His Highness Kubeir sir only can save this person's lost soul

 

[wierdaf]

I don't understand how can this dude understand classes taught in English or communicate with the students and professors.

looks like a proud graduate of lambda class of 2023. Slaying it in the job market as a beverage consultant at a Starbucks near you. #ipaytaxes

 

[GandiBaat]

He is basically removing all incentive to come to Canada and taking a higher level program. Now everyone will just get a lamba certificate -> PR

Think it from their point of view... they have this MASSIVE amount of natural resource : forestry, mines, oil sands and what not... resources they cannot extract because they don't have enough need and enough people. You bring in more people, more workers, you can extract resources cheaply and grow economy and taxes. Trouble with "highly" skilled folks like us is that governments don't have right capability to sift and rank us and agility to follow the market. So, they let the market dictate it. You come with job offer and you get PR. Or you study here, you get a job and then you get PR.

I now think they just want to expand their population to cover entire Canada... Not a bad idea if you want to be majorly a resource extraction economy. Its a pity they still do not care about manufacturing...

You're not wrong. Canada is a resource economy primarily, like Australia. But, before what was happening was that from all the FSWs, the top tier ones got the white-collar jobs and the bottom tiers had to settle for what people call 'survival jobs', mid-tiers go into customer service. It was kind of like survival of the fittest. I guess, they are trying to target more these days so people are less unhappy? lol. If you are dumb as sht/life was even rougher in your home country, then you're not gonna mind being paid 14/hr

 

[GandiBaat]

Wonder whats Ottawa doing with all the flurry of remeds and ADRs without actually approving the files and releasing PPRs. Crazy shit going on right now lol.

This is what happens when you run a stupid rule-book system. Almost ALL of folks who were having re-meds never needed one. Their last medicals were less than 1-3 years back. These are young folks. Its stupid to do this re-med to just catch few mythical people who developed serious medical issues in 1-3 year timeframe AFTER you vetted them fully. But being a rule-follower (who break those rules when its advantageous to their political interests), they will waste ALL this time, money and effort to hunt those 2-3 such people. Its a racist thing they have running in Canada. They feel all third world people are disease carrying filth. So they want to check presence of TB and what not.

Here is the news flash, these idiots do not even do TB vaccination! My son needs to get TB vaccines SPECIALLY and we have to ask our doctor to get it for him! BCG doses that is. Because sooner than the later we will visit India.

I will say, unlike Australia, Canada did not realise (atleast their politicians were not honest about it) that it is a resource extraction economy. Or may be it is one of those things which they do not want to admit even though they are.

They take pride in being this high tech civilisation from the future... the WaCanada of North America.

May be its hard to sell immigrating all the rough necks to the Canadians. May be Canadians feel their jobs being threatened if they are getting all these folks who can work in forestry or mines. So they say that they are getting all these super-duper high skilled folks and they throwing them in bottom feeder jobs.

Spot on.

Whatever happens, govt benefits. If they managed to get high skilled jobs - good. Low skilled jobs - good. If they spend a year and return back home - good (contributed to canadian economy) .

They did send a lot of PPRs on 13th Jan. Though I’m not sure if there has been much of a PPR rain post that.

Maybe Fraser is saving up inventory to release all at once on Feb 10th.

 

[ImpatientAlligator]

Why 10th feb any relevance to that date?

They when they'll announce the immigration targets with a big show-and-tell.

PNP light speed processing incoming

 

[wierdaf]

Even for that you need to greet the customer and have good customer service and be able to maintain a friendly and decent conversation. Especially Starbucks because you're are not charged for that coffee which taste like garbage but the service and the ambiance in the coffee shop.

I think lambda has a whole course dedicated to it and other random stuff

Canadian immigration minister talks backlogs, international students and PGP in TV interview
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser appeared on Prime Asia TV Canada to discuss topical issues in Canadian immigration.

Canada’s minister of immigration, Sean Fraser, sat down to talk about Canadian immigration with Prime Asia TV business head, Deepinder Singh.

The interview covered a number of topics relating to challenges brought on by the pandemic and possible solutions for the future. Among other things, Fraser spoke about his mandate to support immigration pathways for international students and temporary foreign workers, and the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP).

Singh began the interview asking about the backlog of 1.8 million people waiting to get a decision on their applications to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). He noted that the impending applications are enough to exceed the current immigration targets for this year. As per the 2021-2023 Multi-year Immigration Levels plan, Canada is expected to land 411,000 newcomers this year, although that could change when the new targets are released in February.

Fraser said the problem began with the pandemic. In order to exceed their 2021 target of 401,000 newcomers amid travel restrictions, Canada had to land people who were already in the country. He also noted that there was an increase in the number of people who applied to come to Canada. As a result, they ended with two normal years worth of applications in the inventory, but it does not mean IRCC will not consider new applications.

Express Entry draws and programs for international students
Given that there have been no Express Entry draws for Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates since September, people who would normally be eligible to apply for immigration are seeing their temporary statuses expire, forcing them to quit their jobs or even leave Canada. Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) candidates, who are largely outland candidates but also inland, have not had a draw since December 2020.

Fraser did not say if there were any work permit extensions being made for these candidates. He did reference his mandate letter, which calls for him to find pathways to permanent residence for international students and temporary foreign workers. He said there have been no final decisions on what those different programs will look like.

Fraser said the pause in FSWP draws is temporary, and that Canada does intend to resume draws for this program. He did not give a timeline.

He also said he was interested in exploring new ways to make it easier for international students to consider their studies a “springboard” to Canadian permanent residency.

“There’s some work that needs to be done to get there, but I’m committed to doing that work,” Fraser said.

Express Entry backlogs
It has been recently revealed through an internal memo that some Express Entry candidates could wait up to 20 months, almost three years, to get a decision on their file.

In response to Singh’s question on the topic, Fraser said, “to suggest everyone is going to be waiting three years is not a fair assessment.”

The memo had referenced specifically that FSWP candidates were looking at processing times of about 20 months, and CEC candidates were facing wait times of nearly eight.

Fraser said that the government would continue to to have Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)-specific Express Entry draws.

The minister also said he is looking to increase the number of newcomers who arrive in Canada—both as temporary residents and permanent residents—and make it easier for temporary residents to gain permanent residency status over the long term.

Canada needs immigrants to support labour shortages
Fraser noted that Canada is short one million workers, and that 100% of labour force growth comes from foreign workers.

The issue of slow work-permit processing is one of the five areas covered in Canada’s $85 million budget to improve the immigration system. Fraser also says he anticipates the Trusted Employer Stream will reduce barriers for employers that have a good track record of hiring foreign workers.

Plans for special health care worker programs
Fraser confirmed there were plans to allow more foreign health care workers move to Canada. He said the issues is important as there are currently only three health care workers for every senior in Canada, and the labour shortage issue will only keep growing.

He said Canada is prioritizing the processing of foreign health care workers, an initiative which started doing during the pandemic.

Fraser also said that some of the other options they have is to work with the PNPs, and improve foreign credential recognition.

Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP)
Fraser called the PGP his biggest challenge as immigration minister.

“One of the thing that makes this the most challenging stream is the demand we have given the spaces that are traditionally available,” Fraser said.

The immigration minister said in a given year there are about 200,000 applicants applying for some 10,000 spaces.

In 2020 and 2021, the PGP was once again a lottery system. Critics say the lottery system is unfair to those who have been waiting in the pool of candidates for years. In defence of the lottery system, Fraser said, “although it does not work out for everyone it does put everyone on equal footing.”

Fraser said he is actively seeking feedback from colleagues, but did not say one way or the other if the methodology would change for PGP applications this year.

These guys are so late in reporting. We discussed about this interview 3 days ago in detail. Btw, nothing new.

That would be fine and good if they had a job offer. But these guys are buying work permits.
