2017 Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship

[deerestlovelybear]

It is hard to believe CIC is that much incompetent. I am sure they know and understand all these problems with current lottery system and it was all accounted for. CIC obviously did not plan to fully evaluate 10000 applications in 2017 as it would require lots of time and resources. It would take just minutes to reject most applications based on income and free up resources to clear the backlog or for other programs. However, increasing the cap from 5000 to 10000 looks so good on paper for public, but in reality...you know. I am looking forward to seeing the report with numbers of successful 2017 PGP applications and comparing it with previous years.

It is a dirty tactic to reduce the number of intakes while still showing that they increase the quota from 5000 to 10000.

Actually it is a tactic to boom up CIC's KPI. They can put it in this way in their performance report: In 2017, 950000 PGP applications were screened and processed.

People are just throwing out made up conspiracy theories.

My theory on this whole thing, is the liberal immigration department was just very foolish to push this lottery through as quick as they did. I think it was plain stupidity that resulted in this mess, not some conspiracy to reduce the backlog and limits eligible apps this year.

In an effort to score some points on the campaign platform promises (and to appease some of those complaining about Syrian refugees), the Liberal caucus threw out a directive to IRCC that they didn't want to hear any complaints about "first come, first serve" this year. Not very well thought out and a last minute adjustment that went bad......That's what happens when you let politicians make policy choices based on popularity.
