Wow, this is pretty good news. I'm in the 400s. Not expecting dips in the cutoff as dramatic as this from now on, but we've got at least 10 more draws this year so I've got a pretty sweet chance of getting ITA in a month or two. Might even end up getting my PR faster with express entry than if I...

To be eligible for a 3 year work permit, you must complete a full-time program of at least two years, not two programs of one years in length like you are planning on doing. You would only get one year PGWP if you complete two one year programs.

A CEC-specific drawing already occurred Feb 27th. 840 CEC applicants were exclusively invited to apply during that round of selection... Mark my word that there will be more program-specific drawings, and It wouldn't surprise me if CEC was the only program with such advantage.

Good observation. I don't have any dependents, and as a principal applicant I don't find it fair that dependents are counted towards the total number of applicants.

If you are PGWP holder and meet the minimum requirements for CEC, then fill out the EE profile ASAP and stop worrying about PN and LMIA points. You will be invited to apply under CEC stream, not FSW or FTP, so you won't have to compete with applicants in those streams in which getting an LMIA or...

Can you provide the source? EDIT: Source: https://www.facebook.com/ChrisAlexanderCanada/posts/970929522917383 I think it's a good response and gives me even more hopes of getting picked. If 23,000 is 2015's CEC Cap, then I can definitely rest easy 8) Been telling every CEC applicant the same...

I don't think CIC is shifting towards protecting or promoting anyone. The reason CRS and EE were created was to eliminate the "First come/ first serve" model that was prevalent in the old system. If you have LMIA or PN that means that Canada has deemed you as a requirement to fill an economic...

Well, I don't think you can compare CEC eligibility with holding LMIA or PNP. I am 100% convinced that the CRS score requirements for the CEC stream are gonna be lower the FSW stream. There has already been a CEC exclusive drawing late February. I am pretty sure that the only skilled worker...

You can get LMIA or PNP to support a CEC application in the EE pool... CEC and LMIA/PNP are not mutually exclusive, so no need to trade anything ;)

You don't need a valid job offer or PN to create EE, but either one gives you 600 points from the CRS matrix.

Nobody is being favored by CIC. PGWP holders aren't automatically entitled to PR status, never have and never will. I am PGWP holder and I am eligible to apply under both CEC and FSW program because I have years of skilled work experience, not because I graduated from a Canadian institution. For...

If the WES report indicates "Years of study" and not a completed degree, it is to admissible. My WES report said I had many years of studies, but I was notified that It needed to indicate a complete program of education and not the equivalency in years. Did you finish the program?

I was concerned too until I realized that there's nothing to worry about. We just have to wait and be patient until CIC processes applicants with LMIA or PN. The latest draw had the cut off score at 735, chances are it will continue to decline. PGWP holders don't need to worry, they just need to...

PGWP is NOT part of International Mobility Program and is not related to that program in any way. IE and PGWP have absolutely nothing in common except that they can lead to PR eligibility. If you have PGWP you can work anywhere you want for as long as the instrument is valid. READ what your PGWP...

It clearly states in the title that this is a change affecting the International Mobility Program. PGWP has nothing to do with IMP...

Graduating from a Canadian educational institution does not entitle you to permanent residency, and every international student should know that. As a study permit applicant, you are required to provide sufficient proof that you will be returning home after your studies, and you must leave the...

If you are applying under the CEC stream, you meet the minimum requirements and your OWP is good for another year or so, I don't think you have to even think of a Plan B. Just be patient and you'll get your ITA. FSW and FST streams are a whole 'nother ball game though, I suggest anyone in the...

If you received a Canadian certificate, diploma or degree, it does not require ECA assessment.

I have questions regarding specific questions on the EE profile Wizard. I am currently in Canada and applying under the CEC stream. I completed the EE profile but have yet to submit it for fear of misrepresentation. There are three questions that I am unsure if I have answered correctly: Under...
