If not due to Covid, this stream will never gonna happen. It's just a gift beside CEC and PNP programs.
New Policy for International Students - April 12th, 2021

According to CICnews, applications can just be approved or refused, not incomplete. It's not like EE where they run a completeness check before processing. I guess they're destining resources on processing them ASAP so they don't waste time seeing if the applicants did their research and checked their own eligibility.
Any source for this? Any other info? Probably within 24h we'll have another 2.5h livestream announcement with chatty lawyer, maybe 10 mins actual info.
Apparently he said this in his stream today. He's the only one sticking his neck out so his word is gospel until they are not...
Yeah, it was in his stream today. Man speaks a lot of filler and fluff, but as an immigration lawyer, spreading misinformation will land him in hot water. Pretty much why I'm willing to wade through the streams to find info.
Well, you know what they say about broken clocks.
Yeah, I mean we give him a bit of flack around here sometimes, but he does seem to be putting his reputation on the line, which is more than you can say for most consultants/lawyers.
Oh, I have no doubt he's a professional. Even with the whole marketing thing I can tell he cares, I like how he has the DIY courses for people who can't quite afford 4k per PR application but would rather have some kind of guideline showing how to apply for EE, but most people familiar with IRCC applications should be fine applying on their own.
Do we also think all three streams (Essential Healthcare, Essential Work General and International Graduate) will be processed at the same rate?
Isn't it common knowledge that Canada needs more HC workers hence the creating and fast-tracking the Health-Care Aides pathways?

That's why the HC stream has a lower cap, but I think that more or less the processing will be similar. Those won't be 90k applications in one day.
I'd imagine they'd all go at the same rate anyway. There are some fresh graduates in HC that don't meet the 1 year eligibility for the HC stream (like me) that they'd want to fast track the graduate stream as well.
I'm asking because some International graduates may qualify for the HW and Graduate Pathways and have to choose between both. If there is no BOWP for this policy, it might be in their best interest to apply for the one that will take the least time if their PGWP status is on the line.
