Are you FSW outland? I felt like I can understand his whining and complaint somehow because I am an international student here who experiences this huge system change since Nov, 19th, 2016. Before the new policy comes to stage, it is literally impossible to get invited with a minimum CRS of around 450 as international graduates. A lot of my friends had a very difficult time to apply since their PGWP is about to expire. We are just lucky enough that from the beginning of this year they finally realize how unrealistic and absurd their previous CRS was and thus, lowered the bar. Anyway I agree with what you said about US and Australia, the whole world is tightening up immigration policy except Canada, at least for now.
Yes my friend I'm a FSW outland.
I also agree with you about the previous status of the Express Entry, we are on the same boat, but my friend like you said it's the past.
I also faced the same problem my CRS score is below 450 so for me it was a dream for me to get an ITA, but thanks to the November's amendments and changes the previous situation isn't applicable any more.
And the changes was a clear evidence that CIC is a flexible agency with good people and good attitude.
You can also add the transparency that is a distinctive feature of this agency.
And for a guy like me who lives in Middle East you can't imagine when i say that the transparency is one of God's grace to people, and we lack of it here.
And like you said all the world is turning tightening the immigration policies except Canada.
So God bless Canada
