Singapore VO responded to an applicant in Kubeir FB group, whose AOR is October/2019 and file is approved, that travel restrictions prevent them from issuing his PPR, since only exempt travel is allowed and he isn’t exempt (though COPRs are exempt). This is quite ridiculous that VOs are choosing what rules to follow.

no, the gap won’t be an issue.
I got my ITA with 35 months of work experience because the resolution by which work experience is calculated is in months, not weeks or days. So if for example, you started working on 25 Jan 2018, your work experience would be considered as having reached its 1 year mark on 1 Dec 2018, and 3 year mark on 1 Dec 2020, and not 25 Jan 2019 or 2021 respectively.

its just too bad that you were led by the lies spread by others then. a real pity and I do feel for you, but for your own sake, it’ll be best to make objective decisions in future and to take what people say here, or on any other websites, with a pinch of salt. unless they’re certified immigration consultants or lawyers of course.
I’m broken by the removal of the old thread. My interest is gone now. Removing a thread doesn’t makes a difference ever in good terms. I’ll miss you all.
Every country has multiple immigration options, doesn't mean those are viable options. What Canada offers to people seeking immigration, hardly any first-world country does. For an average person who doesn't have ties to the USA, it's virtually impossible to think of immigrating to USA without the study route which itself is not easy.
Not every post is worth responding to. Some of these confusionists thrive off the replies/attention they get. Starve them! 
Although I don't approve of usarules' attitude, I do want to clarify the facts about USA immigration (been there, not doing that):
- They are the best country and will always be selective about taking in immigrants, no problems about that
- There are still pathways one can immigrate, it's just that they are very competitive (but not impossible) AND there are country caps so if you are BORN in India / China you're fucked (for Indians that's double digit years wait for the EB 2/3 route). For ROW people it's much much faster.
- The immigration system is dated and prone to abuse (work visa = lottery based; some used to game the system by filing multiple apps for one applicant / faking resumes to get ppl w/out USA degrees employed etc.) and the current attempt to revamp the scheme is flawed as well.
- No, USA have no plans to drastically increase the intake at all, so it's going to take long before any tangible changes will happen (they are the best country so they can do whatever - look at china / Japan, they are 100x more based)
- I'm no trump fan but I do think his push for merit based immigration system is the way to go
- For those who aspire to immigrate to developed countries, Canada is arguably their ONLY hope (look no further than AUSNZ which used to be a favorite destination; European countries are tough from the get go) They will always play second fiddle to their "elder brother" in the South so it'd always going to be the second best option for those eligible.

I don’t really blame the trolls; it’s those replying them that are fueling the pandemonium.
Can we just discuss progressively and constructively?

No I don't have none; like I said the USA is not for the faint of heart.
For the accomplished they can def give a shot at EB1 class. The other OP might qualify provided that he wasn't hit by visa rejection.
Immigration to the US is a sponsored only immigration. Either a company is willing to sponsor you, which basically means you’re from IT or healthcare(considering you are not from India). Or a family member sponsors you(5-7 years for parent of single applicant, 10-12 years parent of married applicants, 14-20 years for siblings). Other immigration routes are basically for exceptions and not the norm. Trump’s “merit based” was just meant to cut overall immigration by half, eliminate family based and transform employment based into CEC.
Well, I for one am not annoyed by usarules posts. He/she has the freedom to express his views and he/she is not responsible for getting someone's feelings hurt.
I just don't think what he's saying is correct and his prejudice towards immigrants probably stems from how he's been brought up. On the oppposite side of the spectrum, there's a lot of hope for Canadian immigration. The situation right now sucks for the outlanders waiting for PPRs/COPRs/AORs but it will improve. Canada has always welcomed outsiders without any discrimination in the past and will continue to do so. We just have to be patient to see how things will unfold.
