The guy says "I think", there is nothing misleading about that post. It is just his idea. Your response however says "it is not like that". So actually your reaction is more misleading.

This is not my theory. I read it somewhere, I think it was a David Cohen article. I am just sharing with people what I thought to be really sensible. If you meant it as a joke, ha ha.

Well, you are surely right about Canada needing specific occupations more over others, but there is no declared criteria about it in this year's EE. I don't think CIC would apply a criteria that is not declared. It might be that 2015 is a test year and they just want to get the EE going. Maybe...

Exactly. For my money (the most logical argument to me so far), the draws will be scarce and the number of invitations will be low because CIC will be waiting for higher-score people to join the pool so that they don't use up all their draws and invitations for low-score people, effectively...

If you do not mention a family member in your application, regardless of currently coming with you to Canada or not, you will never be able to take them to Canada in the future. But if you mention them and say they are not accompanying you to Canada at this time, then in the future, you can...

Dear bromac, Nice money you have there, but it won't make any difference under EE, since the requirement is just a threshold to be above. By how far you are above it is just not a parameter to be considered under EE. For money to talk, you have got to try other categories you yourself are...

Absolutely. Being self-employed myself, my application got rejected last year exactly for that very reason - not sending invoices, tax records, bank statements showing transactions from companies in question. Those are absolutely vital. 9 reference letters, all detailing how much money they had...

It is freelance work since it is not a payroll employment. But I don't see why it would be a problem. As long as you prove the hours you put in and the money you received at the bank, it is all good.

Logically speaking, it should. It does in most countries. Not sure about Canadian regulation though.

Well, not quite. I am 35 with an 8.0 IELTS sitting at 401.

So are you expecting such a surge in invitations, therefore a sharp point decrease by June?

Not in all cases and not for all visa offices, of course.

- Better future for my children in terms of education, health and growing up in an relatively more educated society where people respect each other, - Canada is one of the most social states in the world. Better healthcare for us parents when we get old, - Better economy, - Lower crime rate, -...

Long process? Are you kidding me? :) Old system used to take up to 8 years to process. EE takes 18 months at most (12 months of wait + 6 months of processing).

I also support the theory that CIC will want to wait for potential high-score candidates to enter the pool. They won't use up all their invitations just for the sake of making consistent draws with consistent number of invitations every month. I expect them to act strategically and reduce the...

True. My bachelor's degree was a distance education program and I got my WES without any problems.

There is not a single chance that the score will go down to 410 in 9th draw: - People in the pool are increasing - People are improving their scores - There is already a lot of competition in the lower half of 400s. I would recommend every serious immigration candidate to make their research...

I beg to disagree. For "Proof of Funds" you are right, but there may be other reasons why you should provide a detailed bank statement. For say, you are a freelancer with no pay stubs. In order to prove you actually received money from the companies you have reference letters from, you have got...

I don't think it should, if you have proof that you have a life back in your own country, that you won't just leave behind by doing something silly as attempting to immigrate illegally. Proof being a good job or self-employment with good income, a wife/husband in your home country who are not...
