As per the mandate they need more blue collared / health care workers so mayb not so good for tech also

Google c19 and m44 mandates

Yes, it would take time they need to consult stakeholders, a public consultation process and also they have to get written submissions from the stakeholders.

Yeah I agree, also listening to Sean Fraser’s recent interview, he seemed to suggest there wasn’t a solid plan in place yet but nonetheless they wanted to have this option to invite people based on occupation so they took the chance to put it in the budget bill to get it passed fast. I do think they are fairly sure they need more healthcare workers and Francophones so I can see having specific draws in July to target those, but if that happens I think there would be separate all program non-specific draws for the rest of the candidates too. We’ll see soon

Yeah that could be true.
Although... Sean Fraser was recently at the huge Collision conference (the biggest Canadian tech conference) and they seem to have some sort of interest in tech so maybe it could be good for technologists?

I think he cannot/will not target anyone befote consulting stakehllders.

I'm pretty sure IRCC will have final say on which NOCs to invite, but the main bodies that will inform which NOCs to target are StatsCan, ESDC & the provinces.

Yeah for sure.
Sean posted this a while ago about tech:

Canada is among the world’s top destinations for talent, and immigration is a driving force behind the boom in our tech sector.

And seeing him at Collision gives me some hope

Well he tweeted this today and it looks like it will be a general draw. He also said somewhere that C19 doesnt change the existing system but adds on top of it, so they could still do general draws in future and may be invite some category based when needed.

All the best everyone!

I know the link above says 2pm-4pm ET but from the past rounds it actually seems like 2pm - 4pm UTC which is 9am - 12pm ET

Indeed, they did the draw before noon. But they only selected 1500 people. The cut off was 557 points.
