Ray of Hope - 88th Draw

[shahaed]

what are the various factors increasing the pool size?

A question on FBI PCC, has anyone got it done recently online? I got my report however it appears to be in black and white. Not sure when the hard copy will arrive. Can I go ahead and upload the black and white version they have provided with the ITA application?

The hard copy is also black and white and is no different from the emailed pdf.

what are the various factors increasing the pool size?

In my opinion, I think these are the factors:
1. Backlog cleared and feel like they can handle a lot more this year
2. Too much applications refused due to incompleteness, thus more ITAs to cover the lost. Or vice versa.
3. CIC has more human resources and money to handle applications
4. They are desperate to get more ppl to immigrate Canada
5. Employee's vacation is over, get back to work

 

[Chef-de-Bureau]

with people being relaxed of being rejected due to the medical inadmissibility the rejection rate on medical basis will decrease by around 75% & hence the total rejection rate will fall which in reflexes would allow CIC to attain their target without giving higher ITAS this year. Another reason is the flexibility of PCC that was announced last month will also lessen the rejection rate.

Henceforth, we are in a state of immense alarming situation and who knows what is going to happen in the coming days. The only good thing is the ita size of the last draw and lets hope we will see regular 3500 ita draws every fortnight from CIC and maybe a back to back draw every month at least for the next 3-4 months. People in the mid 430's will undoubtedly ll be the most vulnerable group this year........

What info do you have regarding the medical check? Is it being taken out, or has CIC mentioned that their "rules" on who can come in changes? Just wondering what you base this on.

Thanks for your insight dude. Looking at the last draw point I agree with the point 1, however, for point 2, can you explain how did you find out that lots of applications have been refused? also, Although I agree with point 3 & maybe with point 4 subtly too, how did you come to a conclusion that the employee was on a vacation and that is over now? If you can share the link maybe we can be on the same page. thanks

Hi everyone. I just wanna know if we can still apply in SINP even though our NOC is not part of the in-demand list? We do have close relatives who are citizens and residing in SK.
