Ray of Hope - 141st Draw

[Aysherman]

I am still waiting to finish my 1 year of work experience to qualify for CEC. I bet there are others in the same boat.

Is your workplace open? Are you still working?

 

[Aysherman]

Exact same score here, good luck!

And exact same score here.

Is your workplace open? Are you still working?

Yes. My employer falls under the essential business sector, so they are open. I am working from home.

You are lucky then. I am 7 weeks short for my 1 year canadian work experience and I am under EI now because I was temporarily laid off due to Corona Virus.
I am an ECE working in a daycare.

I am sorry to hear about that. This should not last too long. If it is possible at all, talk to your employer about the consequences of you not being able to meet 1 year of Canadian work experience and ask them if it is possible to keep you on their payroll. As long as you are on the payroll, it is counted as work experience regardless of the operations of the business. With the government offering subsidies to businesses to keep employees on their payroll, it does not hurt to ask.

Is there any specific reason for three PNPs in one day? When will these PNPs affect the EE cut-score and the respective candidates get 600 point? Does this happen in the comming draw?

 

[Marziyeh]

Do you think these PNPs will increase cut-score?if yes, when?

I think they just send NOIs to selected candidates in the draws done by the provinces. Each province has its own processing time. So, it is hard to say when it will take effect. For example, let's say that Ontario is doing a human capital priority draw, they will be sending NOIs to Express Entry candidates who meet their criteria. Once the candidates receive the NOI, they have 45 days to respond to it. After a complete application, OINP can take around 60 days to issue a letter of nomination. So, this entire process could take somewhere around 2-3 months.

Thank you friend.
I already asked them and they are amazing people. but the problem is they get fined if they issue any payrolls according to an email regarding Childcare closures.
They would keep me on the payroll if they could.
It s just so unfair.

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum. I just entered the pool on 28 Mar 2020; hopefully, the next draw will be done soon. I got my ECA report on 19 Mar, took IELTS on 22 Mar and receive TRF on 28 Mar 2020. I guess things have been going fast for me since I only got to know the immigration process earlier this year.
I hope my score is good enough for the upcoming round(s). I am turning 30 this August so... fingers crossed to me!.

How's the job market looking after this pandemic is over. All I hear is layoffs left and right. Do you think priority will be given to CEC ?

I don't think there will be any draw on April 1st because they usually update the table in the cic page with the latest number of candidates before a draw. Just speculation.

I have not seen this before. As per my knowledge, they do not update the distribution table until after they release the data for the most recent draw. I do not know where you got this idea from.
