Seems CIC is reading my posts lol. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/tips-for-2016-future-pgp-applicants-t333951.0.html;msg4874596#msg4874596
This is by far the fairest way to do this, to give someone applying from Victoria BC the same odds of making the cap as someone from Toronto and physically much closer to the CPC-Mississauga office.
They should be running this with a few strict rules, such as:
1. Just 1 entry allowed (gauged by SIN), and anyone discovered with more than 1 entry should be banned entirely from that year's lottery
2. Entries not picked above 10K should be kept, and after initial 10K apps are screened for qualifications with some eliminated, a further lottery should happen to fill out the 10K apps
3. Those missing lottery 1 year, should have some kind of priority in later years
All those courier companies expecting a huge new years bonus must be furious at this!
