even John McCallum admits international students are the best source of immigrants. So this is happening just not in the near future.
extra points to international students. When it will happen? any guess

Maybe you're right. when i see the bill c-6 (favoring international students on citizenship) process, they had to discuss abt C-6 in Citizenship and Immigration committee ( //openparliament.ca/committees/activities/5349/ ) then presenting that study to parliament.positiveenergylittlesun said:
I don't see any committee on Express entry yet, but they been talking about express entry in other committees like TFWP ( //openparliament.ca/committees/activities/5398/ ).
If minister wants to review or make changes express entry, does he really need to present those to committee before implementing?
Agree 100%. I don't mean to downplay all international students (I was international student byself) but someone, who did some junky course in some junky colledge and then worked one year in Starbucks is not really better for Canada then some internationl professional with many years of proffesional experience. Let's compare apples to apples - take two persons with identical education and identical experience with only one difference - first person gained education/experience in Canada, the second one - overseas. For sure the first one will get more CRS points for his Canadian education/experience. So it's wrong to say that Canadian graduates dosn't have any advantage over candidates from overseas.LokiJr01 said:Let's be realistic here. The purpose of immigration is to gather the best talents for the benefit of Canada's economy. The CRS, while it could use some improvement, allows the government to choose the most economical individuals based on the combination of factors namely age, language capability, job offer, adaptability, and skills.
You could spend millions of dollars to study in Canada but if your skills are not what the country needs...well you what happens next. someone who has never been to canada might end up having a better chance of getting a visa because of his credentials.
It's ok to vent out but it's not ok to downplay other candidate's chances simply because other people have the money to study in Canada
As myself in the international student category, I'm trying to be realistic as people are exaggerating and asking too much, especially those claiming points for work experience not related to their profession and the Minister has been aware about the issue of students engaged in low skilled jobs and this affect our credibility as international student;Hansdza said:
The video proved that McCallum was nice enough to accept awarding extra points to international students as it is true that you will have more prospect of better economically settle with Canadian education than some with foreign education;
As previous draws showed that those outland are being selected because of their high competitive score, the Minister decide to award extra points because they want to keep the best source of immigrants (International Students) by making them more competitive over those with no Canadian education. That's true, foreign work experience won't help in Canada.
Recent reports revealed the abuse about college students;
Express entry is not related to the bill for credit given for citizenship but is instead based on Ministerial Instruc..... and the CRS points criteria can be changed without difficulty. The Minister can change it at any time, should there be a will on their part;
The issue is why it has not been implemented yet; May be they will wait on Canada Day; Please note that it is only speculation and it might take longer.

Where did in my comment saying that studying in Canada will guarantee a PR? where did it say someone force me or other inland applicants to stay here and pay taxes? can you point it out? you guys keep using the straw man fallacy in your arguments to defeat other people's logic.Elrud said:
In your previous comment you said that IRCC prefers inland applicants to outland ones. I simply pointed out that it's easier to verify a Canadian degree / Canadian work exp than those foreign ones. It also makes sense in economic point of view that taking inland applicants with qualified degree and qualified jobs will guarantee a better outcome than outland counterparts.
Do those int't students working in Starbucks ever qualified enough to get an ITAs in Express Entry or you are making it up?pfse said:
Are you sure? have you tested your hypothesis yet? if not please test it HERE:pfse said:
And please take a look at my calculation:
Alexios07 said:
Another factor that makes IRCC wants to give more points to Canadian degree because they want to attract more int'l students to come to Canada and spend money here to boost Canadian economy. As of 2014, Canada has around 336,000 int'l students. Do you know how much they spend to help boosting Canadian economy? it's more than $7.7 BILLION dollars (Source), and create over 81,000 local jobs for Canadian. That's more than 7% of Canada's GDP
Therefore, if Canadian degrees are treated the same as foreign degrees, then who would want to come here and study? they will go to some cheaper developed countries instead, like Singapore for example.
And this is the recommendation directly from Global Affairs Canada (Department of Foreign Affairs)

Because you can get job without LMIA after graduation?
But I agree that education in CANADA SHOULD be count towards EE points.
How come? PGWP does not allow to open a business. And nobody creates jobs for a reason to hire international students.
Local jobs, don't you see that every college and uni in Canada always have an International Student center? then homestay program, dorms and ESL programs etc.Regina said:
Again, all my comments above are not to prove that anyone here who have studied in Canada will be guaranteed a ticket to EE becasue that would be absurd. I just want to point out that it makes perfectly sense for IRCC to award more points toward Canadian degrees and Canadian work exp.
Sorry official stats does not prove it.
Do they open a new one every year? or it was created 5-10 years ago and has been working since then?
Also, unfortunately, there is a limit of how many International students may get PR. Something around 12 000 yearly? Others have to leave. And yes, do not forget those with PGWP take jobs from Canadians.
That's why only 12 000 of 336 000 will get PR.
