FSW WORLDWIDE

[GandiBaat]

My employer is a big name in tech and has an office in Calgary. Heck, I am in Victoria right now which also is not better than Calgary in terms of on ground presence. Remote working has gone mainstream. Almost everyone I know have been offered a remote job.

The present downturn is purely controlled by central banks of US clamping down on inflation. The day they dial their rates back -- and its not a question of if but a question of when, the tech space is going to be a seller's market again. For big names, recruitment is a major pain. Relocation just makes it harder. You remove relocation part, it become more manageable.

Actually, Oil and Gas is an interesting part. I am not 100% sure but I read somewhere that a lot of Oil simply goes in transportation of goods. I am yet to see a mass scale long haul EV truck or ship. I am sure it will happen but not sure when. Battery tech moves much slower. Gas finds its place in electricity generation and heating. How fast will they lose value? Don't know.

Hope for a draw every Wednesday. I'm hoping for those who are waiting for their ITAs. Best of luck!

Lol have given up now. Its just bull crap at this point. They keep changing rules every other day. Planning for Ireland now. Enough is enough. Good luck to all of you aspirants. Hope y'all make it.

In a sense I am grateful to be home. My grandmother just passed away today. Im glad I was able to spend her last couple years with her. My grandfather is also old, but in much better health. I want to be with him as much as I can as well being the oldest in the family.

I can understand that feeling. The inconsistency in FSW made me wait for 3 years to get my ITA, but there was something to be learned out of it.

Focus on direction over tactics. CRS scores through IELTS + degrees are a mere joke imo. IELTS is a shit easy test. No one should expect to score a CLB 9 in this joke of a test and expect to stay competitive. French is a little bit more tough for new learners, but isn't a mountain to climb,

If Canada is just another country where people think they can live - maybe they were thinking about it in the wrong way.

People should display a degree of thoughtfulness in building immigration plans. If you feel you are thoughtful enough, pick up big guns and fight for what you can.

We see these stories in AU and UK too. Learn from the past and do what you can to not repeat the same mistakes.

Again PNP only draw today with less than 700 invitations. I dont understand at this rate how they’re going to meet their target of taking 425K immigrants this year ?

This is sad, just 667 invitations! This is bad news regardless whether you are FSW or PNP. More ITAs = better for everyone.

Lets see if they make a draw tomorrow too. Once IRCC makes an announcement, we will get to know the real reason behind the pause.

They have enough inventory to land more than 425k immigrants this year.
Only landed immigrants are counted as permanent residents if you go through the backlog for economic immigration, family and all other classes, so they may be going forward with targeted draws.
