I hope current govt will clear cases faster than last year and early submitters must start arranging accommodation for pgp. Such opportunity rarely comes. In the past people have waited 5 to 10 years for pgp. And I doubt such opportunity will come again.
With so many law suits of angry sponsors wasting tax money paying, it is very likely that the PGP program will be completely close shop next year, people are just making it so inconvenient to operate by keep suing for perfectionism and for discrimination, it is the price to pay, very likely this year is the last chance to sponsor parents, maybe they will introduce a new visa next year for parents instead

No dash, just XXXXXXXX
I type capital letter for surname
YOB should be in the format mm dd yyyy (I made a mistake of typing reverse and not showing)
Really? MM DD YYYY ? Doesn't work, throws an error. They specifically ask for YYYY-MM-DD (iso format)

You can expect some changes for sure if the Liberal Govt loose the power.

The IRCC agent gave me the file # just now on the phone, although she claimed that my case had not been in process yet. With that file number, I am still unable to retrieve anything on ECAS but I am able to link my application successfully. I first thought it was a temp file # but it turned out to be the official file number starting with F.

No matter who wins the election. I am sure next year, they wont have FIFO scheme through EOI form.
Even if they do, they will let 100K people to fill in and select the first 10K or 20K whatever the quota they fix next year. LOL.

Adding an entry would be okay with forms. But people would be able to update their own record? If you know how to do it, please do. That will be a great help.
I see people can add notes for me so go head to do that under your line
