FSW WORLDWIDE

[greatstrides]

Maybe my expectations are low or I don't know any better - but I find it helpful enough. Being a private person in life, never taking favors, never working for poor employers or renting cheap - maybe I dodged general shitty-ness by design of life. I do however had a lot worse experiences with Indians in India

Indeed, being a private person who never took favor from anyone, never had poor employers or never had to rent cheap, you will find it hard to empathize with those who actually had such experiences. And in the rat race world we're living today unfortunately, more and more people will have such experiences.

I have heard from many people that in reality he's quite the opposite of what he's trying to portray in his videos. People who defend him are just as bad as people who want to hate on him.

This is a great point to begin the actual discussion.

IRCC has been criticized so much for not saying openly and blatantly that "PR is a difficult game, 90% students won't get it" - There are documentaries, tweets, etc that you can go through from students to back up this claim. Everyone says (and literally cries) that someone would've told them how hard it would be post paying for this education. Sean Fraser said it in one of the documentaries that few students will actually make it to PR.

Kubeir is doing exactly what IRCC is being criticized for. I think he's playing a decent role in saying it is hard.

About the portrayal. From a million TRVs - how many do you think will make the cut? I think the number of people who'll go back speaks for the TRUE representation of results. Same goes for 460s, they are unlikely to make the cut. Definitely Kubeir or any other consultant saying this won't make him a bad person.

People who defend him are just as bad as people who want to hate on him.

How is he a bad person? A person telling you an outcome could be wrong or right too. I'm yet to see a reason for hating him, but I do see his contribution and that's something that is to be appreciated. I have to have a reason to hate someone. My spouse hired a consultant for my FSW in 2019 when I was out of India, we paid ~$1,300. That consultant did nothing on my application for 3-5 months. I hate that immigration company, as they clearly scammed me of money (and opportunity to be in a pool when CRS was low). But, I don't see a reason to hate him yet.

The comments in response to my post are deflective (not from you, both others) and that says what's wrong with them.

I think you're not getting the point I was trying to make dude. No one dislikes Kubeir because he's providing wrong information. I get it! He's real, knowledgeable and the way he talks appeals to many people and he doesn't try to sugarcoat the reality. I agree!

But that being said, the reason people don't like him is because he comes across as a massive snob to many people. Even on his live chat discussion sometimes he's quite rude with people who are sending him superchats, etc. You could be a very intelligent but yet have a reprehensible personality. You might not find his behavior as rude or unwelcoming but many people do! And there isn't much you can do about it either.

So I get all your points about bad consultants and the lack of knowledge they have but people aren't hating Kubeir because of that, it's just that many find him to be sanctimonious. A lot of folks who had consultations with him actually say the very same thing. That he has a terrible disposition. You may think otherwise, and in that case we can only agree to disagree.

I've learned it the very hard way how immature some people here can really be. They might as well be tweeting "Free TopG" on Twitter to support Andrew Tate and shedding tears over it. So, take advice here with caution. Look at those that are very senior and have been sharing quality info from years and years. Stay away from certified meme posters

The argument that he capitalizes on fear is like saying "Oh, Wendy's sell on the fear of hunger". People went as far as saying he "hate" immigrants. He's a consultant, immigrants are his business. Look at most of the demographics that are complaining - they are young, early 20s gen who still haven't seen anything yet.

Someone quoted a bad review threat and that Kubeir refunded them - well, if they ever ran a business, they'd know how common that shit really is. Talks volumes about the maturity of people you're hearing from. He's not doing that bad work with those videos. For his "math skills", his analysis is honest.

Did someone mention @dankboi?

This is exactly it. I appreciate that he is looking at the data to his best abilities and judging it as honestly as he is able to. The data does not care about your feelings nor mine. They are what they are and that's how he prefers to present it, not sugarcoat it.

Indians hating Indians is very common.

Is Kubeir even Indian?

Buddy, Ive had some terrible experiences myself. Cant believe how much I paid for help, which amounted in zero results. I wish there was an IRCC educational program that would empower us, teach us how it works, and not fall victim to scams.

True. Data is date. But people do judge his personality and those have dealt with him personally often do not like his demeaner. Like okay, he's intelligent but if he's not able to form a rapport then eventually he'll have haters, like anyone else. And I have heard quite often that he is pretty egoistic with his clients. But then again, I don't have a skin in this game, I am not for or against him. Just sharing what I heard from many people who used his services, including some close friends.

I am stuck at 480, being patient, and not planning to learn French from scratch to be told that I need other qualifications from scratch to even get into a professional field once there.

I will say bite the bullet and learn the darned language. Its not just for profit but for fun too. Folks here always say Quebec is a wonderful place for dating.

IRCC is no one's advisor. PR is hard is a very recent phenomenon. Actually these things occur in ebbs and flow. There was a time back in 2013 or so when getting a PR in Australia was a cakewalk. You need 60 points and you are done! There was a time when getting PR in Canada was a cakewalk. You needed decent IELTS, < 30 age, Few years job exp and you were done. Australia tightened the noose and in case of Canada, the neck got fatter.

I am sure once Canada takes more nuanced approach to immigraion by profession and place of settlement, cut off will come down.

 

[Windsor37]

Why do I always get the feeling that Kubeir wants the CRS to stay high (not sure what his reason is but lowkey from his tone of speaking I always feel that he doesn't want outsiders to come to CA)

Is it just me or do others get a similar feeling?

It's business, if CRS scores stay high the more likely they'll seek help from consultants like him.

I thought CRS will increase instead?

PR is still very easy tbh. Giving shit easy exams like IELTS, moderately annoying exams like TEF, etc can still save an applicant from either: taking the student route or becoming an investor. People can raise as little as $100k in funds and qualify for startup PR as well(2-3 years of wait though, still better than spending on a degree).

About the nuanced approach - I'm not 100% sure if that's going to be an easy path.

When AU started inviting by categories, most students took new courses, worked new jobs to make those cut offs. Some did it for another 4-5 years before giving up. While it had an impact on brand AU, it didn't impacted the number of TRVs in AU by a lot. What those low cut offs did was to create endless loops of "hopefulness" where people though if I got this education and 1 year exp - I'll get a PR in the next 2 years. When they reached those cutoffs, so did a lot more - the cut off category wise went up. AU's category specific invites fluctuated in numbers too.

Brand Canada is easily 2x Brand AU right now when it comes to immigration. It is very hard to say what would be the outcome here.

if you think about it some of the in demand professions like construction workers or software engineers or iirc truck drivers are not abundant in the pool as you’d think. If Canada needs 25000 software engineers / developers in a year (a random number I’m guessing) from outside Canada then the crs for that NOC would probably be 450s even. For truck drivers and construction workers I don’t think it will even be above 425.

NOC matters for the economy. Removing people from the pool with the most in demand NOCs will drop the CRS very quickly. The first in line will be the lucky ones when this starts. After a while that will also be tougher to get into as more people start considering Canada while at the same time Canada starts having enough immigrations from that NOC pool.

Pretty sure Software developers are in excess supply (while being in an in-demand profession). I don't think CRS for it would be low.
