Ray of hope - FSW - 1

[Carmen01]

Application for the new pathways will commence today. That's 90k sorted , good luck to those who will apply and all the best.

 

[YaC]

I got some data points below:
As of April 2021, the number of candidates in the pools over 460 has been doubled from about 3000 to near 8000, comparing to the peak of 2020 November invitation when the invitation score was 478; the number was also doubled for those over 500 from about 800 to current 1500.

Do we have some good analysis or predictions of how much the Invitation Score would be when the FSW draw begins?

Regards,

I can tell you an example of a person who studied French to an extent enough to get an ITA in less than a year.

He is married and was 33 years old, has two kids. He was in the 458 range last year and spend nearly 30000 INR to study French in an institute. After a year's hard work (studied around 6 hours per day, changed the language of his phone to French, watched French TV channels with English subtitles, and dedicated his complete weekend towards studying the language), he appeared for TEF in Chennai, India.

He got a jump of nearly 10 points in his CRS after TEF and the score moved to 468 last October.
He then got NOI from Ontario (IT Tech Draw) on October 15 -> submitted his profile (with spouse and two kids) -> Nomination obtained on Dec 2020 -> Got ITA on Dec -> submitted docs -> Sydney Nova Scotia is the VO -> Everything is now passed and he is awaiting PPR (which will be rolled out once situation stabilizes a bit).

Anything and everything is possible, all that needs is sheer determination and absolute hard work.

Hi,

I totally believe you.

Right now, I am on the same boat as the guy you mentioned above. My CRS is 463:
- 30 years old;
- Common-Law (not coming with me to Canada at the same time);
- Two recognized bachelors (Business Administration & Law);
- IELTS L-8,R-9,S-8,W-7 (first time given and nailed it);
- 3+ years of foreign experience.

Started learning French intensively since November 1, 2020, at least 6 hours a day, everyday, by myself. No teacher! Only YouTube and books available online. At the beginning I couldn't understand anything, except "Oui" and "Je t'aime", and now I am able to read and comprehend journalistic articles, understand the majority of conversations in movies and news, and also able to have a constructive conversation with someone.

I will take the TEF Canada next month and will be taking it almost every month until I get CLB 7, because that is the only option left for me.

The CLB 7 will open the door of Ontario to me at a CRS score of 525, valid for French-Speaking stream and FSW.

I am leaving this post here to motivate everyone to do their absolute maximum for their Canadian dream.

Good luck guys, and don't give up!

It’s unlikely that you can get French Ontario stream, it requires French language to be the first thus one needs clb 9 in French to get it

Folks ! if there is any ALL PROGRAM DRAWS on Q4 2021 , any "wild guesses" about the number of invitations IRCC will give out?
Q4 previous year it started with 4200 - 5000
Since they have 401k target for this year

Hi,

Where did you get the information about needing to have CLB 9 in French and that it needs to be first language?

Here is the link to the requirements from the Ontario province French-Speaking stream:

https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontarios-express-entry-french-speaking-skilled-worker-stream

3. Language

You must be able to understand, read, write and speak French at a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level 7 or higher.


You must also be able to understand, read, write and speak English at CLB level 6 or higher.


To prove that you have the mandatory language skills, you must take an approved French and English language test before you submit your application to this stream.

 

[dankboi]

My guess is 6000 invitations and the scores would be in the high 480's.

Please share your speculation mate. how many draws would be there if there is any and how low this CRS could come down, The previous year it started off at 475 which ended at 468. : /

Thinking about it, if they are selecting only candidates who have French as their first language with at least CLB 7, then this puts things into another prespective.

The number of people in the pool with the score over 500, 480~490, and 470~480 all doubled from the peak with the invitation score of 478. I do not know how high it would go and when it would go down.

Thank you.

Hi,

Where did you get the information about needing to have CLB 9 in French and that it needs to be first language?

Here is the link to the requirements from the Ontario province French-Speaking stream:

3. Language

You must be able to understand, read, write and speak French at a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level 7 or higher.


You must also be able to understand, read, write and speak English at CLB level 6 or higher.


To prove that you have the mandatory language skills, you must take an approved French and English language test before you submit your application to this stream.

There is something I don't understand about that "French Ontario stream“...

I fulfill all the requirements... And therefore have over 520 points in the crs score. It costs more and last longer... Why should anyone choose that stream instead of fsw?

i know it from people that got Ontario’s nomination, most of them were sitting in the pool for months but they’ve got invitation right after they’ve changed their first language to French.

 

[dankboi]

You could see a similar pattern from 2020. But, the scores will be really high this time for the first few draws and then you may see it settle down to 460's to 470's.

My prediction is based on the data from last draw:

491-500	942
481-490	2,721
471-480	7,525

Good work bruh ! thanks for the insight : D
