Is there a way other than email to check whether I am still in the PGP pool? I have checked my email from Sept 1 - Oct 31 for both 2021 and 2022, none.

That is a tough question. I am pretty sure IRCC will pay more attention to your current income. If you provide a letter with it explaining that you are one more only in 2023 or 2022 , high chances they will accept . Usually its like you should meet the income requirement in each year.
It's not a tough question. It's specifically covered on the IRCC website. If the family size changed for one year due to the birth of a child, then the higher LICO applies for that year only.

I some times doubt that application is not even in their in pool. or stuck in some computer chip and not getting selected .

Whats fascinating is the income requirement are SO low.

Like how in the world can you support yourself on ~40K income much less 2+ other folks!

Completely contradicts the messaging where they're saying they dont want a burden on the system. Well someone making 40K is barely above minimum wage aka more likely to be a burden AND further make their nominees burden in the future.

Frustrated.

I would say at least 80k minimum if you are single, or 160k for a family size

Agree.

Also it rewards the folks who put in the effort to get to those income levels and demonstrate success in Canada.

In addition, the length of time someone has been a PR/Citizen should also factor. Else how do you differentiate between those who came earlier and have been waiting longer?

Perhaps, they thought parents will join the force or bring wealth upon settling i Canada.
