Not so much many rejected but many will not apply because you have to commit $$$ by paying when you apply.why will there be many going to be rejected....
why are you guys so certain there will be second round...
bonus question: do you know what does the validated barcode does?
The FIFO system is an upgrade on the lottery but the same problem is still there. There is no commitment required to submit the EOI. It is free. You can even make false declarations on your income.
So it is open to abuse. This year IRCC asked for identification as proof of Canadian residency. But it looks like they didnt bother to cross reference this. I am guessing they wont screen till they receive applications.
Good move. Cos why do work when no one is paying?
So there are literally thousands of people who submitted EOI and got ITA who either do not meet LICO or are not even Canadian residents.
The barrier to entry for EOI is literally zero.
Just watch. There will be another call for EOIs in August.
