PGP 2025

The sad thing is that people invited in 2024 will take 33 months to get COPR.

Not sad since parents who get selected for PGP are still incredibly lucky even if processing is around 3 years. Canada can’t even care for its existing seniors so any parent being sponsored is very lucky. Although Canada can’t actually absorb them they are still going ahead with PGP but with a smaller yearly quota.

Got what ya saying... But after 14 years of waiting would make anyone being anxious a bit about their validity... Even worse, when there is no one in the pool and you are not invited!!! Human error exist everywhere these days
IRCC could make a tool to check if your number are still in the pool, in my personal opinion, not a big issue

There are plenty of people still in the pool though.

Not sure where the 35k number come from.
They will draw little over 10k and then they expect that 10k will apply.
The 10k applications will be processed and if the application is approved or not for PR depends on if they meet the requirement.
LICO, pass medical, security, background check.

Likely more like 15k since many insist on having their application processed but don’t meet basic requirements like LICO. The applications selected in 2025 will likely be in line for landing in 2027+ given backlog of applicants and reduced quotas.

Ok, what I meant is, for 2024 the draw is around 35k and IRCC said 20k ish will become PR. So for 2025, I am thinking what will be the total number of the draw and how many will become PR.

Remember we had 2 draws in a year and there is a backlog of applications waiting for processing which is why IRCC was not planning to have a draw in 2025. They likely don’t even need a draw to meet the quotas for 2025 and 2026 because of the backlog. May be able to even make it until 2027. Unclear how many applications will get selected just that it will be at least 10k. It partially depends on why they are doing the draw given that they had announced wasn’t necessary because they wanted to address the backlog 2 months earlier. As already mentioned have a sneaking suspicion this is more politics than anything although just my theory. Also IRCC not always known for logical decisions.
