Oh OK, with you.
But again I think that is a bit hit and miss, it only took 2 weeks to get decision successful and another 2 weeks to received the ITA (I think it had sat on someones desk for ages looking at the varius date stamps on it). Sorry I guess we are maybe the exception to the rule going through so quickly.
I think that the only certainty is that if there 2 similar applications then the one with the job offer will definitely be selected first.
What I am saying is that I think that there are more influencing factors to which one is selected than just the job application, yes the job is the biggie, but there are others.
I think our application when through fairly quickly to the ITA stage because my job came up on all the skills shortages list and an identified cluster and I think that bumped us up the queue quickly. Of course I could be completely wrong as this is only a gut feeling.
btw take this post more as a musing than anything else.
