Finally some relief:

I am able to check ECAS status today morning for both applications. My parents (sponsored by my brother and sister in law) and my wife's parents (sponsored by my wife and me) Will post my timeline to @YULIA-2016 in next post.

I can assure you that they will not even get 20k "complete" applications from the ~26.6K that they have invited. There are appx 10 people in the 500 pages of this thread alone who have "suddenly discovered" that they do not have the necessary income; yet, had applied, were invited, and have essentially "wasted" these spots.

I also personally know of two other families from GTHA (not on this forum) who have had a "change of plans" since they received the invitation letters - i.e. parents don't want to move here permanently anymore and won't be applying at all - again a waste of two spots. One family's attitude was - let's just apply, we will take a call when we get invited if we want to really do this / our parents "really" want to move or not. Once they discovered the fees required, they dropped the idea. Parents from the other family "suddenly decided" they did not want to give up on their citizenship (their country does not allow for dual citizenship) in the long run so, dropped the idea completely.
I am sure there are many such cases.

Let's stop worrying about something that is clearly not in our hands, is based on pure speculation and focus on our respective applications and / or helping other members with their queries which is indeed the focus of this thread...

Thanks for encouraging words. Actually I am invited but still haven't submitted therefore worried that I may loose the opportunity. I thought that they have just invited 20k people but new update that they have invited 26.4k caused anxiety. But as you say that from last year experience they may have set the margin of unsuccessful applications and abstaining applicants.
