I'm sorry to ask that, but, what do you mean by a verbal ITA?
I know what it means, gramatically speaking, but, is there really such a thing?
I even looked at their website and there's no mention of that.
Did they give you instructions on what documents to send, which email address to write to? Stuff like that...?
Did they ask you personal stuff as, age, intended NOC code, IELTS scores, proof of funds?
It sounds a little "fishy" and weird, as their whole process is based on their EOI. It's the reason they have those info sessions. So they can kind of narrow down which people they will invite to apply, using their EXPRESSION OF INTEREST system. Otherwise, there's no reason whatsoever to have that 2 page pdf file to filled out and sent to them.
If it is some sort of "special" stream for X country, could you please share where this is information is listed at?
