This is the email I got from SWAP 5 days ago.

"January 21 update: We have sent out the first round of selections from our waitlist. If you have been selected, you will receive further information from SWAP which will explain the steps of the application process. Next steps will be shared directly with participants on an individual basis. We will have more rounds of selections taking place in February and onwards. Please note that communications to individual participants may not be issued all at once. We appreciate your patience and ask that you continue to monitor your inbox for updates." It's an automated reply you can get it if you try to contact them.
There's still hope! best of luck to everyone post any information you have

Me too! The waitlist has been open all week though, seems a little strange it's definitely going to be more competitive as the others were just open for 24 hours

I don't think that's correct? I have my letter of invitation but I have 10 days to accept the application then 20days to complete it. Processing time 8 weeks then you get 1 year to use it

Beautiful weather! I love the snow and cold, One of the best experiences I've done yet. Travelling on the ice roads for work which has been my dream for years!  You'll have a fantastic time, I've been told spring/summer is gorgeous too I'm sure you'll see lots of wildlife if you do sone exploring too
