I heard from 2020 batch its only 24,000 applications remaining so hope everyone gets the invitation from 2020.
I'm not sure who told you this, but this is wrong info. There are 132,213 applications in the current pool (based on calculation only)

Please refer to happyCanadian's post on page 3

" Hi these links might help you.

There were a total of 203213 interests submitted on 2020, out of which 13400 were invited to apply (Ref: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/pgp-2020.646383/page-176#post-9121347), i.e., remaining in the pool = 203213-13400 = 189813

In 2021, 34500 were invited to apply (Ref: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/parents-and-grandparents-sponsorship-2021.744749/page-86#post-9737915), i.e., remaining in the pool = 189813 - 34500 = 155313

In 2022, IRCC announced that they will be "sending invitations to apply to 23,100 interested potential sponsors" (Ref: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2022/10/reuniting-families-across-the-country.html), i.e., minimum remaining in the pool = 155313 - 23100 = 132213

This year, in 2023, "RCC will be.. sending invitations to apply to 24,200 interested potential sponsors" (Ref: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/notices/parents-grandparents-program-re-opens-fall.html)

Hope these numbers are what you are looking for. Best of luck to those who are waiting."
