Really hope they will start all program draws as early as 8th of July or atleast by 23rd of July. On a side note, Australia is kind of stopd giving invitation to any kind of skilled visa and New Zealand currently suspended their draws. Only thing i see wide open is Pubs in UK
Regardless, let's hope that CIC will not play with the feelings of 20,000+ people sitting above crs 450s and dig deep into <430s....

CEC Candidates with Canadian college degree are hoping there is no FSW draw so that they receive ITA with 420
If the CEC draws continue (I know they won’t) points will drop only till 415. This was the lowest the draw ever reached. It indicates an undergrad with CLB 7 and 1 year of Canadian work experience. If the person is between 21-29 years of age.
All we can do right now is hope, unfortunately.
I'm not very hopeful for this Wednesday's. I'm really starting to believe they'll only re-open FSW once IELTS and WES return to their full capacity, and, most importantly, the availability of flights.
Yet, I really hope we can see a FSW this week. If that happens, there's a feasible chance for FSW's in the 465-475+ range. If the CECs continue for the followings weeks, up until the IELTS/WES return to normal operation, then EE will probably become totally unreachable to anyone below 475, I suspect.

Never say never. The plan might be to push it to 400 and re-evaluate. Then, they can decide whether or not to resume the all programs draws.
Feelings aren't a factor in IRCC's decisions; their job is to deliver a safe and effective system that meets Canada's economic and public health needs. Immigration is a privilege, not a right. Although you can argue candidates invited now wouldn't be landing for several months, we don't know what the situation will be like then either.
The virus is currently surging in places where tons of applicants live (the US, India, etc.) while Canada has flattened the curve by keeping its borders tightly guarded. Australia and NZ are among the few developed countries to have done even better in this regard, and as you note they're not welcoming many new people.
You're free to hope for an FSW draw on the 9th, but don't count on one. Personally, I would like to see a special draw for inland FSW candidates, who are the biggest losers of the CEC-only trend.
Start of an important week, my current Crs score is 474 and I lose 5 points on 18th July for age, touch and go situation for me! Hope we see a fsw draw soon! Best of luck guys!
Do not say that mate. Years of hard work might go down the drain. I'm still hopeful looking at this
Many here have already lost on age, IELTS, money, and others. IRCC does not owe anything to us but at least those guys can show some sympathy and at least inform us of their plan or stand on FSW draw.
My cousin has informed that some CEC candidates are getting fake work exp certificates in full swing to ensure that they are not missing out on anything
There is a set amount and an illegal agency as well that can give work exp certificate, pay slip, tax form and other docs at a standard cost from a sub-standard company. They will eventually get ITAs and eventually get PR.
IRCC is very very well aware of all these fake documentation and certificates but still, they wanna safeguard CECs as a whole.
They should also understand (possibly they would have) that issuing an ITA does not bring anyone to Canada right away but might take months of processing.
They should also realize that there are FSW inland ppl that are losing their statuses simultaneously and at least for that IRCC can reveal their plan for FSW or give an approximate time frame to the best.
Anyway, their country their wish. God save FSWs if an all program draw does not happen this July.
Great. If that's the case then why Canada has recently announced that they will process Student Visas, TRV, Spousal Visas, Tourist Visa, and others?
As per logic, students too must have not been permitted to travel but IRCC is now fast-tracking student visas (from India, Philippines, Pakistan, and other similar countries).
Read the below link and this is really a huge confidence boost

After 4 months' time, something refreshing like the above is really boosting the confidence of many. Plus, as per the recent interview of the immigration minister, he quoted that while the US denies entry, Canada will work on welcoming SKILLED WORKERS from OVERSEAS. Recent Trudeau's interview too (about the situation in Hong Kong) highlights that they will work on welcoming people from many pathways such as EE.
Although I cannot completely rely on this and jump into any conclusion, I feel that all these points to an FSW draw on July 8 or July 22.
Also, if they do not wanna welcome people until WES/IELTS resumes, then they do not have to invite CECs but rather just extend their work permit applications. Anyway, let us see what's down the line (in 3 days exactly from now)
