Apparently, we have become pathetic people who keep our hopes up and make our doubts spill based by over-analysing twitter replies.
But what to do since no one knows what IRCC is planning.
Lol. Even if the twitter handle is mentioning about CEC/PNP draws, it is talking about the draws that took place. It clearly says they are not speculating on the future draws. This even indicates the twitter handle does not know what the next draw is going to be.

I really do think they are assessing the situation every two weeks. That could explain why they are not talking about FSW draws. They don't want to suspend the FSW draws.

My dear FSW friends, you could get lucky this week. If not, please keep your hopes high for the next one.

I also think the media team only follows a set of instructions when dealing with the public. I doubt they would be informed of what is coming next.

Hi,

I applied for Express entry in April 2020 with score of 471( as per the CRS calculator) and was invited to apply.
CELPIP score: 12 in reading and listening each, 8 in speaking and 10 in writing. Canadian work experience 1 year with Valid work permit but LMIA exempt.
I have 6 years experience in India, all experience in skill set A. I had applied with "Valid job offer in hand" criteria but since this was no longer valid in my case I withdrew the application.
Now when i re-apply in May, it doesn't calculate my Canadian experience and the education points are also not added and it gives me a score of 381. I reapplied and it says the profile is non eligible as i do not meet the Federal Skilled Worker and gives me 0 points. Has there been any change in rules?

The CRS calculator still gives me 471 but not the application. I tried reaching the customer care but no luck and the web form isn't of much use as they say I'm not eligible due to my info on file. Nothing concrete mentioned.

Is it possible that application rejects the work experience which is LMIA exempt? Is it mandatory to have a job offer in hand?

I think you must have skipped something or filled the information wrongly in any question. It can not happen with 6 years of work experience, you are scoring 381. Not possible. Please check your application thoroughly, if it seems okay then try to reconnect with IRCC customer care.
And application cannot reject your work experience (LMIA exempt).
You may check the criteria for CEC eligibility for confirming a mandatory job offer.

Man I bet the CECs are just twiddling their thumbs after all these comments thinking, "Just you wait..."
Well most FSW Candidates do not post any negative comments about CEC Candidates, we are just looking for an equal opportunity and look to anything that gives us a glimmer of hope for draws to return to normal. On the other hand here is a bunch of CEC Candidates that post there opinion of doom and gloom for FSW Candidates without any substantiated form of evidence or a credible source.

I think it has a lot to do with CEC candidates being younger than FSW candidates. It is hard to compete with those who have a Master's degree + more than three years of skilled work experience when you are barely out of school with your diploma. I feel people should look at their potential and keep working towards reaching it instead of hoping for the bar (CRS cut-off) to drop down to their current level.

May be you can give your full profile information so we can see what might be the problem. Like your age, education and NOC code, it might help the other members trouble shoot the issue.

Also you can try to withdraw your entire profile and create a new profile from scratch with a new email id, user name and see if you can enter the pool. Maybe something might have gone wrong with the profile and it cannot be used any more.
