Ray of hope - FSW - 1

[Mandeep1989]

If we had current scores 2 years or a year ago, we would have already been canadian PR holders i am waiting at 468 since a year and half

Yh mate , even I m thinking of taking the study route if the situation remain the same , fed up with this waiting thing

This year has been so unpredictable. This covid and no FSW draws for months and now US's H1B affecting us who have enough score to fetch the ITA.

How come people with such high scores are added in bulk. I mean the score has to drop because not everyone can have IELTS clb 10 or masters or phd 3 years work ex and age below 30 as well as connection to canada. I am hoping the score to be 468 some where around mid November. Fingers crossed

sad but that has been the trend since the tightening of US immigration policy. Lots of people with H1B / STEM OPT are probably tired of the immigration policy in US and apply to Canada now. And a lot of them have master degree + 2-3 yr of work experience + good IELTS score.. considering each year there are more than 200k applications for H1B lottery, i dont think it is hard to believe a portion (even a small portion) are entering the EE pool and is inflating the curve.

I was somehow hoping for a draw today even though I saw from the recent trend it was very unlikely. Entered the pool on Oct.1st with 472, but I will apply for re-evaluation of my speaking test (up to 475) if I miss the next cutoff.

Hopefully it's good for everyone.

The truth is that, if biweekly draw continues, scores will continue to drop. Lets keep hope alive and hopefully a B2B draw before December or in December, it will further drop the CRS. But scores might not be funny next year.

What do you mean? Do you think it will become really low?

The pool will stabilize at some point though because the demand is way higher than it used to be and IRCC is loving it but we can't blame them.

No one knows

First, remember that people with Canadian Experience can get 470+ with way fewer atributes. Based on the 2019 report, the latest 2019 draws had more CEC than FSWs invited.
Also, Canada is the #1/#2 country in the world when it comes to standards of living, it's the most opened country (by far) to welcome immigrants, I'm actually surprised the scores haven't increased even more. I got my ITA with 508, and would be willing to improve it even further if necessary to make sure I would get my PR.

People, if you're seating at 465-470, why haven't you started learning french yet? Seriously.
I went from 469 (in December 2019) to 475 (in March 2020) just by learning that magical skill.

@ZAtoCD how many updates post MEP and BIL ?

Hey! Do you mean how many updates are there in the application process? Or how many have I received?

My profile updated to say they'd received my biometrics. Now I'm waiting for eligibility confirmed, and then background check complete. Then there's a final review, and PPR.

I work in an E-commerce b2b service company . We have different levels of services for promotion of business and i work as Assistant Manager in sales. Can somebody suggest me a NOC code.? My duties are matching with 6221 noc code which is technical sales. But i am confused whether E-commerce service sales comes under technical sales or not. However, our company has its own web portal and application. And we have different level of services of promotion on our site for SMEs and Corporates, and promote their catalogs. So please suggest can i apply for NOC-6221 or any other NOC code for it.
Its an Indian e-commerce company that provides B2C, B2B and customer to customer sales services via its web portal.
I have checked 0124 but its duties are not much matching. So, can i apply in 6221 Noc technical sales as it also include computer services. And web portal surely comes under computer service. Do you think it will be accepted.?
Please suggest.

Have you considered 0601? i too am from the E-commerce / Strategic alliances industry working for a German reinsurer. from what you described 0601 sounds a tad relevant in my opinion.
