Read this article.

Express entry might go away. Question is, if so, when, and who will be affected?

Will those post ITA be affected?

your opinions?

To me, this seems like 1 author's opinion about what should happen (may not be what actually happens).

Yep, scrapping EE is the editor's opinion. Though some good points that he had raised.

Liberals pledged to have changes around EE system, and not to scrap it altogether. And John McCallum had endorsed the EE system in the past.

This isn't even a media source. It's more or less a blog. Anyone can submit articles.

I agree this is an opinion piece, not an article or a reflection of government policy.

first of all, its not official plus this is not even reliable. govt has a lot of important things to do other than immigration process, no govt is taking decision quickly, this will happened but not very soon, it might take 1 year. so its all speculations now.

The letter from the Prime Minister to the Immigration Minister sets out the government's priorities & the new minister's mandate quite clearly:

Well according to the article it looks like the liberals have expressed their intentions as the The prime minister Justin said that the EE should "be scrapped". But it will take time (if it happens) but hopefully not.
Now let's talk about other side of the story which is if EE is removed then :
1 It will remove the question of being eligible under EE, which is now a big problem and most of the candidates are struggling to score high enough just because they are sitting under 450 CRS and some of them Canadian Experience and Some of them have skilled experience abroad , So at some point EE is a barrier for those who are particularly eligible for Some programmes like the applicants with Canadian exp are eligible under CEC regardless of any points it's just the criteria needed to be met, applicants with abroad work exp are left behind just because of not having enough points and everyone is running for painfull and long process of LMIA/PNP but it's not needed for candidates such as CEC but they just want to boost up their score under EE.
Conclusion it might be a relief for some people and might be a pain for some, same did when EE came into effect.
But still it wil take time and let's watch and hope for the best with fingers crossed ....... Good luck to all of us.. :) :) :) :) ;)
And yes you never know CIC...

Re bolded: not in his mandate to the immigration minister I just linked to (I think we posted at the same time).
The *author* of the article states that he (the author) thinks EE should be scrapped.

He does propose some adjustments that might help some candidates up their points in EE.

Exactly.

Nothing in the official news from the government confirms or even mentions anything about EE that the author of the "article" linked in the first post gave his opinion on/speculated about.

The fact that the first result in a quick search on said author brings up a false/misleading statement about his credentials doesn't inspire me to have any confidence in what he writes...

nothing about international students without relatives so wont happen unless something changes. But with this refugee crises its safe to assume EE will be business as usual or will deteriorate ..improvements dont seem likely. Improvements meaning changes in favor of international students. In current situation I will take current EE over any new changes. If extra points are given to relatives then our numbers will be pushed back even further which scares me.
