Federal skilled worker program not getting picked.

[rgsgeorge]

Hi there.I was planning on applying for Canada PR in the Federal Skilled workers program soon. However I noticed here that they have only picked from the Canadian experience class and Provisional nominee program this year. Is there something blocking the federal skilled workers program or can I still apply?

You can still apply but there are no regular open draws. Why? One word...Covid.

Yeah. That makes sense. Does it still make sense to apply now? Assuming I apply now and in a few months, the FSW program comes back. Due to the backlog, I expect an extremely high cutoff. My score is 478 at the moment.

enter in the pool as soon as you can and wait... there are many of us in the same boat.

Agree. If you have 478, get your name in the pool.
