Welcome on board.
1. 2171 is relatively less in demand, only 10% cap has been filled by application received till 8th May. in-flow of apps slowed down gradually after that, so hopefully u will be able to make it.
2. U already have done major tasks/expense, now all u have to lose other than the opportunity is courier fee, so try ur level best. Make sure u r ready with exp letter before u get ECA so no extra time is wasted. To save lot of time (if u r not from US), what u can do is get ur ECA fwd to a friend in Canada and in the meantime u also send him ur app, and then he can post locally. It will save u at least 8 days (4-5 days of ECA receipt and then 4-5 days app )
3. The official link is @@@@@@ but it reflects only the apps for which PER has been issued. CUrrenty its as of 8th May and few 9th may. U can also check the latest status (including in transit apps) and estimates of cap fill (which i think is sometimes after sept for 2171) on group maintained Spread Sheet, which conservatively represents around 20% of global apps. The link is ******/FSW14-Spreadsheet .
All the best!!!
Thats what I wanted to hear. I have my sister as PR in Toronto. Good point. i might as well leverage and save 8 days on that. Thanks for your reply.
