Anyone knows how many days this invitation round will be finished?

Probably they are sending invitation throughout this week as per their tweet

".............We encourage those who submitted interest to sponsor forms in the fall of 2020 to check their email accounts regularly throughout the week. "

Today we began sending invitations to apply for the 2020 Parents and Grandparents Program. We encourage those who submitted interest to sponsor forms in the fall of 2020 to check their email accounts regularly throughout the week. pic.twitter.com/R7MG8tbI3M

chance of getting a lottery < 10%

no place to check status?

Not a good way to run a lottery.

Have you ever heard of any lottery where the results are published slowly over a couple of days after the lottery has been drawn?

NHL draft pick lottery?

Lotto Max?

incompetence or fishy?

Both.

I have never liked the lottery system as a means to determine PGP eligibility. Totally trivializes the program. Treats people sponsoring parents like a game.

To rub salt into wounds they do the lottery in a unprofessional way which no other lottery would approve of. All draws are usually done in public for transparency and result made known immediately to prevent fraud and tampering.

Not so with the PGP lottery. Amazing.

did you submit form on first day?

Looks like there's some sequence to the randomness. I submitted on the last day. If they're sending out invites in batches in the order of date of submission, it will be a nerve-wracking next few days for me, lol.

Also, how come folks' confirmation numbers start with a letter? Mine is only numeric.

Our life is a game for them. Have been in Canada for 10 years now, couldn't sponsor my parents till date.
