ok guys check this out!! The federal budget last year took place on the very same date March 22 but it was a different day it was Tuesday as opposed to Wednesday this year. 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!!

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..

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.

Agreed, but these eventual changes will most likely not affect the upcoming draws. Stay hopeful! I still see great things ahead for those 425ish and above!

Thanks for that observation anirr! Can't wait for tomorrow's draw!

A bit of an off-topic question, hope someone could answer: My partner is the principal PR applicant with me as his common-law partner. As soon as we get an AOR, am I able to apply for an open work permit even though I am only secondary in the application?

I'm reading the budget 2017 too. And having been watching CBC all day today. The second budget mostly talks about innovation, clean energy, research and parental leave stuff. That's most like government contracts, infrastructure, housing, research and IT. Projects like PPP etc. So this way, it will generate revenue to the government while keep the taxation from big companies. And to do so, they need people with various certificate and license, or master and PhD. Plus "mostly likely to succeed in Canada", that'll fall under the category of people who have education, social network in Canada, coz you need to know people to make things happen. So I think the fundamental three streams (FSW, CEC and FST) won't be affected much.

Just some thoughts. Best wish to everybody.
Sitting still and wait. Don't forget to enjoy the life tho. Cheers!

You're right, work-life balance is important. That's one reason why I can never imagine myself living in Asia... the stress of that fast-pace-no-lifestyle will drive me insane!

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 :p
haha canada is much cooler than australia... anyway you will be in the next draw!

we've been separated for 7 months and it's a painful wait.. hopefully it all works out well ultimately!

good luck!!
