just fyi -
EE focus is all about higher language skills - the higher the CLB - better ur chances
CLB 9 AND ABOVE STAND good chances in EE
and those who are married - have an advantage over skills transfer-ability too
its wise to do French basic too - adds up a lot of value to your score
whole purpose of EE IS - survival of fittest and those who can make their mark in Canada and not end up doing odd jobs
good luck and welcome your discussion and clarifications
Hi Lance,
My 2 cents about EE. I think it is a glorified work permit and that too very complicated. Instead, I would say, convert it into Work Permit, test the guy who comes and then issue PR after few years like other countries.
The basic disconnect is no one is clear as to what CIC wants. Is it the language? Canadian Exp? Job offer? PNP? If eliminating odd jobs is their priority, then why did they increase the over cap to 25000, knowing very well that people are ending up doing odd jobs.
I think it a simple attempt to copy and modify other systems, but seems to have failed miserably. The reasons being:
1. PNP and Arranged Employment will take lot of time. There are very less chances for people to get either and qualify for the so called Jan "Draw", will CIC still pick top guys and ask them to apply for PR? Not clear?
2. Is there any minimum cut off? No one knows
3. What is this strange rule about accompanying spouse? Are they suggesting one should bring them or should they drop them? What if the person goes along and brings their spouse in family class, will they still ask for what ever has been asked now?
Over all, it is a very poorly designed system. Unless, CIC is clear about how each qualifier is contributing to the objective of bettering their immigration, I don't think it is going to yield any results. My rating of this program is 1/5...
Please share your views. Will be very useful for all of us.
Thank you.
