Most posting or complaining seem to be unaware that getting selected within one to 2 years of applying for PGP is extremely unusual. Getting selected after 4+ years/attempts is normal. There will always be more applicants than spots. Canada can’t absorb anymore seniors and they can’t absorb anywhere close to the amount who want to come to Canada. I see many suggesting that there should be 50k invitations not 23k. The documents that IRCC puts out leads to a false assumption that people will be able to sponsor their parents after 3 years in Canada and that sponsorship is guaranteed. It would be much better if Canada clarified that parent sponsorship was not guaranteed and that a realistic time frame for parents to receive PR is around 10 years. Many are also unaware that processing time is around 3 years for many so although selected many still have a long wait to go. If Canada was upfront potential immigrants could make a more educated decision when determining whether immigration to Canada was the right option for their family. They would also have plans in place in case their parent(s) didn’t get selected for sponsorship or didn’t qualify (often due to medical reasons). Parent sponsorship with access to public healthcare is extremely uncommon throughout the world.

There is no trend. People collected this same data last year and it didn’t help predict who got selected and when they’d be notified. It is random so all you can do is wait and see.

Ok I was trying to figure out if there is a trend, last year they selected one series fully and nothing from other series, like my confirmation starts BCXXXXD-20.
Nothing got selected from whole series. I checked when they posted the online tool after draw.

It is extremely scary to see how low the LICO is especially given how much the cost of living has risen. It was very low to begin with but is is not ridiculously low. There are increased expenses as people age and many things are not covered by things like the medical system. If you just meet LICO it will be hard to pay for things like incontinence supplies, mobility aids, hearing aids (usually only partially covered), basic things like increased cost of housing and utilities, etc.
