To be fair, they were prepared for this as they increased the amount of years you could claim points for work experience from 5 years back to 10 years - This was back during Covid. I remember back in 2018, the point for 2 years of Canadian work experience is the same than that of 1, I forgot...

I'm also going through MB PNP. Getting through express entry is not reliable unless you have 520+ scores. For most FSWs, this would only be possible through French and/or LMIA. Also Future of FSW is not bright as ten of thousands of young PGWPs with 2 or more years of Canadian experience are...

Marc Miller said the following in a public setting. Its definitely for cheap labor otherwise they would have revamped the CRS system and PNPs years ago to target quality students and disincentivize lamdas, yet there still exist numerous PNPs targetting low skilled labor (looking at you...

I've heard from people abusing implied status rule to get extra points, especially if they are close to having another year of experience for crs. I didn't know them french were doing this en masse - I thought it was a trick known to come from a certain demographics Wouldn't this get you banned...

Nope, I'm still on pgwp that's expiring in roughly a year. Just waiting until next month to get a year of experience at my current company before applying through MB PNP. To be fair, I can't really complain about my current situation - I've got few friends working in big bank in much worse...

The future of FSWs program is only reserved for French, Healthcare, and returning CECs who managed to get at least 2 yoe in Canada while being young enough to also get minimum 2 yoe foreign experience. Typical foreign masters applicant with 2yoe foreign experience won't pass the threshold. I...

I am close with a friend who works in an immigration consultancy. For study permit app, she mentioned IRCC being too lenient on Indian applicant but harshly judged application originating from African countries (Nigeria in particular). I think there was quite an uproar within the Nigerian...

There are quite a lot of people who did their bachelor in Canada and are currently working in Canada with at-least 2 yoe (no prior experience in their home country). The bump in points given for 1 yoe abroad is much higher than an extra year in Canada (assuming you already have 2 yoe in...

Any ideas ? looks like its tied to immigration goals..

Yeah, luckily I have a lot of options on my plate. Hopefully can stay here under my province's PNP (employer can sponsor, but cutoff is quite high as lambdas moved here to take advantage of the pathway), OINP Tech, EE tech draw - At this point, I'll just take whichever comes first. Most of my...

Fair enough, in my experience, Canadian companies didn't think much about hiring PGWP workers unlike that of AUS and UK as they're aware that such employee need to have sponsorship at some point. As for me, since I did my bachelor in Canada at a top univ in STEM, I don't have any foreign...

Most Canadian based F500 (big banks/insurance) in my experience aren't prepared for this this kind of situation as they always assumed that most people working would be able to get PR on their own - that has been the case for the most part. I believe next year is going to be the year where that...

If he's a staff engineer at a tech company, his perspective is skewed. Very few people get to that level in big-tech. A lot of talented seniors from my previous company got down-leveled when joining FAANG (staff -> senior, senior-> mid) during the hiring boom. Most dev in my current company are...

Yeah, I messed around with the calculator and found out that I would gain +27 points this way. That's very high and that would explain why CRS gets very inflated nowadays (esp. with the rise of those colleges).

I would love to know how many of those 70% of WP workers were rightfully employed under TEER 1-3 occupation. I'm under the impression that a significant number were just working TEER 4 jobs or some people decided that it was time and went back to their country without bothering getting PR...

(1) No because those were done in Canada. You can only claim points if you were studying outside Canada - its relatively common for US masters student to do claim points that way. (2) No, because that's still under one diploma paper. Its applicable for people who went for associate degree (or...

For EE HCP stream, does it follow normal CEC timeline or not ? My PGWP is expiring in Jan 2025. If its going to take at least a year to PR status, timeline might be a bit tight.

I didn't know you could get 7 years of post study visa in Aus.

A lot of higher paid tech workers are quite scared of the current PR systems, particularly bachelor graduate from top universities (ubc, Uwaterloo, uoft) as score wise they are losing against bachelor + post grad diploma holder on general draws even though the former are way more competitive in...

I don't think its fair to attribute bots to one particular party. Those bots could have been associated with one or more state actor trying to stir up sentiments for their own geopolitical reason.
