Express Entry - It looks like we still need in-person classes during COVID19.

Exactly! Clearly Ironclad doesn't know what he is talking about! Colleges/ Universities holding classes online due to Covid-19 has nothing to do with the admission requirements or the student's ability or merit! The same requirements pre- covid apply to get admitted into your program. Furthermore, those students already in Canada are still forced to study online if their programs don't require in-person labs/ practicals.

Some schools offering in person classes require a pre-existing study permit application for at least 3 months to apply for a program. A candidate with a pre existing active study permit application can overpower other ones who have not submitted a application despite having a low score. You are welcome to share your opinion.

Yes lets hope. I will wait for 10 days or so when the situation clears whether intl students are exempted or not and if not, then will reschedule my flight from April (last week booked already) to sometime in first week of May.. (my online 1 yr course started in Fall 2020 and is ending in May end). And please for god's sake , please don't extend the 2k thing further than April 30.

Nice but I have no choice left since there are only in-person classes for me regarding Spring 2021 intake. Will share my review regarding the 3 day 2000$ soon, if its implemented.
