Thank you for your interest in sponsoring a parent or grandparent.
The online submission form to show your interest closed at noon on February 2, 2017. We are no longer accepting submissions.
We’ve reviewed the submissions and removed duplicate entries. Just over 95 000 people expressed their interest to sponsor their parent or grandparent. From these, we randomly selected 10 000 people and invited them to submit an application. Find out why we only select 10 000 sponsors.
Everyone who completed the form was sent an email.
as per the above statement everyone should have received e-mail by now. I am still waiting, does anyone received any rejection e-mail yet.

Just an observation. It does look like with the "expression of interest" it is a very simple process. So people just sign up without even knowing if they qualify to sponsor their parents.
So with CIC choosing 10,000 from the lottery, there might be a more sizable number that DO NOT meet the requirements. In previous years you sent in an actual application.
Right now quite a few who have been invited to apply are asking questions whether they can or cannot sponsor their parents.
This is probably CIC's mistake in assuming that an expression of interest to apply means that all are eligible to apply. Will CIC conduct a supplementary draw if they find that they do not get 10,000 valid eligible applications?
Or will the number increase for the following year?
