Admittedly I did leave it to the last minute. Because of this I did expect the website to have issues. Surprisingly it actually handled quite well. But I had problems with parts of the website, most notably updating the employer details, the drop down menus for the provinces didn't work. They didn't work on a variety of browsers and as such my submission is incomplete even though the numbers have been updated.
There is a telephone number you can phone for help but they don't answer it. They did answer it this morning who then referred me to another person who I did speak to.
What an unpleasant specimen of humanity. Completely unhelpful, antagonistic and rude. He informed me (often) that I have not complied - refuted that his system did not work and offered a bunch of useless information about what I should have done yesterday. Apparently I should have gone to my provincial office and told them that there was a problem. However the website provides you with a national telephone number and two documents that tell you what to do - but can't solve your problems. And because this is an online submission you'd expect there to be some sort of assistance somewhere.
What was most hysterical about this incompetent and unnecessarily aggressive piece of protected employment was that he told me that he wasn't part of the technical team.
I am sure that this happens the world over - it's just that it's what you expect from our absolutely incompetent government. You've got your work cut out for you Cyril.
Anybody else had a similar or better experience.
