Guys, I have gone through the full 279 pages of this forum. Honestly the more you stick to this issue, the harder you make it for yourselves. Just leave it on its own. There is this saying in my culture that "the harder you try to hold the soap, the faster it escapes from your hands". Before I create my profile a few months ago, my friend who is already in Canada told me that just register to the system and leave it. Go live your life, and if they sent you an email that you are selected, go for it and submit your documents and once again, go back to live your life until they let you enter Canada. I do realize what those who say can't make a decision for their lives feel, but you have to understand that this is not the same as applying for university or a job offer that follows a clear and timed path. To me, it kinda feels like the lottery now, although this system is by far more logical and predictable, still I believe one should not put a pause on his life waiting for draws or receiving ITAs.
