There are thousands of EOI entries like this every year.Amid all the positivity of the forum currently, I see posts like this that make my blood boil.
a) Absolutely clear that they did not meet the criteria (posted in multiple places in big bold type),
b) Flat out lie on the EOI,
c) take up a spot someone else could have had (saw so many distraught people posting who were shut out this year),
d) Have the temerity to say "what's wrong with taking a chance...
Sheesh....
Then again, I guess that's why they accepted 27k applications, knowing there would be clowns like this.
This time round they did ask for identification eg passport. So I hope they put some red flag on these people for future applications.
No more "take a chance" and inconvenience everyone else waste resources and time please.
