Does anyone know when is the draw for the parent sponsorship raffle?

[deerestlovelybear]

i haven't received anything yet : : :

they may have filtered you out in their process to eliminate duplicate, maybe someone with same name and date of birth as you entered the pool

I hope not - i didnt enter any duplicate entries myself !

anyways - i am going to wait until May 8 - like they said and give them a call !!!

it would suck to know that I wasn't even entered in the pool

And just now i got an email from IRCC - i wasn't selected !!!

the wait is OVER !!

I was hoping to sponsor my parents in but got the rejection email today, hugely disappointing.

I wonder how many applications they got in total?

"Just over 95 000 people expressed their interest to sponsor their parent or grandparent."

So roughly a 1 in 10 chance, not the best odds...

Any one received email from the second round of Draw today?
