PGP 2025
- Thread starter blxfrost

My expectation is more than 10k if they expect to process 10k.
Historically, some that submitted interest to sponsor did not apply or were not qualify to apply.
So they usually draw more than 10k to get 10k applications.
Yes but there is a backlog of files which is why the draw was supposed to be paused in 2025. The fact that press release said up to 10k, the fact that there wasn’t supposed to be a draw in 2025 and the lower quotas for the next 3 years makes me wonder IRCC will only draw 10k. Still think this announcement is very strange after the pause announced in January. Still suspect this may be election related since IRCC is aware that PGP is a huge voting issue is some ridings. Now that LPC is in play again I wonder if the pause may have been reassessed.
Probably 10% - 20% more as IRCC target to get 10,000 "completed" applications. As in all the past years, they've always send more invitation, for example, 2024 was 32,000 - 33,000 invitation to get 30,000 completed application...
Normally I would agree but we had 2 draws in a year and there is a significant backlog with lower quotas. The pause that was announced in January was supposed to reduce the backlog without adding more applications so what changed? Do they really need more than 10k new applications given the volume of applications already waiting for processing. We’ll have to wait and see.
