FSW WORLDWIDE

[Caprio]

Yeah just looking forward to 7th to see the official news about travel restrictions being finally lifted internationally. After that I anticipate PPRs beginning to rain and then the draws. I’ve always looked forward to Sept 15 (for resumption of draws) since they announced the travel restrictions easing plans last month

Aren’t they supposed to start finalizing and sending out PPRs before the said date? It’s not like immediately we get the letter, we travel the next day. We still have to send our passports through vfs and it takes weeks to get it back.

They are probably instructed to not issue COPRs while there's a travel ban.

Nothing has been made more difficult for FSWs. Same pool, same everything, just a little longer to have your app processed. It's just we're waiting for the draws.

I’m not sure the huge number of FSW-O’s whose applications are under processing for months and years would agree to your point about - “Just a little longer”.

Nonetheless, when one is waiting for draws and ITAs, then that’s what worries a candidate. And it seems like once ITA is there, then everything will fall into place and one can relax. But post AOR as well, there are many who get stressed / concerned wondering whether their docs are in order, wondering why they haven’t heard anything yet etc etc. So it’s normal for people to worry at any stage.

While thousands wait for draws, there are thousands (approved apps, expired COPRs, apps pending final decision, apps where everything passed pending security etc etc.) waiting for PPRs. And we are all in this together.

Well, did you read LegalFalcon’s detailed explanation of how IRCC intends to handle the situation? It clearly shed more light and insight.

That would make sense if there was a solid opening date. September 7th is not a guaranteed date. That's why IRCC has plans both for September and December. Check the document in my previous post: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/fsw-worldwide.739338/post-9604880

 

[Jaycejay]

Exactly, they could start issuing PPRs now and then unfortunately the travel restrictions lifting plan gets extended; this will nullify the efforts made. We need to cross that hurdle of September 7 first before we can expect something positive

Did Marco Polo started coming the office? he was suppose to come from Monday 09-Aug..to finish FSW application work..

Be careful with what you wish for my friend. (Says someone who've been waiting since November 2019 with an approved file due to inhumane travel restrictions.)

I think his noc is 6711. The job market is pretty weak for that field. Don't think he will make it here.

Mind sharing the NOCs that won't make it there without using the word "all"?

Where Can I find this explanation?

Jaycejay's NOC is 3131, not 6711.

Besides even if he was 6711, I don't think anyone who can achieve 470+ scores in FSW program without any juicy canadian experience/study bonuses can fail in Canada just because of their occupation.

Technically speaking, all class 0, A, B NOCs are considered equal under the FSW program. Therefore they have the exact same change to make it to Canada.

What to make of all the documents and internal instructions posted earlier:

1. Applications are being processed. The pace may be slow, but most applications filed in 2019/2020 have been processed and most stages have been cleared. Some even have a decision made.

2. The applications have been grouped based on document expiry, medicals, etc. for the ease of finalizing them once border restrictions ease. See the documents posted earlier.

3. Until the borders re-open, the restrictions are significantly eased, and the federal government on the recommendation of Public Health Agency of Canada allows foreign travellers, IRCC cannot start issuing PPR/COPRs. Also once the PPRs/COPR are being issued, country-specific conditions will impact them and also the sheer volume of applicants who are all waiting. However, most PPRs are sent in batches and you will see a large volume of PPRs soon.

4. A PR applicant / FSW outland / PNP outland etc. are not separate categories under law. All restrictions and conditions applicable to a foreign national/traveller are also applicable for a PR applicant. Only after an applicant presents herself at the port of entry, is examined and admitted into Canada, they attain a PR status. Or when they are issued an e-COPR after virtual landing (for applicants physically in Canada). Stop looking for specific instructions for PR applicants/FSW/Outland applicants etc.

5. Federal elections are expected to be announced this month and will most likely be held in September. During an election, all federal agencies will continue to work as normal and any policy change for the long run will only take place after the new government is formed. However, some decisions may be delayed such as further reduction of border restrictions, but will not affect any applications already being processed.

6. Why is IRCC not issuing PPR/COPRs? The answer is simple. Until an applicant can travel to Canada issuing a travel document does not make sense as it may expire. When a document expires, the file has to be reopened, some checks may have to be re-done/extended and new documents issued. This is time-consuming as compared to finalizing an application and issuing a document for a file already open, knowing that the applicant can travel and there will no need to issue now documents.

If you are waiting for a decision on your application, expect news in September/October, based on the COVID situation in Canada and how far the border restrictions are eased.

Finally, do not get bogged down by rumours and fear-mongering. All the Twitter frenzy being targetted towards Canadian Immigration and Citizenship / Marco Mendicino, Minister of Immigration, should be instead targeted towards Justin Trudeau, and Public Health Agency of Canada, they are going to make a decision on when borders will be opened and for whom. IRCC will merely follow in their footsteps.

I don’t think he was referring to me initially lol

This is why they can’t issue PPRs in batches for now
