It's not. It's still at the discretion of CRS.
What use doesn't need to be approved? OTP? You can use that whenever you want.

And if you're using OTP because it's going to expire instead of picking up trips via AVA you're retarded.

I'm watching tons of trips go at straight time when people are getting AVA. Crazy!

Are you sober? All you did was repeat what I said about OTP…. that it doesn't need to be approved, unlike AVA

Also, I disagree with you about the OTP usage vs AVA and your observation proves my point: if trips are being picked at straight time (your words) then someone with OTP that's expiring soon would have an even greater incentive to grab a trip to burn their OTP bank- in other words, if open trips frequently aren't lasting until the AVA eligibility window (again, your observation) then the choice between using OTP vs getting another +25% at AVA doesn't even exist.

Bet the guy who used his OTP feels silly right about now. And the amount of trips picked up more then 7 days out is embarrassing.
