Congrats to new parents

It's not official yet, but it looks like the cut off for referrals this month was February 19th, 06.

Congratulations to those of us who received the news this week.

Again

I always ask this each month (sorry)
But was the time frame for referrals the same as normal, or did they get any farther than normal?
One can only hope :-)

From what I can tell, it included only February 16,17,18,19. But I have to keep reminding myself that back in October last year, there was an agency that talked with CCAA, and was told then by a CCAA rep that this year would only include January and February 06. It looks like this was accurate information.
I'm still optimistic that 09 will be a bit more than 2-7 days of referrals per month, now that the Olympics are out of the way, and because attrition has lowered the number of those of us still waiting, but it's just wishful thinking at this time.

It looks like they are saying "the box" has been changed to the 17th. That means only 2 days (or 1 and 1/2 days if you include the oops batch last month)

I saw that too Andrea, on RQ. One agency said that they had heard other agencies with the 19th cut off. But that agency had no referrals. And the 18th and 19th was a weekend, so the 17th or the 19th are almost the same thing.
So close yet so far on everything!
