I couldn't find the original source of those news, but it looks like: 1) that number was released by IRCC itself, so the source for this and my numbers are the same 2) it was released in June - half way through the initial acceptance period - while the application intake was until end of July I...

Don't know where you got this info. I was in communication with various ministers A LOT, and here is the info I gathered: From the 2017 interest form over 100,200 submissions were received. After duplicate entries were removed, the total was ~95,100 submissions. Of these, 10k were randomly...

Sound idea. +1 Did it, sent to the office of Ahmed Hussen. But you can too - the more people write to them, the higher the chance they'll even notice this.

I strongly believe if a person is eligible for something, there should be no chances involved of getting it. If too many people are eligible vs the available spots - make the selection stricter until you have just enough eligible applicants. Lottery is a fair selection within an unordered list -...

Been patient since Nov 2011 :mad:

My main problem is that I no longer have control over what/when will happen to my family. I don't know about other families, but we sort of like planning things in advance. Not knowing if this process will take 2 or 10 or 25 years is kind of stressful. People wanted shorter wait times - yes...

That's my point as well. It's already a privilege to bring your parents, and they already increased the requirement, so just go all the way already. People will know what to strive for. In the letter I provide a framework to come up with what that exact number should be. Can't calculate it...

It's pure math, similar to "what's the chance of getting a six if you roll a dice N times." Your chance of being selected this year is 10k/95k = 10.5%. It will likely get only worse later, but I'm keeping it constant as an optimistic scenario. Then the formula for non-selection is x =...

To those who wasn't selected, I did some math: 30% of you still won't be selected even after 10 years of applying every year. 11% won't be selected after 20 years of trying. Created a separate topic for it...

Hi all, I did some math on the existing lottery system for Parents Sponsorship: - One third (over 30,000 people) of the existing interested individuals, even if the are fully eligible TODAY, will still NOT be selected to submit an application after 10 years of applying - 11% (over 10,000...

Anyone? You did changes in application and have progress/delays?

Yes, because employer affects income, and income is a material part of the application. I called them specifically to ask about it. They followed up with an email - below. Sorry I don't include links they included (i.e. to the form), because the forum does not let me.

My application was received in morning batch on Jan 4, 2016 and I got confirmation of receipt on Feb 2. In April I changed my job and notified CIC, they send reply saying docs will be attached to my application. Since then - silence, but people in the same batch were getting sponsorship approval...
