PGP 2020

[nayr69sg]

I just had a crazy thought. Can I submit ITA for 2021 PGP lottery? See if I win? That would be cool. But it woul take up a spot someone would actually need.

I could say I misunderstood and thought it was for some post graduate program (PGP)

It looks like the CBC news was going to be right... they said about 10 days... since 5 of Jan.
By next Monday if there isn't tracking tool available, it's GAME ON...

When I applied in 2017, I got email of refusal on the Day of lottery and game over. Much better than this whole waiting game.

Sorry to say but I don’t think it’s 10 days. See this link:

This link is from Canada.ca and it says check for emails throughout the week. It doesn’t say 10 days.

Dose anyone know if Quebec residences were eligible for this draw? I mean it doesn’t say they are not eligible but has any one who applied from QC have been invited?

I saw an invitation from Quebec. The tracker also shows one invitation received from Montreal

Sorry my bad. The tracker shows Manitoba not Montreal.

Quebec controls it's own immigration like a totally separate country from Canada. But for PGP you need to win the PGP lottery before applying to Quebec.

Quebec is included in the PGP draw just like any other province. There is no separate PGP program for Quebec.

Oh yeah it says "IRCC is encouraging those who submitted interest to sponsor forms in the fall of 2020 to check their email accounts regularly throughout the week" Oh my...

It happens every year when it's a lottery. People wants to find the trend and the pattern of who get picked.
If it's truely random, there is no pattern to be found.

Seems like more people are "picked" from first day when interest to sponsor was opened. It's because more people submitted their form on the first day.

Yep, I applied within 5 minutes of the form opening. I'm sure there were others like me.

Tracker Admin, I was trying to enter my sponsor info and made 2 mistakes. Can you please correct these:
1. Please delete live 33, entered by me
2. I did not receive invitation but by mistake it got entered as Jan 8. Please remove the invitation date.

sorry for the confusion.

So they put people in batches?

Maybe first week go into pool 1. How many divide by total number of applications x 100. Then they is the percentage of spots for that draw. Then next day for next week.
