Ray of hope - FSW - 1

[BlindGoku]

Just to clarify;

If you have canada diploma (one ow two years) - you will get 30 points instead of 15.
If you have Canada Master - you will get 60 points instead of 30.

is it correct?

No, this is not official yet

What you guys expected the new CRS score be ? 480-485 or 490+ ?

In near future, I guess it may hover around 480+

On the basis that Canadian education gets extra points right?

if you got it, go for it unless you don’t want to Toronto. It is regular PNP program only and the cut off was 469-477 today.

Thanks for reply. CRS is 471. What do you suggest should i go for it or wait for more draws ?

As Gurpreet said, if you have the option to get in via PNP, and you want to live in Ontario, take it. If you want to live elsewhere, wait for other FSW draws.

Which option would guys would have preferred?

What could changes look like?
The minister did not hint at what the changes may entail, but his options may include one or more of the following:

launching new federal pilot programs
holding program-specific Express Entry draws
modifying Express Entry’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to provide more points for Canadian experience
modifying eligibility criteria for federal programs (e.g., reducing the work experience requirement for the Canadian Experience Class)
extending the length of temporary work permit durations to give candidates more time to gain the Canadian work experience

Did you get the EOI? You should start preparing the documents for the PNP application. I think they can be reused when it comes to PR application. You won't need to submit PNP application straightaway and have plenty of time left to wait for the express entry draws.

I might be wrong, but I read from somewhere that if one rejects the Ontario PNP EOI, he won't be eligible for receiving EOI again should the Ontario draws happen in the future (Ontario draws are quite frequent nowadays).

All of a sudden my score went upto 486 from 471. This is weird. Am cec candidate.

It is showing 30 points for Canadian degree while calculating CRS.

Change is reflected in EE profile?

Additional 15 points have been given to CEC candidates who are Canadian degree holders (un-official news). Congrats.

 

[neha_415]

OMG! the draw should happen next week. Now it is highly doubtful that next week it will happen.

 

[Igethope]

Now we hope they conduct programs specific draws. The score gap between CEC and FSW will be so huge

 

[Carmen01]

Bilinguals got 50 points, Canadian education gets 30 more (unofficially). The fact still remains they need more people not less. How many CECs are currently in the pool?
As with the previous draw, after this boost it will clear for others.
It is highly unlikely that all 40k (-/+ 10%) candidates in the pool from 430 -500 all have a Canadian degree.
