The fact is no one can predict what IRCC is going to do. There is no point challenging each other over this. I believe the whole purpose of this thread is to keep hope alive. Although I participate very less, I see some fantastically optimistic people here and in all honesty, I love them.Why disrespect each other? I believe most of us are not native English speakers, are we? So what, if someone types incorrect spelling? or imperfect grammar? And by the way, There is no difference in meaning between offence and offense. They're exactly the same in all their definitions. The difference is that offense is the preferred spelling in American English, while offence is preferred in British, Indian, Canadian, and Australian English. Let's not belittle each other. At the same time, thank you to all of you who take the time to work with numbers and come up with your predictions. But those are only "predictions".
