Ray of Hope - 141st Draw

[asimhafeez19]

Yes you can and you must notify OINP of the changes. However, your $1500 is gone for good

It is gone for good anyway. But accept FSW invite would save me time, right? I mean that would be the right option. I submitted the fee because I didnt wanna chance at 468

OINP has been fast in processing applications in recent time . Less than 2 months . Ultimately, time is saved if you get a direct ITA and mobility from province to province is guaranteed

Any suggestions if someone is temporarily laid off from work due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, how can this gap be justified to the Canadian immigration ?

Explain in LoE. Not an issue.

This is the problem. If you think it is trash, then better keep thinking about what you have been thinking. If a person in the government body is telling something and if I cascade the exact information, believing or not is up to individuals.
I'm not enforcing this or persuading people into something else.
More than the information, you are the best trash.
Mind your words.
If you are hopeful, can you tell me why it has been a month since a FSW draw took place (apart from CEC and PNPs). If truth sounds hard to you, then better stay off track.
What is said it true and believing or not believing is up to one's education standard or good morality.

Members of bar council are not govt

I am not refuting or believing you, but bar council members/staff do not represent the Govt. The bar association is where lawyers get a license to practice in that province. The bills are not passed or modified by them.

Hi All. How can I change the funds I am looking at bringing over on my profile? Or does it not matter as long as I'm above the minimum (I am applying as a single person). Thank you

These are uncertain times. I kindly ask everyone to refrain from spreading rumours and half-cooked stories here. If there is anything we should know, IRCC will let us know. With the upfront medicals suspended, maybe they are coming up with a way to process the current applications efficiently. They will try their best to meet the 6-month processing time; however, there is likely going to be a delay as they can't run background checks due to the pandemic. It could also explain why we had a CEC and a PNP draw instead of a regular draw. This does not mean they are stopping FSW or regular draws altogether. We do not have any information to support this. All we know right now is IRCC has confirmed the rounds of invitations are still happening.

We have five Wednesdays this month which could also explain why a draw was skipped. Looking at the history of draws, there have been several times where the draws were skipped. While this caused a spike in the cut-off score, it was temporary. I suggest everyone to stop panicking and focus on something else until we have more information. Be positive.

If you have already created EE profile.
Go to personal details section, under that you will find funds.

May I ask, how does a standard draw look like? Let's say they send out ITA to 4500 applicants, does this mean these 4500 applicants are a mix of PNP, CEC, and FSW?

Yes

Agree 100%.

Yes

So, perhaps, they may just increase the ratio of PNP and CEC invitation in comparison to FSW. This may seem reasonable from IRCC's perpective given the pandemic.

Thanks for your reply so what I understand the gap won't count towards the experience period but it can be justified in a LOE ?

Difficult to say what they intend doing but we are hoping that a general draw is held. That seem to be A better option for everyone.

I do not think so. You see, the problem for everyone is getting their documents ready. FSW candidates usually have more documents to submit and live outside Canada. Canada does not have any control over other countries. So, even if they do an FSW (or even a CEC) draw today, it will be extremely hard for most candidates to get their documents ready within 90 days. I heard that they have increased the time to submit the documents from 60 to 90 days.

So, from their perspective, they might monitor the situation closely and conduct draws as they see fit. It is too early to say if they will increase the ratio of PNP and CEC invitations. As per the stats released by IRCC, most Express Entry applicants come from India and India has been on lockdown for days now and it's not ending for another few days. I am saying there is a possibility of a delayed draw but it will happen. I am positive we will know more this week.
