Very good news. It should mean that all the applicants will have visa issued by end of January 2016.
I am settling well as I have started decent job in my field but in a very small city (town) in Saskatchewan. I have started working as a Senior Accountant in a CPA firm here, also working towards my CPA Canada designation. I am a CA from Nepal.
I think job market is still good in provinces like Saskatchewan and Manitoba unlike Ontario, BC and Alberta which are almost saturated and employers are even laying off employees.
It's good to work in a small town/city for a year or so, and then after gaining experience, to move to bigger or mid-sized cities.
