The latest draw doesnt make any sense to me/ just becuz of Covid they are accepting everyone in Canada without any criteria , while many fsw applicants with really high score are loosing points becuz of their age or ilets expiration. I just dont get it
Without any criteria?
Man, to be invite under CEC you need 1 yeas of skilled work experience in Canada.
FSW newer worked in Canada and some never gonna find a skilled job after arriving.
It is most logical approach IRCC could’ve taken.

I worked for 6 months in Canada but it is not enough to apply for CEC so I have to apply as FSW and I have enough score to be chosen. I just don't feel it fair that people with 75 CRS were chosen instead of FSW with 460+ score.

It is not possible to have 75 points and be eligible for CEC. I believe they just put the random number to take every CEC from the pool.

I understand your point. But, right now it is pointless to process FSW and even issue COPR because no one can travel to Canada and I believe the ban will be there at least 1 more year.

I agree with this. Age alone gives more than or at leasr 75 points. What about education and job experience points?

Your explanation seems to be the only logical conclusion.

Looks like you are right and every CEC candidate in the pool got invited which means there were only 27k CEC candidates in a pool of over 150k?

This 27000+ draw looks more like a political statement than a reasonable judgement from IRCC
They want to invite every eligible CEC candidate. I believe this is a generous action by IRCC since there are CEC candidates who would otherwise never get ITA with the bi-weekly draw.

You know, at least that would secure my place in Canada.... Right now I'm in the pool waiting, if they send invites to FSW even if I can't travel that would be better because I would know that I can travel there as soon as restrictions are lifted. That's the point of making FSW even if there are restrictions.... plus they are taking 9+ months in processing an application... I see no reason of not making a FSW if still they will have to wait for months until they have CoPR

Yes, but they don’t know for how long the restriction gonna stay. And they have their quotas to make. So it is much easier just to land every inland and meet their targets for this year...and see what happens next.

The only way FSW's to get an ITA now is to qualify for PNP. Pretty sure PNP draws will continue as provinces are still giving out nominations consistently.
