But the next draw was on March 23, 2016 which was a wednesday- that means the next day. I posting this link here, check the date on this govt document. Hopefully something good is waiting for us soon to be released!!

Andrew2016 said:well I was reading the budget, this is the only time Express Entry was mentioned, it just states "Budget 2017 also proposes to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection
Act to ensure that the Express Entry system—the system that manages Canada’s economic permanent residence programs—is responsive to the needs of the
Canadian labour market, and that the candidates most likely to succeed in Canada are selected." I have no idea what amendments they are referring to, but none the less they will give us a warning well in advance.
MattyTj said:Agreed, but these eventual changes will most likely not affect the upcoming draws. Stay hopeful!
anirr said:check the date on this article, it was on this "date" previous year that the federal budget was announced!! and a draw followed the next day- draw #30 with 470 cut off score and 1014 invitations was released. I hope the same happens this time as well and there is a draw the following day which is tomorrow in this case Thursday March 23, 2017..

SO and I met in Canada and in our case, it makes more sense for me to make the move. Although I secretly think Australia is a far better place![]()
