I have had an Australian PR. Never went there because their employers were shit and I love winter.

Look at my chart above.

Also remember, Australia give max point for age from 25-33. So spending time outside of australia can also increase your points.
My biggest problem was the age I was 37 when I graduated ;). But still after seeing Canada, I feel Australia point reduction due to age is much better IRCC policy, can be quickly offset with relevant experience. My doom was a combination of Age, not continuing work in area of study and foolishness of trusting employer and waiting.

True, however sadly most IT degrees don't guarantee IT jobs. Even worse often the most IT employer(s) expectation is the grad/post-grad must join at Analyst roles with low pay is like 50k. A pay like that is not good to self sustain let alone support a family like mine. If one is under 30 they might survive with that pay. Those like me who had loads of experience prior can try getting into their old line of work to survive.
Very few fresh IT graduates make it into IT roles / later PR. As a hiring manager what I have seen is most of those who take those analyst jobs are spouses/partners of existing PR, are switching stream to IT for future potential money, and are ok to take entry level IT jobs as the spouse is already earning in a good or driving a Cab :p. There also a lot of them claim false abroad experience, lack of which shows when they start working.
Believe it or not, thats exactly the reason I did not immediately move to Oz. I wanted to go there with a job. I interviewed with few companies, sitting in India itself. Qantas (they were ready to hire me), WestPac (they ghosted) and then my current employer. They hired me for India but I knew I could switch team in an year.

Entering Oz job market by study or directly resets your career. I wanted to avoid it.

The Huntsman are not that common believe me, the worst are the small spiders e.g. Funnel-web which look like a regular Wall spider but a sting can send you to Paradise. Snakes on the other hand are more common though, I have seen many in parks on Lawns etc..
Man! My worst fears are seeing red on a spider. Sydney funnel web is one heck of a scary spider.

I just hear excuses.

Not everything is about labour shortages, and there are no serious enough concerns that they can't be address with sound policies.

These are just excuses to keep this unsustainable system in place, and have no limits on immigration, and just let everyone in and ruin the country.

I'm not buying it for a second, nor are most people who know what the situation is.

We can always experiment and fine tune over time, and figure out the kinks. But saying this is tough to solve so let's do nothing makes no sense. Those are the sentiments of people who don't want to fix the problem.
I'm saying a per country visa cap sounds like a bad idea. I'm not saying we should do nothing.

Protesting your local government to raise the bar on DLI accreditation sounds like a good idea to me.

Meh, it’s already hard for someone in status to make a living. Being out of status where you only get shit jobs, have no chance for a PR anymore and can’t use the benefits. They will probably give up sooner or later. Sucks for the pets though.
What you are saying makes sense and I see similar response from other forum members too. I hope it turns out this way and they leave organically.

I can fully get what you say and can imagine your struggle if you were not willing to take those entry level roles
- Core techies or Architects are not well received. Aussie companies have already outsourced most coding work to Offshore (India & the Philippines), even if there is a rare role the pay is extremely poor. The reason is there is no innovation or FAANG like organizations, most jobs are implementing and maintaining systems. There is a small startup culture but there also the rush is to offshore the coding since most owners are aware of the lack of local tech talent.
- The demand is high for generalists, people managers and business interacting functionals.
- The Largest IT employer is the Government (Federal, State - Canadian equivalent of province & Cities - Sydney, Brisbane). Federal jobs are strictly only citizens, often even dual citizens are barred, depending on the role there is a need for clearance evaluations many of which take a few years to get, these are done by the RCMP, CSIS equivalents of Australia. The Federal projects need some techies. The others state and cities take PRs but will look for loads of local Oz experience, there most coding is done offshore. The sick part is most of these government roles are for programs which run for multiple decades at a snails pace, will need copious amount of compliance records. Both of these will make restless most of us who like getting things done. Only saving grace is the governments pay is humongous at least 50% more and often twice as private, loads of vacation 20-30 days Vacation, 10 days Sick Leave, after 5 years additional week or two of long service leave etc...
- Worldwide only in Consulting firms and big4, is one made to perform song and dance in coffee culture/wine and dine etc. before recruitment. However In Australia almost every private firm does it even for Team lead roles, and bar becomes higher for mid-management and for leadership make take months to years of such courtship. My MBA has loads of such assignments to do this greasing and lip service.
It is not a bad place if you are into their way of working and have good network of folks to grant you favors. Which means you have to willing to grant favors to others also. Work hours are shorter and less intense than USA. In Canada and USA I have seen clan favoritism which is not very common in Australia.

There are way too many local governments, stakeholders etc. It's just much easier to pressure the federal government to put hard caps and then tweak if necessary.

There is really no shortage in many sectors of the economy. It's all about regulations and so on. StatCan proved how there is no shortage for most jobs.

It is crazy how there are 2-3 million TRVs, but only 214,000 people in the EE pool. Assuming half of these in the pool are outlanders, it is very small in size.

Canada is going in a rather interesting dimension. They will perhaps continue to have "open for all" rounds. And they will also have specialized rounds with possibly lower cut off to attract the right skills they need.

The goal seems to be to fill up the country (Century initiative) and to fill in skill gaps (transport and medical).

And LPC is playing some kind of strategic game. They know immigrants tend to favour left liberals so why not fill the country with more immigrants. Helps the businesses. Helps them. Avoids a Japan like situation.

Hi guys need guidance regarding Creating Express entry profile, in work experience, should I mention all experiences? as I have 2 experiences but out which 1 experience is of 3.3 years (this experience matches 100% to primary NOC) and other experience is of 1 year (this match only 50% of primary NOC), so should I mention this 1-year experience too while selecting the same NOC for this experience too? will this has any effect after invitation?

Mention all the experiences. You can choose one primary NOC. You can have multiple NOC's but only one primary NOC that will give you points.
