[Saskatchewan_Regina]

During a meeting held on 09 November 2016 at Indian School of Business (ISB), Mohali, Chandigarh, India, John McCallum said : "We are gonna announce it in less than a week. It is quite a commitment from a politician. I think less than a week. Let's say in weeks, but probably not many. We are going to give additional points...."

See I'm all for giving people more chance, but I just don't want it to push back those others (yes, like me) who are just as skilled but suddenly because I don't have a sibling in Canada or paid to take my degree over there, I'm suddenly back of the queue.

Even if the changes are announced it will take time to be implemented. I just don't see a change in the point system this year.

Cheers

Not gonna lie... What I heard in that video was that students shouldn't be required to get an lmia. So maybe a rule such as "if you have graduated from Canada uni in last 5 years you do not need to apply for an lmia".

Hmmm. . . It just never ends.

I think they are indirectly encouraging more international students to apply to their universities (instead of them going to other popular univs like in US or any other part of the world), and further giving them extra points so that the students continue to stay and work in Canada instead of moving back after their studies. So it's all a game of attracting younger talent to their country.
