Hey! I stay away from making predictions, as I have none of us outside IRCC have any idea what will happen week to week. My hope is that it will be a general draw. Things are opening up around the world economically, borders are opening, people are getting work again, and many countries are managing the COVID transmission rates very well.
It's been over 3 months since the last general draw, as we know. Some candidates like myself have all their paperwork ready to use right now for an application and just need a chance to be drawn. And because of our IELTS, education, work experience, etc. we're economically viable to give back to Canada once we're eventually allowed to enter after application processing.
So, because it will still take many months to process any ITAs issued today, and because of what I've seen happen with the high 400 CRS pools filling up the longer no FSW draws are done, I hope that the Govt of Canada allows us all to compete in an all-stream general draw today that includes FSW candidates. It's been a long wait, and I hope today brings good news for FSWs.
