    Changes to Expression of Interest (EOI)-Manitoba

    If they remove the mandatory connection criteria or attending session/explanatory visit, then it would have been great, like Québec. Still these barriers exist. Hope they remove such criteria and prioritize French-English bilingual applicants.

    If yesterday was the last draw, then hope the processing time got reduced, less than 6 months.

    Refocusing Express Entry new changes long term and current situation

    470 scores is now cleared. Assuming only a few enter the pool in these two coming week with 470s, obviously I don't think 1000s. Nest draw might be 450-460.

    Refocusing Express Entry new changes long term and current situation

    That's what I think though. Although there are many in 400-450 range, those in the above 600 because of LMIA would no longer exist. Score will drop ;D

    Refocusing Express Entry new changes long term and current situation

    Scores might go below 450 by end of December this year as not all people will be impacted by the reform. Only 25% of applicants (international students) in the pool got bonus points. For French, should they get additional points, only 1% have French in the pool anyway ;)

    47th Draw: Only 2 Point Drop with 2427 ITAs??

    Definitely, they should be getting some commission from the language test providers :o

    47th Draw: Only 2 Point Drop with 2427 ITAs??

    Don't think so, that's why the reforms took place, to reduce points for LMIA. Also, Immigration Francophone push for reforms on them as the way they are presently operating is unfair, as can be inferred :P

    High number of ITAs new trend

    Not all international students will get 50 points as most of them are PGWP holders and I think that many were from India doing 2-year course like diploma (like the guy who make the speech in Brampton town hall on Sept 1, he said that most studied for 2 years and get 3 years PGWP), thus might be...

    47th Draw: Only 2 Point Drop with 2427 ITAs??

    Think CIC really wants applicants in some particular NOCs to be chosen. That's why a draw takes place today, in order to favoured some NOCs with LMIA rather than deferring it after Nov 19.

    High number of ITAs new trend

    Sure, all cleared (LMIA and PNP). Scores will definitely go down.

    No less than 40% of our economic immigrants will be international students

    That's the strategy to attract international students. I don't think it will be 40% on federal level, Express Entry directly through this additional points, but rather most international students will come from the strict PNP like BC, Nova Scotia and the like where quota has been increased ;)

    EE did not qualify! Spouse language requirement?

    You should pass the eligibility test score of at least 67, which is done on CIC website, after which it will tell you whether you are eligible or not, with a code to be used when creating your profile.

    New Express Entry ranking system will be applied on Nov 19th (detail inside!)

    Siblings will definitely come this year as changes will be ongoing as said, probably near year end so that the Minister has something to say when making his year-end speech that they fulfilled their promise. Hope French comes too. So impatient!

    Canadian siblings - Fostering family reunification

    McCallum was clear in saying that additional points will be awarded and has been awarded to resolve this issue. What's more? CEC was considered the stream with least barriers by lawyers as only 4 things were required as proof: Education, Canadian Work Experience (lots of points awarded)...
