Yeah Lambda graduated me in 3 months and I got PR quite fast afterwards. Cost me only half a million (thank god CAD, not USD) but it was worth it.
Got my ITA today! 
After waiting a month in the pool. Now to actually fill in this application...
BTW, there will be a place to upload documents after filling in all these forms, right?

I thought there will be no changes this time around since they need to announce something to the parliament before some due dates and they didn't actually do it, right?
Well, 7000 more EE applications for IRCC to prioritize. I've been waiting for 30 months now (AOR Oct 2020, got a few ADR late last year, but that's it). I guess mine will be finalized in 2024.
I worked remotely for a company outside Canada while I was studying for my Masters's in Canada, does this foreign experience count towards my total experience for FSW?
Not sure, maybe you're right. The last few weeks have been pretty crazy preparing for the move so maybe I missed some updates.
They don't need to announce the categories before making the C-19 draws. The only requirement is to announce the categories at the end of 2023 (around Feb 2024) on what categories were the draws were conducted under.
There was some misinterpretation of when the categories should be announced. But it is clear that they can well easily announce it next year. So C-19 might just be around the corner.
So what actually happened is that my sister had entered a part-time period that started in April and then her full-time new period starting on June. That was the reason why she got the ITA in March. Sorry if I mislead anybody with this.
She just rejected the invitation and fixed the dates in her profile.
Any official sources where we can read this?
I feel that their draw patterns have been really weird recently.
Are they trying to keep the CRS above 490 by stopping draws every few weeks and hold a large draw after that?
Yea bro I heard they are. They utterly despise sub 490s and think of them as subhuman

You can read info shared by RCICs, also can read what Kubier recently shared (he's an RCIC too). He explained this in his last IG post too.
To speak the truth, your fellow immigrants are your competition. IRCC is not doing anything (them not being perfect is hardly an issue). This is a marketplace with a demand and supply problem. There are millions in this marketplace trying to land a supply of thousands. So, CRS can easily stay high.
I feel it is impossible to do the right math. But if they already issued ~21k ITAs out of a 70k goal for this year and with so many people above 500 being added to the pool each month, PNPs bloating 500+ CRS holders, etc - I don't think low CRS is going to work out for anyone.
Even under extreme pressures, IRCC can't/won't make that many draws to reduce CRS scores. Right now most CECs are coming in from either FSW + CEC categories or 2018/2019 student graduate + CEC categories. We are not even looking at the truckload of diploma mill graduates from 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.
This will be very ugly. One day, H1B holders will laugh at how hard it is to immigrate to Canada.
In the past, what IRCC did to meet its goal was to draw 3K candidates every two weeks consistently. Now, they do a big draw every few weeks, then pause, and no news whatsoever. These two strategies have very different impacts on how low the CRS scores can be even if we keep the same supply and demand and competition. It also makes Canadian immigration becomes unpredictable (& most people are panicking), especially given that Canadian immigration's strength is that there is a clear immigration pathway compared to other countries. I guess we all want to see them just do small draws consistently and steadily rather than just disappear and suddenly have big draws out of the blue. Yes, it's all competition and we certainly don't expect IRCC to conduct a very large draw just for the sake of reducing CRS scores, but competition also needs some rules of the game and one of those rules was consistent draws every two weeks.
(Also, I understand some people that say even every two weeks is IRCC's discretion and we can't expect anything, which is true in some ways and a beggar can't be a chooser)

I think Bill C19 implementation caused tech glitches. I am an IT engineer and I can understand that. What happens when new functionality is rolled out. And IRCC has mentioned they prefer people who are already settled/present in Canada to become PR.
