Ray of Hope - 74th Draw

[sundar17feb99]

CANADA TO ANNOUNCE IMMIGRATION TARGET FOR 2018 BY 1ST NOVEMBER 2017 AND SOME GUESSING MAY BE AROUND 450,000 AS THIS YEAR TARGET WAS 300,000

450,000 immigrants a year? Canada could do it, report suggests

How many newcomers should Canada let in next year? We’re about to find out. Ottawa is set to announce the country’s 2018 immigration target by Nov. 1.

The federal government has already upped Canada’s immigrant intake to 300,000 annually, but could it – and should it – go even further?

That’s the question at the heart of a new report by the Conference Board of Canada, which forecasts the potential impacts of different immigration levels on the overall economy, income levels and public spending.

The findings might be disappointing for both supporters and critics of immigration. The pitch for higher immigration levels is simple: More people means more workers to fill up vacancies, entrepreneurs to create new jobs, and customers to buy things like cars and homes. Plus, immigrants are on average younger than native-born Canadians, so newcomers are – quite literally – an injection of fresh blood that helps pay for the ballooning expense of supporting our aging population.

Correct.

 

[fatani]

Correct. Except one thing, it will be much more than 25k increase, I would say 125k

I dont think they will increase it by that because of social pressures and their own capacity to process as the report which suggested to increase it to 450K said that it should be done gradually.

I think next yrs quota will be around 320K more importantly we have to see how much economic immigrants quota get increased because last time they increased economic immigrants quota but the overall quota remained the same

As the minister said, 300K is the new baseline, this is certainly a possibility.

We will see for sure, hopefully we will have 185k+ in Economic Class

74th draw is coming, hopefully with some changes lie crs decreasing or more ITAs
Keep up your hope alive coz our time is approaching, eagerly waiting the announcement of new quota for 2018.
Hope for the best!

Good luck once again to those who got an ITA!

I am going to write to cic about 2018 quota. I believe they have a redressal system and answer queries if you post letters to them.

 

[qgon123]

Thanks, that's a good news - Let's wait for this HUGE number!

Do anybody think they are following 2017 quota? I don't think so.

Do anybody think they are following 2017 quota? I don't think so.

@BillHyatt , is there a public report that shows how many new permanent residents have landed in 2017?

Hey Guys, my score is 441 pts but I haven't received any ITA/communication yet. Is there a lag between when they release the drawn to when we receive the confirmation? Thanks!

 

[fahadsheikh]

EVERYONE IN THIS GROUP SHOULD FOCUS OF FINDING ANY NEWS OF 2018 QUOTA ANNOUNCEMENT. THE SCORE AND ITA NUMBER IS SIMPLY BAFFLING TO ME. THEY ARE WAY SHORT OF THEIR 2017 PR TARGET AND ARE ALSO REFUSING HUGE NUMBERS OF PR PROFILES DUE TO SMALL MISTAKES. UNBELIEVABLE.

In the game of Immigration, there is mistake or perfection. There is no middle ground.
