Hi it is in the news here:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/nationalpost.com/news/politics/despite-reduction-in-high-skilled-immigrants-canada-will-still-have-the-people-to-fill-jobs-minister/wcm/b40017c7-71c5-4ba3-8741-86ec2fae0743/amp/
We have requested the video from ApplyBoard. I’ll post it here once it is released to us.
Thanks, but I didn't find any good news in this link.
It doesn't mention CEC at all.
It does mention FSW, saying it will resume in near term, which equals to saying nothing.
Bad news are obvious on the other hand:
1. "Despite reduction in high-skilled immigrants, Canada will still have the people to fill jobs"
2. "The government hasn’t specified how many refugees it will take from Ukraine".
Only hope is "Fraser said it could be later this spring before Canada was even inviting applicants to apply again."
But it is not a quote from the minister, and the use of "could be" indicates that it is not a certain thing at all...
Yes, I understand. Also note that newspapers extract information from interviews based on their interest so they did not cover the part where he spoke lengthy about draws resumption. When you witness the video you will get a better perspective. I am also eagerly awaiting the draws and have been stressed. But listening to the interview I felt a bit hopeful. I’ll share it here once it is available.

Thank you so much. I am looking forward to the video.
There has been bad news after bad news since last September when CEC was stopped. Every bit of good news will be appreciated.
The suggestion made by CBA that advocates for a new pathway for TRs has been ignored by the Minister I guess.
It is understandable. I would ignore it as well if I were in his position.
The similar TR2PR program messed up everything. It doesn't make sense to do it once again. But the problem is when CEC will be resumed.
It hasn’t even been a month. since the recommendation is out. I’m not sure how influential CBA is but they seem to work closely with the minister. I do not believe he would straight out ignore it , maybe he will implement it partially or even fully. The cec+ stream suggested is not as broad as TR2PR, so maybe it could be a thing
I do think they need to start inviting people before the backlog is over. TR2PR is not part of the same quotas - whatever they do with it, has nothing to do with CEC and FSW.
They still need people for 2023, as I understand, and they need to start inviting them early enough so with 6-8 month processing time these people can land in 2023. The latest they can start inviting for 2023 landing is March 2023, but I don't think it makes sense, because by the time they have cleared up the backlog until March 2023, they would have no files to process, and then they'd get a huge batch in March, which would create new backlogs. This is why I think they need to start inviting new people this year. My estimation is after the summer the latest. (September perhaps?)

Hey,
That's what I am thinking to do. I calculated the score with minimum score in TCF, one get 15 points for that...!!!
If IRCC has plans for cec draw next year, then I will loose another 5 points for my age.
Please follow this link and see what he said.
Thank you so much. This is excellent.
1. FSW will resume in Spring (what about CEC though?)
2. There will be approaches to extent PGWP in the next a few weeks or months (months? seriously???).
The same question. LoL. He's been saying the same since Dec 2021 and always says "weeks and months" carefully to be on safer side. No proper plan
And even June is still Spring. So we have to wait another THREE months for CEC to resume...
I think the # of apps being invited after the draws resume will be very limited.
In the past it was 6000 per 4 weeks, but it will be 3000 or even 2000 in this year IMO, because IRCC doesn't really need new apps, they are resuming it only because the pressure on them. In other words, they will invite 12k-ish apps in this year.
It also depends on whether IRCC will hold CEC and FSW draws separately or not.
If not, then no way it will drop under 450 in 2022, not even in 2023. There are 50K+ apps in pool whose CRSs are higher than 450.
If yes, it depends on how many CEC apps in the pool have a crs higher than 450, which we don't know. But I think there are not many, and maybe in the first half of 2023 it will drop below 450.
