Ray of hope - FSW - 1

[MessiBoi]

Hope so!

I dont know how to interpret "With travel restrictions limiting who can come to Canada, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is pioneering new ways to engage those who are already here and hard at work. "

Hopefully they do sth for inlands too

What is that quote from?? I'm currently in Canada and just had to stop working because they haven't processed my new IEC permit application in time

There's no people left for PNP so that should get really interesting too.

2021 is wasted for FSW, hopes for 2022

Your second job is more than 1 year, so you validate with it the requirement of a continuous year. But even with the first, I think it's fine, maybe two weeks could be a problem.

Thank you! Yes, I know I have 1 year as required, but since I claimed 2 years I’m worried for this part... that 1 freaking day

What??? This is so triggered. Cec draws, thats fine. But all cec candidtes, even below 300?? This has turned to be favorism, they should just get rid of the point grid criteria

It’s not favorism, it’s Canada

Draw for majority of people who have spent money on education in Canada and worked for a year or more. Yup clear favoritism it seems

IRCC already explained that:
1) CEC - “Their status may be temporary, but their contributions are lasting—and we’re hoping to help more of them stay permanently.”
2) IRCC will continue to accept and process Express Entry applications and looks forward to welcoming skilled workers from abroad when travel resumes.

But how? Still 270k to be invited right? So you are saying they will do this kind of draws again

No. They need to land 400 000.
Today they selected 27 300 (approx 82 000 people including dependants. Average application = family of 3).
Also they invited other applicants in January + most people who got invited in 2020 are still waiting. Plus they have paper based applicants + other immigration pathways.
FOR EE they are done most likely with today’s draw and they meet their targets for this year.

I wish that were true but someone explained that above. they need to send out about 40-50k itas to meet their yearly targets. what's some hope is as you said, it took them much time to find 27k cec people so 2022 looks promising but 2021 is still tough luck for us fsws.

The 40K-50K ITA target for 2021 is not true. Please check historical number of ITAs given for 2018, 2019, and even 2020. In 2020, despite the pandemic, they issued 107,350 ITAs. For this year, they have so far issued 38K ITAs while emptying the CEC and PNP from the pool. The only remaining classes are FSW and FST (extremely low). There's still 70K ITAs remaining with no CEC in the pool. Of course, CEC will join as before (although I expect some increase in CEC because many will create profiles despite very low CRS), but will 60K CEC join for the next 9 months?? I extremely doubt.

Man. Do the math. They will reach the target easily with this CEC draw.

How?

You already get points for that. You get points for both education and job experience.

Anyways, IRCC is doing this to manage the pandemic as they know FSW cannot come due to travel restriction. It has nothing to do with favoritism.

How?

They have a huge backlog from 2020. Those inlands from 2020 gonna be landed in 2021 + all inlands from today’s draw = target is met.

I am sure they will have more draws during this year. Taking every CEC and PNP regardless of the CRS score.
But it is unclear about the draws for FSW. They still have lots of people Outland who have expired coprs or waiting for a decision-both of those groups can’t travel to Canada and it is impossible to predict when they will be allowed to travel. It can be few months or few years. No one knows.

How?

i am not expert on this but guess people are assuming a certain percentage of the CEC will invite their close families as well - there is a lot of unknown on that number for sure.
