
 
90 days. It's a bug in the system that the logout message still shows 60 days.

I submitted my docs on 89 th day, if you need a living proof of this!

I saw some persons say they submitted on the last day or 2 days before the deadline and they got an email saying their ITA has expired.

How soon did you get AOR after submitting? My deadline is March 31 and I plan to submit on the 27th.

Great. Living proof is where it's at.

Why delay? If reason is not personal :)

I haven't gotten all my documents together yet. I wish I didn't have to delay. But I should be good by the end of May. So... yea.

That's life.

I got it right away. Payment was pending for sometime, but once it went through, I got the PDF saying that the application was received with the EE number as my application number.

But it was very stressful as I had failed payment once. If the system had taken longer time to recognize a failed payment (as credit card identified it as a fraudulent transaction), I would have lost the bus. Thankfully it let me submit again in a hour or two. I would suggest one week buffer unless you have compelling reason to submit it later.

Yea. You are lucky! I will hopefully have a 5 day buffer. Finger's crossed for no Credit Card issues.

I have CRS 459, so I will get invite in next round.

My biggest concern was filling those forms all again and checking the documents again and again (have slight OCD personality ;)) seemed nightmare for me. I just wanted to get it done and come out of it at least for some time!
