I've been CPR since August and have been definitely learning a lot about patience.
I recommend people let this thread drop, and resurrect it in February /March of next year with a title like Waiting 2020. Many, if not most, will be CPR well into 2020--- you haven't even started waiting yet !
Sure, there may be a few LOA's or even early appointments within special nomination categories, but the vast majority of Appointments won't come out until February/March. All applications have to be submitted, and MOC need to submit their nomination slates, before Admissions can start the heavy lifting. If you think you are waiting now, you will be a nutcase come March.,
