Not sure. From other thread, people who got selected in the first round already received their SA and decision made on the e-cas (whatever meaning).Congratulations! That's awesome. How long does it take from winning the lottery to COPR?

You haven't heard anything yourself?Not sure. From other thread, people who got selected in the first round already received their SA and decision made on the e-cas (whatever meaning).
Except CIC sent us a letter requested some notarized documents that we submitted a month ago.You haven't heard anything yourself?
1 Sure they can go back to FIFO and with the quota, you would be waiting about 15 years before your parents arrived.Not selected in 2018, my parents now have to wait for another year, if there is another year.
I can't point out how a lottery is not fair just for its way of random selection, but lottery is unfair consider we have been eligible for a long time, that we would probably already reunite without the lottery, i.e. FIFO. FIFO - a system closer to merit-based, not hard to understand, right? Lottery also favor parents of more than one child, who can get multiple chance if all their children willing to sponsor, but that's side notes.
And also, given 2017 data, people ineligible are trying in the lottery game - will find out soon how many chosen lucky ones not applying this year. At least, one change need to be made is that all lottery participants are required to submit income pre-clearance at lottery stage (not just asking question), and pay 500 application fee (non-refundable if found cheating or not applying after been chosen). Ineligible cheater, once found, should be banned for years, in a blacklist.
Like many lottery system, participant (paid and eligible ones) should get better weight in random selection year over year, it is another way to better balance the system.
No, that's the fake news, It was two years for my in-law to come and we used Canada Post on Dec 30 to mailed out, there is no courier lottery, no significant line up.HI

It's not fake news, it was where the program was heading under old FIFO system with no caps on submissions, but quotas on how many parents can get PR per year. Since there would be more apps received than PRs granted, you don't need to be a mathematician to know this would result in backlog increasing every single year. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/archives/backgrounders-2013/action-plan-faster-family-reunification.htmlNo, that's the fake news, It was two years for my in-law to come and we used Canada Post on Dec 30 to mailed out, there is no courier lottery, no significant line up.
There wasn't really a decade line-up because there weren't too many ABUSE the system.
Definitely not fake news. Just a few short years ago (pre application cap) there were tons of people on this forum who had been waiting 9+ years. It wasn't at all unusual - downright normal.No, that's the fake news, It was two years for my in-law to come and we used Canada Post on Dec 30 to mailed out, there is no courier lottery, no significant line up.

Nobody knows, they will determine themselves depending on how many applications they will actually receive.How many draw are they going to do?
Yes. And sorry for a late reply, but by now you probably already know the answer. If not, you can find if you were selected here:Am I suppose to receive an email stating that I successfully or not selected to sponsor?
The web site has a number of factual errors.
Example.
All applications were not accepted. Only the lucky few who, with geographic or financial advantage, were able to get to the head of the limited number of accepted applicants.
1. ?? The whole point of a lottery is that it is impartial and gives everyone the same chance.1. Errors no errors, point is do you agree with basic concern, thta the lottery system is highly partial ?
2. There might be many potentail future ponsors of parents who might have agreed on the lottery system, but would only understand the actual issue when they would keep applying with no positive outcome whatsoever.
3. I understand that the first come first serve method was unfair for someone who was far away than the folks near one, but then during those days I never heard anyone who got rejected, for sure there would have been many cases, but I never heard of one in my circle, since this lottery system, I barely hear anyone getting accepted.
4. I have been appling since two years, I am paying tremendous amount of money to the insurance company so that I can keep my parents with me without any worries, I pay hell lot of taxes, perhaps for those who already have gotten selected in the first attmept or who would get selected in their future attempts.
5. The lottery system should go that is it.
Not discounting your contributions, but I pay a hell of a lot of taxes too, and don’t feel like paying any more to support social programs already at their limit. Unless parents are going to contribute 20 or 30 years of taxes to the system, I’m quite happy with how it works now.
