FSW WORLDWIDE

A snap election is a sudden election

They stopped processing FSW apps because apparently, people were flying to Canada despite the entry ban. If they can use that as an excuse to further delay processing, it's possible will continue to postpone COPRs and new draws until the ban is removed from India.

At this point I can’t exclude any possibilities. One thing I’ve learned is that they really don’t care about the impacts of decisions they make on outland immigrants

Just realized that I completed 19 months post AOR today. Honestly had never ever imagined that would be the case when I got my ITA in 2019

That'd put targets at risk though. Especially with reduced CEC draws.

To be honest I don’t think those targets are cast in stone. I believe its more like they hope to meet them but not necessarily they would considering all different scenarios.

I think that Trudeau's government same as their opposition wants immigrants. Canada needs foreigners to survive otherwise they will end up in a serious issues with old population, reduced taxes etc. They need immigrants to compete with US as an economy I do not think that FSW is going away as a program. They might do the changes to stramline some occupations which at the end will not be as bad as w think it will be

They are even letting flights from our immediate neighbours pakistan! Maybe It’s political animosity brewing between india and canada i suspect

There is no enemy or friendship between India and Canada. Its all about scoring brownie points in election.

You're saying that from an immigrant's perspective. If immigrants were that important to Canada, I'm sure they would have found a way to bring them over regardless of the circumstances. I think people overestimate the need for migrants from outside Canada. Most Canadians probably don't care or are indifferent towards immigration and so is their government it seems.

Still trying to make sense of this logic. Score brownie points with whom? Canadians? Why target one country specifically when many other countries are affected as badly and some even worse.
If that was the real objective then they would wait for removing the international travel ban until the end of the elections and only opened borders with the United States.

They ARE in cast in stone. That's why we had a megadraw and the train of low-score CEC.

True. Sometimes it’s almost impossible to understand the rationale behind decisions Canadian government make

And the several pathways they opened this year. Canada can’t survive without immigrants. They need them desperately

 

[Jaycejay]

Whether for demographic or economic reasons; Canada needs immigrants at least for the foreseeable future

The only reason I felt is because last year the targets weren’t met and this year also it may be the difficult as per this article. Nonetheless surely not impossible.

It's probably true they need immigrants for their long-term survival however they have an endless supply of immigrants from within the country. They can decide to scrap the traditional FSW draws and still have options to meet their immigration requirements.
