The right model is to send rejection first and let the peope accepted know later
Or just send everything at the same time.

The thing here is that in that press release they give the impression that EVERYONE has been notified on whether they are successful or not when they HAVE NOT!!!!

They are lying. It is deception.

I remember you. You made a lot of noise on the forum. Criticized CIC a lot. I guess I should have done the same.

INCOMPETENT CIC!!!!!

For a side note, from technical perspective, there is no differentiation based on where you are located and which timezone you are in.
Which email provider that you use may matter, but it only matter whether it goes to spam or inbox.

This is based on the assumption that IRCC does not do any trick on their email distribution system filtering and sending emails per location etc, and it is unless otherwise they have multiple systems all over the places to send batches of emails separately (which I doubt).
The batch system will fetch email address and send email. Simple as it is.

For 100,000 emails, it is a lot, but if you think about it, it is really not that much to take up to few days to completely send all emails unless otherwise they do it manually.

There is no point of asking where, or which emails you are using.

From what we observe, they sent out the batch email around 7~8AM PST, and not heard any further emails. And no rejection email in that batches.
Let's figures crossed, and wait until we hear something new.

Yes, I did. No big deal, they didn't include the sponsor's name on the first email so sent an update along with the apology.

Yeah, I just saw on the other post that invitation was received around two hours ago.
It looks like invitation emails are still being sent out, but there is no sign of rejection so far.

Batch of 10,000 emails may take up to few hours, so let's pray and wait.

I am not too sure about that one. He didn't specifically say what time he got it. He might have just checked it "just now" if you get what I mean.

CIC should in their press release give some information about how applicants are notified. Eg over the next few days all applicants will be notified. Successful applicants will be notified first followed by unsuccessful applicants.

Something like that. And they said they wanted this process to be more transparent than the last. What rubbish!

Yes, I agree. Other than that email, it looks like most of emails were received in between 7AM ~ 10AM EST according to this forum. Haven't heard anything else where they received anywhere noon or something.
