PGP 2020

So they put people in batches?

Maybe first week go into pool 1. How many divide by total number of applications x 100. Then they is the percentage of spots for that draw. Then next day for next week.

I think they just sent out the email in batches. May be in the ordered when the random selection was generated. So again, random batches.
As some have suggested, IRCC is probably trying to avoid overloading traffic and the email being considered as spam by some mail services.

Sorry!!! I’m in the same boat. Still hoping and awaiting THE Email

I’m in the same boat too. I told myself I would check at 9:30 am 12:30 pm and 3:30 pm. Only 3:30 is remaining. If no email by then, then no pgp 2020 for me

When I applied in 2017, I got email of refusal on the Day of lottery and game over. Much better than this whole waiting game.

They now go through the list Before selecting because some committed fraud and used multiple email addresses.

Dose anyone know if Quebec residences were eligible for this draw? I mean it doesn’t say they are not eligible but has any one who applied from QC have been invited?

Hi,
I got the invitation on January 5th at 4.45 pm EST Montreal

Only one pool since it is a complete lottery. Didn’t matter when you applied.

Hello Everyone,

For the people who still didn’t receive any invitations for PGP 2020 today, are there still hope? I mean you might stil received an invitation later today and this weekend?

Thank you

Sorry to say but I don’t think it’s 10 days. See this link:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...oZ8ds6K6C3kzLg9pQMdiy-4FPmGRLB0qbwMoo1dPblVeA

This link is from Canada.ca and it says check for emails throughout the week. It doesn’t say 10 days.

Canada.ca says Throughout THE week, not throughout THIS week.
May be there is some hope in THE WEEK that they will be continuing to invite next week as well. Whereas if it was THIS WEEK, then it would be ending this week.

Quebec controls it's own immigration like a totally separate country from Canada. But for PGP you need to win the PGP lottery before applying to Quebec.

Thats an incorrect statement to make. Quebec has QNP like any other province, but yes, its a slightly different process. At the end all applications will be processed by the Feds. Quebec has always asked for more autonomy on immigration process, but its been DENIED! Quebec residents still have to go through lottery system for parent sponsorship.

It happens every year when it's a lottery. People wants to find the trend and the pattern of who get picked.
If it's truely random, there is no pattern to be found.

Seems like more people are "picked" from first day when interest to sponsor was opened. It's because more people submitted their form on the first day.

Not true I applied first day within 10 minutes and was not selected yet.

I received my Invite an hour before.
First-time applicant/PR in 2019/Applicaiton ID : 5E****** /Applied on Oct13th end of the day.

Just curious that if you become PR in 2019, how many years of tax you filed till now?

The government doesn't work on the weekend, maybe next week.

Yes they still need to go through lottery system. But income requirements and other eligibility is slightly different from what I have read.

So it is unique and different within Canada. Whereas is the same for everyone else in Canada.

So confused after looking at all of your confirmation number format, mine does not match with any
Mine is AAAA1A1-11 where A is letter and 1 is number

any of you have this kind of format for their confirmation number?

Tracker Admin, I was trying to enter my sponsor info and made 2 mistakes. Can you please correct these:
1. Please delete live 33, entered by me
2. I did not receive invitation but by mistake it got entered as Jan 8. Please remove the invitation date.

sorry for the confusion.

I tried but it didn’t work. Once you enter a date or a line, you just can’t delete it. So I just changed my invitation date to Oct 30, 3020 and made the no of sponsored personnel to 0
