Yes you are correct but just for year 2020/2021 income

Also, family class sponsors will be able to count these benefits in their income calculations for the 2020 and 2021 tax years:
- regular Employment Insurance benefits (rather than just special Employment Insurance benefits)
- any Canada Emergency Response Benefits issued under the
- Employment Insurance Act or
- Canadian Emergency Response Benefit Act
- other temporary COVID-19 related benefits
- as long as they’re not part of provincial social assistance programs

Ya I know that, I was just pointing that out because LICO was mentioned a few times here, but it’s not really that relevant to the discussion
Welp ! I thought IRCC was going to sent out 28,500 invitations for 2023 as mentioned in their 2023-2025 Immigration Levels Plan. But 24,200 invitations for 2023 is also good, at least it's already more than 2022 (23,100 invitations). Just dont know how long it will take to clear all 132,213 Sigh !
Invitations are different than approvals. IRCC is accepting up to 15k which means the 40% who get an invite are not eligible (eg. not meeting LICO or passing medical). That is quite high. A new government could change everything too but if they clear the pool then 5+ years.
I seriously don't think it's the right idea to completely empty out the pool before reopening. There are just too many reasons why someone who showed interests back in 2020 is not interested to do that in say 5 years...are the family members still alive and well to settle in a new country? May be they moved to another country where they got other relatives? are the sponsors still living in Canada/may got a job in the states or wherever? Just not really realistic if you ask me
And then the Conservatives may just scrap the PGP program due to feelings about immigration and healthcare.
Conservatives want an employer-driven immigration system. Don’t think the Conservatives are focused on bringing parents to Canada when many are not going to work and enter the workforce. Political parties can put a spin on any issue and promise many things but it doesn’t mean it will ever come to fruition.
Wonder how many in the PGP pool are PRs, and cannot vote In a federal election.
What percentage chance do those in the pool have this year to be picked? I’ve been waiting since 2020.
My parents are currently in Canada since 2019. Had applied for the 2nd visitor extension this past august. Just saw that IRCC only appoved it for my mom (dads is still pending). Why aren’t they both approved at the same time? On top of that they only approved it till next October when I had requested a two year extansion( they qualify since they’re on the supervisa )

You do realize that the majority of people that can vote have absolutely no connection or anything to gain from the PGP program even operating ?
The LPC are also very aware that there polling numbers are so down. One of the reasons is there immigration policies
Well if there are around 120,000 in the pool and selecting around 25,000 then you do the math. Extensions do not have to processed at the same time. Each parent has a separate application.
