I hope CIC sticks to its promise. My intention was not to spread rumor and make everyone panic. I don't gain anything from it. Moreover I am in the same boat as everyone. I thought it might serve as a warning for people who might be leaning on this, with no other back up plan. I even read some people quit their current job after they received PER.
My point is, don't be certain about getting into Canada, until you actually cross its borders. I know I made that mistake and made some stupid moves myself.
True jobinj1.
I agree with you to some extent that
1) EE may slow down the present FSWP 2014 process
2) people should have backup plan to apply unedr EE. (Dont relay too much on present processing)
3) never ever quit your job, as soon as you get your PER (Dude some times, it may take years to get PR VISA, this bitter but true)
on the other hand
1) EE also has the same limitations (CAP limits) as FSWP has. As a reason, EE can accept applications only fall under CAP limits per category.
2) CIC clearly specified that - all applications erceived by dec 31st will be considered towards FSWP 14 and processed as per the guidelines.
3) as CIC lost one lawsuit for FSWP 2008 candidates, hopefully it will not repeat that mistake of holding applications for years again.
4) CIC also planing to clear all FSWP 2014 backlog by end of 2015.(On their web site)
However,
Hope for best, and always have backup plan.
