Correct me if I'm wrong (and I hope I'm wrong) but I read somewhere on this forum that they were to accept only 25000 applicants through EE

By 25,000, they mean number of applications. Each application may have 1 or more persons (dependants). So, the total number of immigrants (applicants and dependants) will be much more.

My two cents.
