Ray of Hope - 150th Draw - CEC
- Thread starter 13nitinsharma
- Start date
I talked to a Canadian immigration consultant friend today....he said as per his contacts (dont know what contacts !!)....there wont be any FSW draw till september.... they might even stop the CEC after july and continue with the PNPs, FSts....since canadian employers are already employing them.....there are huge backlog of people who already got their COPRs trying to come to canada......economy and job market is in awful state...original canadians are without jobs amid record level of unemployment....he said govt is rethinking about the immigration nos as inviting people from outside will only stress them further even when their own canadians are finding it hard to meet their ends...lots of his PR holders clients have returned back to India in last 1 year.
The US doing a bad job about this whole situation is not going to make Canada want to be a part of it.

I created an account specifically to reply to your message. If you are learning French, that could be enough for you and there is no need for anything else. If you get CLB/NCLC 7 in French, then you can get:
- 15 additional points if you scored CLB 4 or lower in English (or if you didn’t take an English test)
- 30 additional points if you scored CLB 5 or higher on all four English skills

Assuming you have at least Band 5 in IELTS in all four skills and you get CLB 7 in your French exam, that will give you 12 points for the French exam and 30 additional points. That would bring your score from 459 + 12 + 30 = 501 : More than enough points for an ITA!
Your consultant is right.
Even I heard this from a trusted source. But never know what happens.
The immigrants and PR holders do not have to go to Canada if they cannot find a job. Maybe Indian PR holders increase the competition too much because most of them have very similar skills. This does not have to be true for all FSW applicants.
Of course IRCC can decide to do whatever they want. All we want is a clear expectation so we can move on and come up with a new plan if necessary.
Not personal to you but please stop spreading these speculations.

It's fine to speculate since everyone does that here but if you're going to cite a source then name that source or give a title - otherwise it's meaningless and noone's going to take it seriously.
Its a description of past statistics not an indication of future policy
If I am not wrong, articles like these refer to actual immigration as in letting people inside the country and not immigration programs right? Once people are allowed to enter, don't you think thousands of COPR holders who didn't land in the last 2-3 months will start landing in Canada and the immigration numbers referred in this article will go up no?
