FSW WORLDWIDE

[Shravan_Kumar]

They wont because there is too much STEM applicants event from PNP or genral draw. They need to calculate that and give out the rest ITA to meet the cap. While there is not much French applicant in PNP or genral draw because all of them are in Quebec and IRCC need to meet the cap for French too that why they draw that every single week loll

I know, I am one of the STEM PNP guys hoping for nomination through SINP. I fully expect IRCC to go on a pause again and only start in the second half of the new year by which time the scores will be high again.

Hope you get your invite soon. Good idea to start french(if you can).

Yep, I was about to say that too.

I'm also going through MB PNP. Getting through express entry is not reliable unless you have 520+ scores. For most FSWs, this would only be possible through French and/or LMIA.


Also Future of FSW is not bright as ten of thousands of young PGWPs with 2 or more years of Canadian experience are returning home next year, and they would have massive legs up due to Canadian education + inflated Canadian experience (due to pgwp extension). That's unless they change the current CRS system. Although we don't really know how lmias are affecting the distribution and how many of these returnees would be more than willing to go back.

Yes, inflation has spread into CRS scores

Welcome back my friend!

To be fair, they were prepared for this as they increased the amount of years you could claim points for work experience from 5 years back to 10 years - This was back during Covid. I remember back in 2018, the point for 2 years of Canadian work experience is the same than that of 1, I forgot when they exactly changed the scoring.

Also, the changes from NOC to TEER brought up quite a lot of NOCs that were originally ineligible for EE, such as truck driver. Manitoba has loads of them, MPNP points were quite low for few draws after the EE transport draw. I heard from a local consultancy that its mostly lamdas who graduated (or not) from Ontario. The trick is to utilize time when studying to get yourself a truck license.

Australia, as usual, is making pretty sensible changes. Trudeau and Miller are not capable of thinking of half of such changes.

One question to you and others though. We tie immigration as the biggest factor in housing, jobs, etc related issues. Now that cap is on the table, we have seen almost 50% reduction in interest in Canada's education from key geographies in July-Oct 2023. What would most be left with to blame once they got rid of everything?

I'd not be surprised to see nothing improve/degrade in Canada. Those poor TFWs are simply just an excuse for no innovation and lazy workforce in Canada. We are not too far from the time when they'll be gone, I'd not be surprised to see the blame shift somewhere else.

For example, people talk about healthcare being messed up due to TFWs. But, Canadian govt decided to reduce number of graduating doctors and then the limited batch of doctors demanded "We are taxpayers, we get residencies first". Now, this was a good take if no one was dying as a result of this monopolistic and narcissistic approach, but they'd rather make immigrant doctors/non-citizen-licensed doctors drive Uber, but won't let them work and save lives. There are literally thousands of people who die due to missed diagnosis, but most would rather blame TFWs working at Timmies, rather than these people who are actually preferring selfish residencies over someone's lives.

You see, sensible changes lie elsewhere. We are just busy beating the weak ones and making ourselves look better. TFW related news is just massive noise that hides the biggest holes in the system (greedy Canadian RE owners, residency monopoly, $3 carrots priced in Ontario available in the US for $0.99 when they are originally from Ontario,etc).

It has been a while since I left the forum. But my FSW application is still pending, after 37 months waiting. It is so frustrating. I am wondering if there is anyone who applied in 2020 through express entry stream and not been approved yet?

Canada doesn’t need foreign doctors. There’s enough supply of local medical grads but the issues is the number of residencies. It’s capped by the doctor association, whatever it’s called to have salary competitive to the US

The fear is that oversupply of docs = lower wages and less benefits which is true. Same reason why it’s hard for foreign doctors

More like the doctor mafia as many call it.
