Minister just responded to a reporter saying the increased points for the International Students will be implemented in coming weeks.

He mentioned additional points for intl students just now. "In the coming weeks..."

"Coming Weeks" That's were these politicians are very good at. I was hoping if he would provide a date instead. Otherwise we'll keep hearing these words "coming weeks".

I think I heard him say that there will be an announcement that students will be awarded additional points, not sure if he said "implemented".

Just heard it too. He said "an announcement" regarding awarding extra points for intl students will be "in the coming weeks". Hopefully this means announcement = immediate implementation but who knows, hey? "Coming weeks" also seems vague still... like "this fall".

Yep. There is a very thin line between the two but what really bothers is "Coming Weeks"

I know! They have been going on and on about changes to EE before the elections. Sucks for people like me who would have achieved permanent residency if it wasn't for EE shortchanging students since its implementation. I am counting on my score bumping up to 469 once I complete my second year at work in couple of months.

They have been saying additional points for this and that since nov. 2015. I wonder if they just like to talk about it
