No I meant end. They will be glad when PG 2019 is over and done with. They have been getting the same daily questions since December. First it was when the information would be posted, then it was when would the draw be, the day after the FIFO people were asking when the invitations would be sent out. The social media person has no idea so there is no point in asking. The poor person posted this message today. “ Please note that we have not yet sent invitations to submit applications for parents and grandparents sponsorship in 2019. Stay tuned – we will update our website and social media channels when invitations start going out. Thanks for your patience”. If they posted the day they were sending out invitations someone would ask how long until they got AOR or how long they expect processing time to be or when would the application that are leftover will be notified. Given that 2018 income is required for most applications makes sense that it would be after the tax deadline which is what many have tried to point out.
People have been calling CIC and tweeting and emailing daily since January 22nd probably right after the online FIFO. The constant asking hasn’t made CIC give out the date so think people should take a break from asking and just be patient. They will only announce when they want to announce and they will post it. If anything I would think CIC won’t want to deal with all the aggravation next year.
