Ray of hope - FSW - 1

[joconstantine]

Just hang in there, brothers and sisters. If IRCC wanted to stop the FSW stream permanently, they would not have resumed the general draws during the last few months of the year. They even conducted one back-to-back draw in December.

Guys, how fast IRCC processing PNP categories? Are they also delaying their process like FSW?

I think yes, they will now delaying process for 2021 (FSW, PNP as well as CEC) applicants as there is huge backlog of 2020.

Welcome to the club brother, i did the same this month!

Thank you.

I've been planning to start on this express entry thing since late 2019.
I couldn't appear for IELTS in early 2020 because of pandemic and then I figured out just with bachelors degree I stand no chance to getting ITA.
Took me a year to do a diploma and after eca and ielts, I'm finally here - 15 months later.

What is the typical story of people around here?

The typical story is that we are all here desperately waiting for an ITA since the beginning of this year

Could you please point me towards relevant threads that I should follow as an FSW candidate (if any)?

This is the only thread for FSW related discussion. I would suggest you to increase your score if you can as we don't know when FSW draws will be resumed and there are already more than 10k people in 471+ score range.

I can apply for an EOR on writing in hopes of increasing that to 7.5. But other than that I don't think there is anything else that I can do.
I'm doing MBA with distance education which will culminate at the end of NEXT year (when I turn 30). I've also been VERY reluctantly learning French from Duolingo for the past 10-12 months or so but I'm not any good at it yet. I don't know if I'm missing something that I need to do.

EDIT: If you don't mind me asking.. With What score are you in EE pool right now? How long have you been waiting?

Apply for EOR and try to get those remaining 3 points. Few people have not received ITA because of 1 or even 0 points due to tie breaker rule so every point counts.

I entered the pool with 469 in Jan 2020, did not receive ITA, received invite from OINP in July, nomination in Nov and currently waiting since 4 months post AOR.

Hey man, I didn't see any updates apart from biometrics with I was finally able to give on 1st March, ordered GCMS notes, hoping to receive them by 1st week of May. What about you?

Hey since you mentioned french, let me add some stuff for you. Duolingo alone will not help you. I used it as a supplement, but mostly found it to be too repetitive, and it became more of a chore than actually making the language somewhat fun. What I'm saying is that half assing with duolingo will not help you and will only make you dislike language learning more.

I do think the score will _eventually_ drop to 470, but it's going to be a long wait. It took 3.5 months last year after the CEC gap for the score to get that low.

I would say its too early for GCMS notes, you wont find much useful info at this stage. Give it couple of months.
