Good for you but I think even if someone thinks about Immigrating to Canada; it will take few weeks before he/she can create a profile (ECA, IELTS etc.). Hopefully I get an ITA before that!

I hope reforms are implemented soon so that people whom Canada to get picked up (siblings, student, French) do not have to face the competition.

Trump wins the 2016 presidential election. My friends in the US sent me message asking how they can migrate here in Canada. Funny as it seems but they weren't joking!

This is like Brexit. The Irish immigration website crashed while people worked out how to get Irish visas/passports (If you have an Irish grandparent, you get a passport).

There's going to be LOTS of people researching this but when the shock dies down, or people realise the HASSLE it is to apply to Canada...

There will be more interest and there will be more people in the pool.

USA has like 4x bigger population than UK. And yes it is true, that many many many will find it too much hassle, but still the increase of EE applicants will be felt starting from January. (just like what I think was the income of UK applicants in the summer, but like 4x more).

You're right, I'm just so angry as I feel like to goal posts are constantly moving.

If he next two draw drop, even by a point or two it will help.
