2017 PGP Applicants

[certus881]

worth at least 85,000 votes

Yes, I just posted in another tread about the existing petition e-739 (571 signatures). If a new petition regarding the outcomes of the lottery.. there's was 85000 rejected. Assume, 10% where eligible applicants......

 

[prontissimo]

My wife just got rejected and I was the co-signer (2 Kids and sponsoring my in-laws from Britain: family of 6); We have prepared since the spring of 2016. Done extensive research to know the process and made sure of eligibility.

I have to express my disgust with the overall system and all the ignorant, malicious, lack of language proficiency entries. This was a free for all gong show and was well orchestrated by the top to limited this class of immigrants. I am employed in the public sector and it's a lot about the smoke and mirrors; and there is no excuse for a haphazard process without knowing in advance that this will happen. It's not about who is governing, I understand our country cannot bare more than it can handle and the PGP does not favour the popular consensus. The previous method was unfair but it was survival of the fittest. For eligible people that entered the lottery and had their chances exponentially erased due to sabotage by others. It's wrong, plain and simple. Fairness, nothing in life is far!!! However, this was a vile experience.

Well said, sir. Wish you and your family all the best next year.

I'm in. I would like to go to the media to be honest. so frustrated coz was preparing my application since october and they changed the rules just two weeks before and now I'm not selected.

I would really like to know how many people are ineligible and got selected.

Yes, I am thinking & open for all below channels as we move along, but we have to unite & organize ourselves, single voice will be lost like a drop in ocean.
-> Flood CIC’s twitter account with complaints, other social media like FB etc.
-> Flood online feedback form which someone shared in this thread,
-> Involve mainstream media / news agencies etc.
-> Get actual number of applications filed against 10K & information on ineligible people, by filing Right to information.
-> Involve and write to MPs & ministers
-> Peaceful Demonstration/protest
-> File a law suite
Anything else, but we have to bring a change for our parents, they have done a lot for us & made us capable, and we can’t leave them all alone in their old age, this is just not acceptable. facebook/groups/283364462069280/ Let’s start getting together & see what can we do, here is the FB group I created, please come & Join.

I'm in calgary and my MP is from conservative.

I'll try to talk to him first and go from there. How many people here are from Calgary and may be we can get together and do something about this.

Again any protest, petition, complaints, etc people intend to submit to IRCC, should have nothing to do with going back to the old way of first come first served using couriers. IRCC does not want to see couriers lining up for days and news outlets saying how horrible it is people paid thousands of dollars just for a chance to submit an app. Going back to courier way will never happen, so is no point to talk about it.

What should be discussed, is how to fix the lottery going forward and make sure ineligible applicants are weeded out before the lottery is drawn, and to perhaps give extra chances to those that missed on the previous years lottery. If this can happen, then the lottery system would be fair to all. Hopefully some of the outcry leads to a better system for 2018.

I agree, that was to voice my opinion. Addressing this fiasco is the priority. thanks for the clarifying the directive.

Confirmation # was never emailed. It was generated during the lottery submission. after your entry was received by the website. It stated a confirmation number and informed you to keep it for future use. I guess call IRCC; anybody else have suggestions. Please people read all materials carefully, IRCC doesn't need to have anymore strain of resources.

like seriously? this is the worst that can be done to us!!!! I am in, lets send direct messages to the pm on his insta and fb..lets get our voice heard.. freaking losers

Good luck for those who got selected! But for those who are not, by now it is clear that the whole process is messed up without having a fundamental check of eligibility at the first place, lot of ineligible people submitted the web form & were also received invitations, now many of those will not even apply and others will be rejected later, as a results all those spots will be wasted and snatched away from the people who have been trying for years to reunite with their family, this not only causes a huge emotional pain but it is injustice.
I believe instead of leaving our frustration on this forum & wiping our own tears alone, we should use this energy to unite, organize ourselves and hold CIC accountable, have them put a process to allocate those unutilized spots to eligible applicants instead of waiting for another year and sailing in the same boat and also have them make the process more fair/ eligibility & point based next year. There are various channels this issue can be taken up, please remember no change will happen unless we shout & get our voice heard.
Those who are serious for this cause, please stand up & raise your hands, I can start creating a group to unite ourselves and we will go from there.

count me in please

Received reject email today at 11:30 a.m.

Also noticed that CIC changed the minimal income requirement (with NOA proof) from 2013-2015 periods to 2014-2016. This could have prevented a lot of people from rightfully apply, and awarded others for taking chances.

I want to speak to our MP and share a piece of my mind.

I could have filled out the sponsor form and enter the draw if i had known that CIC would change the years from 2013-2015 to 2014-2016. I am pissed.
