Received invitation for an English-proficiency interview (20 mins with 2 English evaluators). Anyone heard about this or got similar emails?

To respond to the question: The response was: "I am sorry to say that all interview invitations have been sent out. Once again it is extremely competitive and we are limited in terms of openings with budgets being cut after the pandemic" - not sure if it applies to the whole program :/ Initials: PF

Reached out to PI - said all interview invites have gone out already. Budget cuts due to pandemic - so less spots.
