A Word About Preferences |
Your
rank on the waiting list is determined by the total preference points claimed by
you and your household. Your rank changes every time a new application is added to the waiting list.
When your name rises to the top of the waiting list you will receive a letter to
submit proof of all preferences claimed.
Your “status” on the waiting list is active or
not active. Due to the daily fluctuation of the waiting list as a result of our
preference point system we are unable to provide you with your position on the
