Yes you're right to some extent, but still it would have been better to issue the invitations before we lose more points due to age
we have already lost 10 points due to age these past 2 years, and we will lose another 5 in June. So as much as we have maxed out our points in ielts and tef, we lose those points due to age. We don't mind waiting for the file processing, as long as we know we are safe not to lose any more points, if that makes sense.It is not at all a matter of choice! Not every one is lucky enough to find a job and get a work permit as easily as you're making it. Especially now with covid restrictions.
I am not one of themGood for you that you have learned "canadian style"
I worked on my score and received ITA way before, but it is always "fun" to see how people like you show support to others. Good luck!Yes, your statement makes sense... but what I meant is that... they might be trying to cover some of that loss from vaccine purchases and overall pandemic expenses.
Really kudos to that applicant for the courage of creating an EE profile with just 75 points. Who would have thought an EE draw would pick up that low of a score? But again, we don’t know their circumstances. To be eligible for CEC, one only needs have a valid language exam (based on NOC) and 1 year Canadian work experience. The applicant might’ve just declared that, didn’t bother doing an ECA or getting a job offer or learning French and could’ve lost a lot of points due to age.Good for you that you have learned "canadian style"
Yeah no - that's not how it works in terms of federal government budgeting and funding. Vaccines have been funded through other means.
It may not make sense to you, however the costs of processing applications are very well known and have been published by the government for years. For a long time, application fees only covered approximately 30% of the total costs to process applications. Recent application fee increases have raised this to 50%. The remaining 50% is covered by taxpayers.
Reading through your comments and I just shake my head. So you think people here with low score don’t know how to write their names. So it’s fair for you to get ITA. But people that live here, pay taxes, worked front line during pandemic, paid international student school fees, graduated and have low score for one reason or the other don’t deserve ITAs. Better to vent in a reasonable way and put other into consideration. What about when FSWs were getting ITAs biweekly and nothing for all those already here struggling already.Good for you that you have learned "canadian style"
Yeah, people saying that they did a big draw to obtain money because from the application fees are clueless lol. Couple million CAD for the federal government is peanuts, most likely it just covers some of day-to-day operations to run the thing..
You're certainly entitled to your views. However these fees are a drop in the bucket of the overall federal budget and the fees aren't a money maker for Canada. That's the reality whether you like it or not.
10000% lol. Canadian budget is about 300 billion dollars a year. 3 million is 0.001% of 300 billion. Probably the most absurd thing I've read on this site.
They invited people who’re contributing already to their economy doing skilled labour. These are students who spent their a lot of time and almost all their money in Canada.
It sounds like what's upsetting is the fact that low qualified CEC applicants were selected over much more qualified FSW applicants. I get that and it does seem unfair and somewhat illogical that they accepted individuals with such low scores. It was also very unexpected that they did one large draw vs. several smaller draws. I don't work for the government and have no idea why it was done this way.
