Ray of hope - FSW - 1

[sahilarora2003]

how is this possible?

Because i am the owner of the corporation. This is why the experience earned within Canada does count in FSW only.

If you're self-employed there are ways around this, in terms of getting attestations from clients to corroborate your work experience.

I'm assuming the corporation is not based in Canada and he's there on a visitor visa or something.

Absolutely not! A lot of people think of what they see, and of the things that are beyond that. I know some people living in Canada who not eligible, and they graduate from Canadian universities!

How? If they graduated after Jan 2017 from a Canadian university, they are eligible. If they graduated before that and are still living in Canada, what exactly have they been doing that they haven't been able to get a measly 1 year of work experience in 5 years?

Guys Canada is throwing ITAs out like Oprah's gift special. And you think they aren't going to restart FSW draws as soon as they can?

I think the fear is that they won't restart FSW because Canada is throwing out ITAs to inland categories, rendering FSW obsolete. A little baseless and irrational, but present nonetheless.

Very true.

But on the bright side, it clearly shows how reliant this whole 1-million three years target is on FSW.

They basically had to remove the "experience" part just to get more applicants within Canada.

IRCC gave reassurance to both future outland applicants and in-progress applicants that as soon as travel restrictions are eased they will invite them and also finalize applications. No one knows when that will happen. Even IRCC has no definite timeline because it directly depends on how well Canada deals with the virus and the vaccine. As many pointed out, I too have the opinion we will hear good news for outland around September-October when the majority of the adults have already been vaccinated.

It’s on my record with IRCC that I’m self employed and it’s based on my corporation. How can you change the scenario? I’m confused.

I’m here on ICT work permit and the corporation is Canada Based

So why doesn't that work experience count for CEC? Becasue you haven't reached a year of it in Canada?

Not sure I agree with this at all considering they increased the draw size in the latest CEC draw, but yeah, just sitting tight and waiting for October.

Because work experience earned towards self experience stream doesn’t qualify under CEC.

What i mean is usually you can use your self-employed work experience as part of your express entry application if you've gotten work references from clients, however i now recall that CEC specifically states you can't use self-employed work experience to qualify for the minimum requirements.

So yeah, still out of luck unfortunately.

There’s nothing like a highly skilled immigrant from abroad who just directly pops in and starts paying taxes from day 1. No school, no work permit hassles

According to this, about 30% will have received double dose while the rest will have received single dose by the end of June. I don't know jack about these things but even a single dose is said to be quite protective. Meeting this target could quite possibly end the pandemic for Canadians by the end of June. Around the same time the USA will probably also have ended the pandemic which is convenient since they share a border. Let's hope FSWs finally get lucky this summer.

By the way these figures neglect the vaccine production capacity increase we might see around the globe within the next 3 months. Canada might even surpass 50 mil by July.

Pretty much July will be when we see if Canada's strategy of '1st dose to everyone then second dose' worked since it takes several weeks to build imunity after the first shot. Hopefully there will be enough herd immunity to suppress any variants that get through the current generation of vaccines.
