if they are looking for high quality candidates, they have to choose people with points in the range 450 to 600.cryptic said:Cutoff has not dropped below 453. I think for future draws 700+ points is mandatory. Canada is only looking for high quality candidates for PR.
noo don't take it literally ..... agreed could have defined humor better but hope everyone gets ITAButterflyChemist said:Why would you start a thread with such a pessimistic title?
so what about international students working with open work permits which doesnt require LMIA? Most of them have high paying jobs and its difficult to get LMIA. Are they not well qualified candidates?cryptic said:How so? Sub 700 applicants are low score with no valid job offer (i.e. won't fill a job Canada needs). They primarily have 3rd world quality education, barely passable english, and will thus have difficulty finding work in Canada and assimilating. How is that a quality applicant? 700+ applicants will immediately fill a job that Canada needs. Their score minus 600 points for job offer is not indicative of quality, as who would waste money on ways to increase points with job offer?
Not only high quality but also for those whose occupations are in demand. Although the EE process is not occupation specific, indirectly, the LMIA is the Canadian government's way in how to filter the candidates with occupations they need the most. This way, foreign nationals can not get jobs away from their citizens and permanent residents.cryptic said:Cutoff has not dropped below 453. I think for future draws 700+ points is mandatory.

But don't forget that so many occupations are regulated and most of it used to be in demand all the times like physicians, engineers, dentists , pharmacists and nurses .. so they can't get a job offer as they r not in possession of license to practice .. so LMIA can't be the right tool for addressing market shortage .. It might be a good tool for showing how some people cares about sorting things out for their relatives overseas.. i'm offshore but can't understand how a graduate student in Canada worked there for a year or 2 can't meet their standards and an overseas one can!!!aguedaK said:Not only high quality but also for those whose occupations are in demand.
