Reading last few pages of this thread is kind of painful. Not getting in to whole FSW vs CEC debate as both sides have their emotions and arguments. What is hurtful is blatant prejudice and generalizations. I hope everyone gets their opportunity to get Canadian PR but folks one of the appealing feature of living in Canada is the open and accepting culture. Don't let your short term disappointments make you see other human beings as lesser beings than you. I understand these are volatile and uncertain times but blaming each other constantly will impact your subconscious mind for a long time. This us vs them thinking causes harm in more ways than one.
Hear Hear.

Lol I should consider myself lucky that french is so political and they overvalue it so much. It's a joke how much importance they give french, when the vast majority of the population doesn't speak it and the language only exists in canada because they are trying so hard to keep it there.
Hey man, cultural & linguistic diversity is actually a really good thing! I don't think this is some dumb political situation. The existence of Quebec makes it structurally harder for conservative parties to win here.

But yeah you'll get an ITA one day with your French, for sure.

I'm not denying the value of cultural diversity. But French remains useful in Quebec mainly because of the provincial government enforcing its use. Like the recent bill that seeks to enforce french as the sole language of communication between the government and businesses. Or the arbitrary rule that high ranking officials in parliament need to know french, even though only 20% of the population speaks it. And that number is only 20% because of Quebec. In provinces other than Quebec (80% francophone) and New Brunswick (30%), the percentage of francophones is less than 5%.

The funny part about it though is that Quebec is so militant about keeping french alive in the province, and yet Quebec french is laughed at in other french speaking countries.

Hi all,

I have a question. I am a FSW outland applicant residing in India. I received the ITA in September 2020 and submitted my application in the following month. I did the medical exam upfront in June last year. Since it would be expiring next month, can I proactively do the medical exam or do I have to wait for IRCC to notify me? Also, what is the procedure if I were to do the medical exam proactively? Thanks in advance.
Really ? You wanted to ask in this thread ? Hehe : ))

Just to hear different voices while we wait for FSW

https://financialpost.com/diane-francis/diane-francis-trudeaus-immigration-scheme-is-just-another-way-to-redistribute-canadas-wealth

"Plopping lots of people into an economy may increase GDP, but not if they're grandparents, unskilled, can't find work or are underemployed"

"The fact that the GDP per capita is lower than Canada’s peers demonstrates that this is not about wealth creation. It does nothing to address Canada’s soaring debt ratio or to create jobs for Canadians. This immigration reach is about vote-getting in immigrant enclaves, and simply another accelerated policy to redistribute Canada’s wealth."
This is indeed what it is all about.

But it may pay off in the long run.

UK had massive immigration during the Blair era ..and twenty years later...it still remains a competitive world economy.
So much so that the richest in UK are mostly immigrants..who helped create jobs for all ..natives and immigrants alike


Initially there will be struggle and clashes but 20 years later .it may pay off.

However, I can't comprehend how new immigrants turn anti immigrants..

Nope , the struggle is now and it won't last 5+ years, When it comes to implementations & processing, the UK ain't slugs. hehe Brexit slashed that period of time. And they have escaped. And a PR status in the UK is not a privilege folks, If you are able to find a work then you deserve the PR. Welcome to the United Kingdom.

As an EU citizen, until Jan 2021 I could just pop there, get a NIN and start working. In the past that made me pick the UK as my first choice but after seeing the Brexit referendum results I ditched the idea and came to Canada instead.

Look no further than Australia. Most rich living in Sydney and Melbourne are Asians and Indian origin.
But majority immigrants become anti immigrant once they get their PR. Then they start complaining about how immigrants are lowering the wages and making market too saturated.

Yes exactly before BREXIT anybody from EU was able to do anything, The number of folks without NIN were more, cause of the UK in the union. Now the UK immigration has become fair. Pre-Brexit times were the worst especially for the NON-EU people because of the least priority even when they were able to speak in British accent and had years of experience.
When I first came to London, The minimum wage in the UK is £8.20 . I started working for £ 4 because I was not from the EU, whereas the EU person who doesn't know to speak a bit of English with no high school was making £ 8-9 at my workplace. Why? cause he / she is from EU. Whereas I was able to speak in US / UK accent , I had masters and was doing another from Uni in London. I worked in the UK for years and I have had worked with EU folks who doesn't know English other than "good morning/afternoon/ good evening/ night) I was using Google Translate to conversate with them. London was the sex / human trafficking hub of the whole EU during the pre Brexit times. London was completely filled with EU/ Eastern European 18+ / underaged girls for prostitution. Now since the Brexit there were reports of zero border cross of such folks. There was a time I wished if I was from EU so I could make tons of money like those EU folks with zero English skills and no education. for the British and the NON-EU this Brexit is a blessing and now things are fair. It was so easy for a EU citizen to come to the UK to gamble , pimp his gf or wife, sell flesh, traffick girls and make tens of thousands of pounds a month.
Educated EU folks were good, what made me feel bad about the whole Britain being in EU is the system being exploited by the worst people from the EU. This Canadian PR is just a permit for me to work there for 5 years and within 5 years I'm returning to UK obviously for the PR and citizenship.

Canada may raise caps on temporary immigration programs, Minister Mendicino says
The Canadian government hinted this week that it may raise the current limits for permanent residents admitted under its new temporary program.



About one week after launching an ambitious immigration program that aims to admit up to 90,000 permanent residents to Canada, the immigration minister is hinting at the possibility of raising that cap.

“I’m open to discussion on whether or not to review the current caps,” Canada’s Immigration Minister, Marco Mendicino, was quoted saying in the Globe and Mail.

The minister remained cautious in his remarks, however, saying his department must first carefully assess the early results of the program, including the quality of applications that have been received, and how quickly the target of 90,000 admissions will be reached.

“At that point, I will certainly have a much greater line of sight on whether or not there may be a need to revisit the caps,” he said.


The new temporary program, which opened on May 6, has so far received an encouraging response from prospective permanent residents.

One of the six streams available under the program, the one for international graduates, reached its cap of 40,000 applicants in just over 24 hours. To date, two other streams targeting essential workers and health care workers have received nearly 10,000 applications out of a total cap of 50,000 applications. There have been far fewer applications submitted under three streams reserved for French-speaking or bilingual candidates, largely because these streams do not have a cap and are open until November 2021.


The launch of this new permanent residency pathway is part of a multi-layered approach by the Canadian government to achieve the highest levels of immigration in its history in order to help support the country’s post-coronavirus economic recovery.



The pandemic, which has exacerbated capacity and processing times for permanent residence applications, has forced the Canadian government to adopt new strategies to address these issues.

In addition to creating new pathways to permanent residency and issuing record numbers of invitations to immigration candidates via the Express Entry system in recent months, Canada is also now moving to fully modernize its immigration processing system.

The recently tabled federal budget provides nearly $430 million to create a new digital platform that will replace the Global Case Management System (GCMS) used to process citizenship and immigration applications, with the goal of enabling more efficient and timely processing.

Canada aims to welcome at least 401,000 immigrants per year, and the latest statistics suggest that it may be on course to meet its targets.

Is this meaning a farwell to FSW and any other outland stream in the short term at least ? ( 1-2 years ) , and what are they planning to do with the ten thousands approved FSWs outland currently waiting for a COPR issuance since a year now ?
