Ray of Hope - 141st Draw

[akh136]

Lolz, IRCC won’t respond to any question till Tuesday. Could this mean that they intend releasing update on Monday?

I think it's just coz of holidays
Nothing else

I want to go through PNP. But dont have any idea from where to start. Currently we are sitting with 470. Is there any group or forum, from where i can start?

I would recommend visiting each of the province's nomination program websites for specific info.

And then here is the section on this website that deals with PNP applications.

Thank you very much

It's because Easter is this weekend. It's a government holiday and they won't be working from Friday to Monday. They will start work again on Tuesday.

I see.

No. It's a holiday. No one will be working until Tuesday.

GC has published a complete web-page with tons of details related to COVID-19 impact on immigration but no why draw is not happening, answer me IRCC! it is my DEMAND for INFORMATION.

Note: It nowhere says that the immigration has stopped but no we need answers.

You are just being unnecessarily aggressive here. No one's saying GC should ignore circumstances and continue the same way. All people are saying is it's difficult to keep guessing and anticipating as this is a big dream for many and they have put a lot in it. So it's natural people would want to know if it's happening or not.

If IRCC announces we won't have any draw in April or that the next FSW draw will be in may , I bet none will come and curse them. People might feel disappointed but they will understand. It's just that waiting in the dark gets on to everyone's nerves

No, tomorrow and Monday are national holidays. People are not working. Hence, IRCC Twitter staff will be back online on Tuesday.

We might just be up for a long run then

3 weeks gaps are actually quite common. Happens at least twice a year.

Happened during the elections.

No not being aggressive at all

instead, i chose to reply to abusive words with positive attitude. we cannot just remove Covid-19 from immigration formula currently.

Yeah, I hope it's because people are stressed, and also misinterpreting each other, and not that it's a representation of how everyone actually is.

It would be far better for all of us if we stood together, and supported each other, as we're all working towards the same goal.

 

[Issygn]

That was because election was in between the 14 days and not same as this case. We were suppose to see a draw yesterday which was not any sort of holiday. Moreover, there was always back to back draw before such break or after .

Happened during the elections.

We just have to agree that the pandemic has changed things and adapt to such change .
what a time to be in the pool!!

Im guessing regardless of the total count adding to 3900ITA's for the last 2 draws happened usually if there are 2draws back to back they take 3 weeks gap for the upcoming draw and in this current situation they might have planned to take CEC and PNP draw seperately instead of same day(following previous pattern) so that they can create a picture of draws happening also considering 3 wednesdays in april and the current situation they may not be able to handle 3draws ITA's 3400(avg)x3 draws...Thats why to skip the 1st 2 wednesdays in april they should have made the draw in 2days with 5days gap..Hoping next wednesday there will be draw 99%

I am really disheartened with what has happened. Assuming there is a draw next wednesday, it would be 1.5 months after the last FSW one and the cut offs would have skyrocketed. Then, I would lose 5 points in May.

I guess I could explore PNP, but is there really a chance of getting a PNP without Canadian education, Canadian work ex or a job offer from one of the provinces? Can you guys recommend any province that's relatively easier to target?

I lived in the Yukon for a while. They’re PNP program is pretty easy. They give out I believe 200 a year and they’ve never given out the full 200 so you’d definitely get one if you qualify. I believe you can literally work at Walmart and you can qualify, rules are different up there. Also you only need to work there for 3-6 months (depending on program). I’m not an expert so look into it yourself but it was always my back up plan if I needed it.
