To be honest, I don't think the government doesn't care much about the ordinary voters except re-election time
Speaking of which, there could be a surge of thousands of Americans entering the EE pool after 8 Nov..... :eek:

November 1 rst, sounds like i good day for possible changes, if not then i dont think changes will be announced this year. If you have 400 points wait for ontario pnp to open or if you qualify for any other pnp do it. when you have people with pnp getting additional 600 points it is really good to consider the fact that unless extra points for siblings and international students reach 100 or 200 points it is going to be really hard to receive an ITA. a lot of people enter the pool daily and and too many of then with job offers or pno getting thoses 600 ADDITIONAL POINTS right way. To be able to compete at least 200 additional points should be given to inter. Students, french speakers and siblings, otherwise i think it is going to be the same thing. If they want people who speak french to settle outside quebec you would want to provide them if all the additional points possible to perserve the french language in canada and you see only one province besides quebec has a french program ect. ect... my point is to be able to compete in the pool one must be able to get at least additional 200 points. Im afraid 50 to 100 points wont make any difference unless you are already over 450 points

The new changes are also going to "significantly" reduce LMIA points. So 600pts might be a thing of the past. In this case, then CEC and applicants with canadians will get an important push/advantage.

Im just saying pnp provides additional 600 that keeps the cutoff always high. To compete with that it is only logical same amount to be given to international graduates otherwise it will be the same thing

Personally, I think extra 100 or 200 points (pts) for canadian siblings, canadian degree and speaking french is too many and a bit unrealistic. As most of CEC applicants aka former int'l students usually has around 410 ~ 440 CRS already. Therefore, an extra 50 to 80 pts for each of those thing is more than enough.

If we give to many extra points toward CEC, I don't think the FSW stream has a chance to compete.

Pnp quotas are separate from federal. No need to change anything with pnp.

Again it is just a statement. All will depend on how the manage the cutoff and the amount of invitations . And it is not unrealistic they have already stated priority to international students, family and perserve the french in canada. Express entry is going to change by next year with inter students on top of the pool that is a big posibility that can not be denied based on electoral campaigns and latest events. I am not a student but that s the way it is

I'm confused, did they change the job duration to 1 year? The new regulations did not mention anything about it. ::)
