You know, if I want to play the "signs and predictions" game just like many YouTubers and immigration consultants, I'd say there is absolutely no negative sign about the FSW program. They could simply not allow any FSW applicant to create a profile there if they did not want us. But they say "Waiting kills". While I am still young, I have been through these kinds of situations a few times in my life, where I wanted something so bad and kept thinking about it day and night and nothing would happen. But as soon as I left it on its own and stopped thinking about it, life just brought it to me by itself.Well said, we just have to wait and see what plans they’ve line up after the border gets reopened. If I hadn’t seen those documents recently released I probably would have given up on FSW draws by now because covid is no longer a valid reason. So, I’m assuming non-conduction of these draws till now is somewhat related to the pausing of outland files processing which is in turn dictated by travel restrictions currently in place. We wait and see
For me, I’m always prepared for the worst possible outcome. That’s why things hardly take me by surprise. But i choose to be optimistic regardless. At moment there’s no indication that FSW will the scrapped. That would actually be the dumbest move Canada can ever make considering their lofty immigration goals they need to achieve for the next few decadesYou know, if I want to play the "signs and predictions" game just like many YouTubers and immigration consultants, I'd say there is absolutely no negative sign about the FSW program.

But as soon as I left it on its own and stopped thinking about it, life just brought it to me by itself.
Again, I believe all of us FSW applicants have to be honest with ourselves in order to be prepared for any of the 3 scenarios that might happen:
1) FSW resumes as usual
2) FSW resumes with minor/major changes that design it a way that matches the specific in-demand professions of Canada better
3) FSW never resumes and Canada stops offering PR status to those who have never been to the country just like all other nations (While extremely unlikely, again I believe expecting the worst scenarios is the right strategy to survive in today's world of uncertainties).
After all, cheers to all of us FSW applicants eagerly waiting in the pool
Yeah for the last 3 weeks. Got no idea why. Hopefully they implement the vaccine passport thingThe vaccination pace in Canada is really slow.
Where exactly are you based at the moment?Got jabbed yesterday with Moderna 1st dose now I feel like Thanos or should I say Hulk.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how things play out after September 7
A couple of them were posted here in the last 2 days.Has anyone from FSW-O received PPR in last two days??
FCTWhere exactly are you based at the moment?
Numbers are going up tooYeah for the last 3 weeks. Got no idea why. Hopefully they implement the vaccine passport thing
Ohh cool. I’m scheduled for my second dose of the Astrazenica shot in September but I’m hearing it’s currently not available in Lagos.
Covid cases numbers? Yeah that’s expected. Thankfully hospital admissions and death remains stable.Numbers are going up too
So they will change priority from CEC to FSW and CEC soon? Within this year?No offense but if one thinks Canada can achieve what it wants from immigration without offering outland options, one has poor analysis skills and possibly insufficient knowledge about Canada's demographics and economy.
People discussed this many times here so i won't go again but if you take a look at dropping CEC numbers you can see IRCC isn't planning on relying on low score CECs anymore. FSW will probably have some sort of NOC arrangements maybe like what it was before JT. But outland routes aren't going anywhere. They'll just be updated probably.So they will change priority from CEC to FSW and CEC soon? Within this year?
