Hotel, did you FedEx the application from Vancouver or staying in HK with relatives right now? I wonder which is more efficient, go back to HK, sit at home and wait for the invite or stay in Canada and scramble to get a ticket out.
PS: I haven't even finish post secondary school so I'm still 1 year away from applying.

hey koyo, I think you should Fedex the app back to HK and wait in Canada. They usually contact you in advance for any interviews, so you can make travel arrangment. Of course no hurt to stay in HK and wait, but try to keep your normal life going. We don't really know when they will launch the next CPP. Keep it up! No worry mate!

hi katana-dv20,
when is your 1st initerview in April,
I mailed my application at mid Jan in canada, and I just got a e-mail for 1st interview.
I am getting mine schedule at at late april when I finish school.
and where are you from now?
Did you get "that" book to prepare?
hi ypk
Where are you from?
you should get your call soon depends on how long does it take to mail to HK, it's not hurt to give them a call to confirm they got your package.
I mailed mine in mid Jan, the package got there by the end of the month, and I finally got call a few days ago, so you should get your e-mail very soon.
hey Koyo,
did you send your application in already? if not, I guess Fedex or some kind of express will be your only choise, b/c after they got your package, it take approx 1 month for them to process b4 ask your for 1st in. (normal mail to oversea take 10-14 days)
If you happen to go to HK, great, let them you when will be there so they could plan ahead. If not, just be prepare to go at any time.
By the way, I heard the up coming CPP will be around Aug, no confirm on date yet.

Koyo, i didn't fedex my application. I sent it by Hong Kong post regular service while I was having my semester break in Hong Kong. By the way I was told all applications usually take around a month to process.
good luck to all!

Im from Vancouver too.
Seems like they're sending out emails to everyone who applied recently. I got one asking me which day to choose to go for stage one (Apr 7 or 8).
Anyone confirmed for these dates ??

topgun200204, I have gained around 33.3 hrs of dual flight training, 9 hrs solo. Planning to take the flight test on March or April this year. There are couple good flight schools in lower mainland area. You can personally visit those schools at boundary bay airport or pitt meadows airport. Check out the aircrafts, instructors, facilities.....etc. Good Luck!!

I am from Toronto, and I don't have a degree,
I apply with my highschool diploma and should be getting a College diploma by the end of April to update my file.
It really doesn't matter, there was a chinese guy in austrilia, grat from highschool,
turn down the university offer and apply, and he got in,
he was only 19 at that time and now he is a SO.

Hi Tomcat and HL, the education is somehow important to assist you to complete the CPP. However, university degree is not a must. I know a guy grad from U of T engineering, but he couldn't pass the stage 3 interview. So, I think the CPP screening is most likely to test your flying potential, learning ability and personality. If you are good at those, no worry. Good Luck.

topgun200204, same as tomcat I don't have a degree either. I apply with high school result. I was told there are 2 students in my flight school who didn't finish their degree yet, still got into CX CPP. On the other hand, it is hard to say better chance if you have flying hrs or PPL, there are too many stories in the forum saying that people still screw up in CPP interview even they have some hrs or PPL. I bleieve katana-dv20 is correct, if you are good at flying potential, learning ability and personality, the better chance you have. Good luck!
