FSW WORLDWIDE

[MayorGrom]

NOC quota is probably the way for FSW. Checking myimmitracker you can clearly see that eg 2171, 2173 NOCs are overrepresented. Canada can decide to inflict a cap on those when a FSW draw happens. Provinces still can invite them separately if they need them.

If that happens, there will be a major shortage of software devs. It's not a secret that majority of Canadians are moving to the states to make money; just to compare, a mid dev in Toronto will make 100k-130k (ignoring outliers like FAANG). The same dev in Seattle makes 160-200k USD with lower COL.

On top of that, any software engineer will be eligible to apply as NOC 2173. That NOC is written very poor. Any backend, frontend, full stack, embedded, MLOps, Data engineer is eligible for that NOC. Most people specialize in one particular area but that NOC doesn't reflect that. 2171 is clear; it's IT (hardware related). 2172 is DBAs. However, 2173 is pretty broad.

They need diverse PR intake. Diverse in NOCs etc. They want some NOC-B as well. I guess its a sign of switch to NOC-specific quota. Sooner than the later.

Can mean anything. To understand what they mean we will have to look at 500+ and see they profile; which is impossible for us to do. Introducing specific NOC will make applicant homogeneous as well just with different NOC.

They can mean education or gender or family composition or age... So many options; NOC is just one of them.

Trump is gonna win in 2024 bro, I'm ready to put my entire savings on that bet (not much but still). Biden is goofing up big time

How are you so sure that either of these two would be alive or competent to run by the time 2024 comes up?

how did Jushitin Trushit win another minority? Another snap election coming up in the next 16 months.

Canada pausing intake of highly skilled immigrant workers amid heavy backlog

Despite a labour shortage in parts of the country, the federal government is pausing new invitations because it doesn’t have the ability to process them

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser was not available for an interview, but Rémi Larivière, a spokeswoman for the department, said the government will still bring in highly skilled workers, because so many are already in the queue.

“The already existing robust inventory of skilled candidates to process means that there won’t be a reduction in 2022 of the number of new skilled permanent residents arriving in Canada to work and settle,” she said in an email. “This pause is temporary; invitations to apply under the FHS streams will resume once the processing inventory is reduced enough to create space for new intake.”

Looks like, they will just eek out enough number of quota to land most of the existing people in processing queue. Then they will resume invitation somewhere in fall which they will process in 2023.

does this inventory / processing queue include apps from January 2022?

No because draws will be paused till June. This is confirmed by someone from IRCC:

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser was not available for an interview, but Rémi Larivière, a spokeswoman for the department, said the government will still bring in highly skilled workers, because so many are already in the queue.

“The already existing robust inventory of skilled candidates to process means that there won’t be a reduction in 2022 of the number of new skilled permanent residents arriving in Canada to work and settle,” she said in an email. “This pause is temporary; invitations to apply under the FHS streams will resume once the processing inventory is reduced enough to create space for new intake.”

Larivière said the fall fiscal update included measures to help reduce the backlog.

If that's to happen, it'll be necessary to reallocate a good portion of the FHS quota to PNP. The IT sector appears to be the one sector in Canada that's booming and capable of absorbing large numbers of high-skilled workers. Without this shift you'll just end up with more under-employed/ over-qualified immigrants.

Question for anyone who might know. My notes tell me my secondary office is Sydney. Is there anyway to know which Sydney that is besides a webform? Sydney, Australia or Sydney, Nova Scotia. I’m an Australian resident currently still in Australia. TIA.

Let's not forget 2174 Computer programmers and interactive media developers and 2175 Web designers and developers. Some of the roles you mentioned are better classified under these two NOCs.

also AOR Jan 2022 and the later ones following?

Early 2022 AOR's will be PNP, nobody is talking about PNP processing at all.

Sydney means Sydney, Australia. CIO means Sydney, Nova Scotia. My GCMS notes states Sydney as primary & CIO as secondary.

 

[SJCochrane6]

Sydney means Sydney, Australia. CIO means Sydney, Nova Scotia. My GCMS notes states Sydney as primary & CIO as secondary.

Cool thanks. My primary office is CPC Ottawa. So I’m guessing Sydney is probably where my application is probably been held up at.

If your primary is Ottawa then your application is held up at Ottawa. Sydney doesn't have anything to do with it
