The article says:
"IRCC said those interested in sponsoring their parents and / or grandparents in the 2019 will have to complete
an Interest to Sponsor form online at the beginning of the year."
Why will we still need to complete the form in 2019? If it's back to first come, first served, then why can't we just submit the application whenever we can?
Also, there is nothing about canceling the lottery on the official CIC website. It still says "we randomly select potential sponsors"

Could you clarify?
