Was waiting for the thread. Was not disappointed.

The only disappointing factor is the lack of a general draw.
But during the pandemic, it looks likely to not expect one.
 
There are 4519 profiles with a score higher than 470 as of April 5.


This is against 2367 profile above 470 on March 13th, which shows more profiles are getting added and all our predictions of no new profiles and scores going down were not correct

Only ray of hope I can see is that influx rate is lower.
 
FSW's are truly f****d, people who are going to lose points due to age in the coming months, all of your hardwork has gone to waste, what a shame.

It is a typo.
 
Looking at the current COVID-19 pandemic, CIC has prioritized Inland and PNP applicants currently because processing of Inland applicants is bit smooth and on the other hand, PNP nominated applicants have expiry of their nomination certificates, so CIC cant hold on these type of applications too.

FSW applications will be taken care of after these two categories.

3204 (3900-696) will be targeted in the next FSW draw.

I saw this news and i feel there is a bit of comfort and maybe some negative speculations..

1. could it be that the country needs more money and they have increased the fee to achieve that. Also does this mean that the draws will continue to 2022?
2. Could it be that the whole immigration program is wrapping up and they just intend to max out on their income before it gets to a final halt
