I was 10% at the time I was granted CIA. Now I'm 95%. It will be interesting to see what they decide!

The thing I am most interested in at this point is my CIAS which was applied for on 25 Feb 19 and is sitting at stage 3. Ill be keeping a close eye on this to make sure it doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Which Im sure it will.

I took about 4 or 5 weeks for my CIA level to be moved to level 2 and for my CIAS to be approved. You will likely hear something soon, if you were already approved CIA. But with all the lunacy at VAC right now, you might see a delay too. It'll all work out.

DId they take the time served requirement out of the CIA determination? I am sitting at 95%, deemed to have a DEC, and am at the lowest CIA level. My reg time and reserve time added up to.....you guessed it.....20.25 years. Missed a grade level bump by 4 months. I wonder if I will get a bump under the new legislation?

The ELB and CIAS amounts were rolled into the one IRB payment

I was able to capture screen shots of my VAC benefits info, and nothing had better change.

I was up by 647 bucks a month so i figured there was a screw up, wife was getting the normal for spouse on PA and then roughly the same for this new tax free amount..
They must have switched us to the Phoenix pay system lets hope not.

As a software developer myself, specializing in accounting, this is not rocket science. this is what happens when you tender contracts out to the lowest bid

Pte Gillian and Captain Skipper too are not impressed as they cope via weed whacking. The millionaire and his wife, Lovie are former newly retired Deputy Ministers at VAC and are on their 27th 3-hour cruise and do not give a F##K. Stay tuned for updates from Professor Walt after he gets finished flirting with the Movie star Trudeau. I miss that show I do not even have cable. ----->>>>>>Youtube, Gillian here I come until the web page is up and I can see if I am still up 200 bucks from this morning updated Vac Account.
Thanks for the memories By the Bay

Skipperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Lol

I bet they are trying to fix their fu** up.
VAC reminds me of the S.S Minnow that set sail for a 3 hour tour....and we all know how that turned out.
Shipped wreck on an uncharted desert island somewhere in the South Pacific Ocean. Very Happy

Guess who is watching Gillian's Island? Meeeeeeeeee
Hopefully VAC will get their shipwreck sh*# together soon.

Cheers,

Good grief. They've had lots of time to prepare for this.
