Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

[YULIA-2016]

guy from UPS told me cap is 10000, they called them..
not sure trust or not 8)

I don't think so. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/sponsor-parents.asp says the cap is 5000.

I saw it with my own eyes guys.. I was shocked.. I had asked my guy to line up at 5 thinking this would be enough but didn't seem so..the sad part was that each courier had a guy in line and other drivers on the road(from that courier) were coming and giving them packets(late/overnight shipments)..

Wow, that's crazy. Based on what you say, I have the feeling that the 5,000 cap was met by 9am. The government really needs to think of a new process. This is not working at all.

And I noticed one thing: in 2015 all deliveries were signed by Stephanie and had it's own unique #. This year we have at least 3 persons signing for deliveries: Tammy, Adusey and Mahmood. So how is CIC going to number all recieved application?

I should have shipped my application to those local courier to drop off
These guys seems to know what they are doing....
I dont know why I never thought about that before...

It wouldn't be that difficult. Each person would presumably be counting the number of applications they have accepted - and I'm sure there would be a manager supervising. Once the total reaches 5000 - all three would start routing any packages received into a different area to be returned to the sender. All they have to keep track of is the first 5000. Anything after that is going back.

my guy was #11 in the line... with the # of packets I saw with the people in front of him I say if we are not talking about COMPLETE APPS but just apps received I think around 7000 were received before mine (I SERIOUSLY HOPE I AM WRONG). (do the math 40 minutes , 1 sec to accept 3 applications as there were 3 ppl accepting and ..40*60*3) because I was told there were 3 people accepting apps this time compared to 1 last time...

This sounds reasonable.

Remember that there is a PO Box that they have to empty as well. PO Box is an equally likely candidate for FCFS assuming they follow this policy with enough rigor

possibly they put date and number this year

Oh, with 4 people accepting deliveries... I wonder at what time the cap of 5000 was reached this year ((.

avi_15 told that they don't put time stamps this year. Avi_15, where did you get this information?

What CIC should do is accept apps for 1 full week, and then just do a random lottery to pick the 5K/10K they are accepting. Fairest way that give people applying from Toronto the same chance as someone applying from BC.
