Canada needs immigrants to boost her economy, so I don't think IRCC will kill immigration (or even lower the quota). But IRCC is notorious for its lack of transparency, so who knows? At the end of the day we can only hope for the best. For now I can only say there is still plenty of room to be optimistic, cuz my calculation is pretty conservative (like 3000/draw is less than pre-pandemic level, 1200/draw of 501-600 every single time is probably not gonna happen, etc). Another thing worth waiting for is gonna be the new level plan, which should be published in November.

If it’s the job offer that was used to obtain the work permit, then it cant be used. You need to obtain a new job offer letter and it should be recent and not more than 1 year old when you submit the application and the letter should have that clause about one year post PR - otherwise they tend to reject the 50 points , though some lucky ones might still go through depending on the officer who’s looking at the file making a mistake
IRCC defies logic so it can all go to shit lol.
But anyways your calculations based on those assumptions sounds about right to me
Anyone else received an email from IRCC asking us to "Complete new questions about your Canadian education in Express Entry"? Of course the explanation link they included in the email is utterly useless/provides no explanation, not even sure how to find said new questions
Yes. Just updated. You have to go to your profile and edit it. The new questions will be in the "study and languages" section. Do you know how to get there?
The new questions are: did you attend more than 50% of your studies in person? Did you study full time for at least 8 months? Were you physically present in Canada for at least 8 months during your studies?
If I stayed in Canada for the whole 2 years of education but only went to class for one semester (the rest is online due to Covid). Do I put No for the first question (50% of study in person)?
Just be honest in your answer. If you click to the question mark next to the question, you may find it wouldn't affect your profile that much.
Did they ask this to everyone? Why are they asking? I didnt get this yet wondering whats up
Yeah but I haven't received it still. What is it going to be used for? Is it rolling to everybody?
My friend still hasn't either, probably they were not sending at the same time. Or you can just check your profile in "Study" sector
This is what's in the email:
"This is to notify you that there have been changes to how Express Entry evaluates Canadian education credentials that may impact your Express Entry profile.
If you have claimed to have a Canadian educational credential, you should update your profile by answering three new questions in the Education History section about the amount of in-person study/training, study/training in Canada and full-time study/training you completed to obtain the credential. If these fields remain incomplete, your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points score may drop and you could miss an opportunity to be invited to apply for permanent residence."
I updated mine but my score didn't change so I'm not sure how this affects future draws.
Perhaps they are changing what is considered Canadian education. As in, who gets to keep points for Canadian education?
