also, they just made about 20k people who thought they had no chance at all and would have to leave the country one day very happy... it is hard to be upset at IRCC for this
it’s also hard to imagine who’d be at score 75. Even a 60 year old person who wants to imigrate with his family and has no education and ielts band of 5 will have more score.
I really dont think so. That will be terrible for the canadian economy in the long run. It's the main reason why the FSW system was started in the first place remember? I think the time will come when they'd have to let people in but they have to be vaccinated already or be vaccinated at point of entry.
Thats what i meant, this stream is a skilled worker stream, and they just took some one with crs of 75, and there are even more ppl with that score after september 12.
Literally they are above 45, finished secondary school, 1 year exp in canada, ielts 6555. Thats it? Compare to graduated international students or foreign workers its a huge huge gap. They should set the cut off higher to keep the quality

Very hard disagree. How about a dose of optimism for FSW? Here goes..
In spite of the recent supply chain issues with vaccines, Canada is on track to vaccinate their population by September 2021. And note that this is just using Pfizer and Moderna both of which are known to work very well even against the scary new variants. By end of Q1 (i.e April 2021), they will have vaccinated (using both doses) their most vulnerable population, which means in the summer we will see deaths, hospitalizations, and even cases plummeting! We are already seeing deaths/hospitalizations/cases decreasing across North America. In fact, the US is on track to getting back to normal by Summer. This means that we will start seeing widespread rollback of restrictions starting this Summer. Of course, reopening borders will be last on their list, but it is definitely going to happen this year. They will probably start with reopening borders to the US sometime in the summer with some kind of proof of vaccination necessary to travel, since the vast majority of the US populace will be vaccinated by that time. Then they will probably start a staggered reopening for immigrants, since lots of outlanders have been waiting since October 2019. They would probably require a proof of vaccination, or offer to vaccinate you on landing, with some quarantine requirements (Note that Canada has ordered the highest amount of vaccines per capita in the world, so there will be no shortage of vaccines to vaccinate new immigrants by the time they open up). I am very optimistic that outlanders will start landing in Canada in the last quarter of 2021. People like me (FSW-O, AOR September 2020) might have to wait until early 2022, but I am still very hopeful about spending my Christmas 2021 in the beautiful city of Montreal gorging on poutine while covered in three layers of clothing to keep myself warm. We have great vaccines and the general population is starting to get real tired of lockdowns; once the vulnerable are vaccinated it won't be politically feasible to continue with strong restrictions.
My heart goes out to the FSW applicants in the pool, especially those who worked very hard to get to a competitive score and are going to lose points due to age. FSW draws are going to be unlikely in the next few months. But I'm confident they will start having FSW draws in the summer. Hang in there!
That's a good point, but that would mean they will not meet 2022 target even if FSW is invited. In reality, the target is based on the number of landed PR applicants; therefore, if all 2021 landed PRs are based on 2020 and 2019 backlog along with 2021 ITAs then there will be very few 2022 landings, because remember average processing (before pandemic) is over 6 months. So, only the first quarter ITA receivers will be able to land in 2022 considering the processing times prior to the pandemic.
I would hate to get into the CEC vs FSW debate. But all these people worrying about "it is bad for Canada's future".
May I please request you to fix your country's future first? before worrying about some foreign country.
My heart goes to people who are loosing points because of age. Pandemic is to blame NOT cec candidates who are working for their scores just like you.
Anyway not gonna indulge into this discussion anymore.

I thought if they introduced mandatory quarantine in controlled facilities then they would remove the March 18 rule for economic outland applicants. I guess not.
Why don't YOU do that instead of running away from it??May I please request you to fix your country's future first? before worrying about some foreign country.
I dont quite understand the rationale behind this move (i guess no one did)..Dont get me wrong cuz I love how they say "their status may be temporary but their contributions are lasting".
Were they so behind their targetd number that they had to invite over 20k candidates all the sudden to catch up with the targeted number?
Cuz with over 20k candidates submitting files in the next 90 days, i hope IRCC know that they probably would need a lot more staff to process the applications ..
Or maybe they have decided to push back the processing time from previously discussed 6-month to maybe 9month or even a year.

CRS of 478, I'm not really sure if it would be wise to enroll to some one year program in Canada, they are giving students visa in just a month.... but it is true that I won't be able to find any spot in a program before the September intake... I'm not really sure about what to do...

The only logical reason I see for today's draw is that maybe many CEC candidates are gonna lose their status soon and have to leave Canada so with an ITA, they can apply for BOWP and stay back till they get their PR. Looks like they really want to curb any kind of travel at all costs.
