FOR INFORMATION OF EVERYBODY!

February 2, 2015 - Ottawa -Canada's Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander today announced that the first round of top-ranked candidates from Canada's Express Entry system is already helping to fill demonstrated and verifiable gaps in Canada's labor market.
On Saturday, January 31, 779 skilled workers, including professionals in natural and applied sciences, and industrial, electrical and construction trades, were invited to apply for permanent residency in Canada. Each of these candidates declared that they already have a valid job offer or provincial nomination.
Under Express Entry, skilled workers who want to apply to Canada's key economic immigration programs are able to create an online profile and express their interest in coming to Canada permanently.
Candidates who are accepted into the pool are ranked according to various factors, including language proficiency, education and work experience. Each is a leading indicator of one's likelihood of integrating fully and quickly into Canadian society and making an optimal contribution to the economy.
Canada will regularly invite the highest-ranking candidates from the pool to apply to immigrate. With most applications being processed in six months or less, candidates will be able to contribute to Canada's economy and job market more quickly than ever before.

As per expectation, all job offer candidates have been selected.

My brother's application just came back through snail mail. He applied for FSW 2014 (the famous NOC 2173) and his cap got filled. He applied in September. The same day the first draw news came to his email.

We unlucky.

It is so demotivating.

Anyways, I don't really think that there are better prospects now for the common FSW applicant. Are there any options for PNP or some way of having a job offer.

My family has applied. My sister in Canada has even sponsored my mother. He would be the one left behind.

Thanks for reading

EE may turn out to be a joke. Canadian employers cant afford to wait;

(1) untill after every month for a small number of foreign workers to be given ITAs
(2) for those ITAs to materialize in the next 60 days time
(3) for some of the issued ITAs to "possibly" expire and have to be re-issued

for skilled labour to come into their work force. There may be a good number of people who can't gather all their documentation in 60 days time for filling against their ITA. Their businesses are running now. Positions in their companies need to be filled now. They'r going to end up killing Canadian businesses with their own hands.

If they issue ITAs to 1000 or less people after 30 + 60 days (= 90 days) after every month, they are probably looking at skilled labourers entering Canada in 6-9 months AFTER it. They'll not only miss their immigration targets, but also, businesses won't have skilled labour to make them function in Canada.
