CEC stem would be nice as I know there's a lot of people in tech whose PGWP is running on borrowed time (thanks to 1 year extension)

I have taken 3 Celpip since last year (also took ielts-A for school years before) but I keep getting 8 either on the writing or speaking section never both. Most of my friends who ended up with CLB 9 had to take many iterations (at least 5) - a lot of the cases they keep marking down the...

Crs inflation is mostly due to backlog and pgwp public policy I think. It doesn't make any sense for PGWP holder to enroll in schooling as you won't get much points especially when compared to getting an actual job

is it risky to go back after 2 yoe in canada, I can get 3 yoe in canada under PGWP. Currently holding a bachelor degree from a canadian university (no post grad) I hold pgwp and soon will have 2 yoe in Canada for noc 21230, under current system its better to have 2yoe in canada + 1yoe abroad...

Looks like spending 3 years in Canada (under any open work permit) worth less than spending 2 yoe in Canada and 1 yoe abroad. As an ex student who have no prior experience before coming here, I'm very tempted to go back to home for a year. That assumes I'm unable to get any PNPs or LMIAs and I...

Perhaps, Algerian simply don't migrate as much. I come from the 4th most populous country and our diaspora isn't even in the top 10 of most developed countries. That's compared to countries like Pakistan, Nigeria even Brazil. We simply don't have the culture to immigrate abroad

Hmm I was under the impression they're about to do it this summer. I don't know how it'd interact with existing PNP program. I suspect PNP targetting common occupation may get easier (healthcare, tech)

Are you talking about MB pnp or EE CRS, crs have been going down a bit ? Mb pnp is a bit unpredictable. They announced a separate draw for critical occupation but they just pick nocs at random instead of having a more thorough list like alberta, sk or BC

Did re eval for both writing and speaking. Speaking got bumped to 8, writing remains

More availability usually and its slightly cheaper Also celpip's grading speaking and writing are not reliable.

Im gonna get 465 in october (2yoe in-canada). 473ish would probably be doable by redoing ielts. Just wandering how it'd affect things with my NOC (2174) Otherwise, might have to beg for LMIA or for my employer to move me to SK and apply through their PNP. Manitoba PNP draws have been on a wild...

Any info about targeted draws ?

Last year, I took a CELPIP test and got L-8, R-12, W-9, S-8, will expire mid of next year. I just took another CELPIP test and I got L-11 R-11 W-8 S-7 (??). Ordered re-eval for my Speaking test. There's so much variability in this test. I just hope that I get an ITA later this year so I can...

A lot of people got burned when NS pnp suddenly (1 week notice) changed their system to not allow international student from out of province applying through that particular stream. A friend of mine now has the exact same issue as OP as he accepted a job in Nova scotia on the basis of that...

Worst case would be going back home while waiting for CEC, or asking your employer to sponsor you elsewhere. I think the scores would slowly be going down over the next few months. Also add some money in the proof of funds sections so you are eligible for fswp. Last FSWP (before current all...

If they want to make FSW and CEC become one, they should give more points for candidates with local degree + work exp. I remember when they stopped doing draws for CEC (that's before Covid too probably around 2018). But points were still around 450ish so its really doable if you have 2 yoe...

I'm currently under pgwp, it will expire on feb 2025. I graduated in BC and moved to Manitoba for my first job. I started working in Sept 2021 and I changed job in December 2022 (so I have 1 yoe already). Both jobs are still in Manitoba and fall under NOC 21230 The original plan was going...

No, it really depends on the reason of switch and its not 100% approved (depends on the officer's mood of the day) as these are handled on a case basis. That's what the consultant said and it makes sense. You can go talk to a consultant. I found a local MB one that're willing to do a free...

I talked to a consultant. They said that typical reason for switching that they allow are: 1. Not getting enough hours 2. Getting Fired If your reason of switching is because of salary hike, they may not accept it. I'm not feeling comfortable at my current position so I decided to switch to a...

Fair enough, I havent found any cases on CanLII specifically on this matter. Almost all cases were obvious.
