Ray of hope - FSW - 1

Seems like you know more than the Indian scientists. I do rely on every source. There is no exception for me if the source is trusted for me. Doesn’t matter whether it’s come from Indian Media or Foreign one.

if its Trump or Modi or one of their supporters, I'm not gonna believe a word that comes out of their mouth!

but on a more serious note, I hope everyone in India right now is safe, as well as your families

All sorts of weirds are happening. Nothing is making sense anymore.

I hear voices inside my head nowadays "why do I exist? why? what's the purpose of this life? where is this life taking me to? " hehe

I try to be pragmatic. MY frustration is on another level. It's like the universe is playing a cruel game with me.
I was/am never able to cope up with the changes and there is always something, out of nothing, apparently. I can see it but can't ever touch it.
I get that everything here is speculation and immigration is not something to be the primary focus of one's life anyways.
It's just too hard to put aside when someone has put 2-3 years into preparation only to find himself into an uncertain limbo.
And judging by the news/speculations over the course of last few weeks, things aren't definitely turning towards good.

Don't know if any of you saw the Canada 2021 budget, but there were a couple of interesting points in there related to Immigration and Express Entry

1. The Government plans to replace the GCMS
2. In future, there may be a specific consideration for gender in Express Entry. The wording (below) is vague in the Budget, but it could mean additional points for women, or even gender-specific draws in the future.

GCMS needs a huge upgrade to function properly. That's good news.

The gender part, wouldn't the constitute as discrimination? Missing out invitation based on your gender is not so different from say religion, ethnicity, etc... The difference is not even that high and in fact women applicants have increased year-to-year, so it is extremely bizarre thing to budget for.

Yes, this is strange. Let's say, Canada needs more men in the future. So, in a draw, a less qualified man would be selected over a more qualified woman? I don't know what to think of this.

That bold part. Instead of "less qualified man" it is "less qualified woman" getting selected ahead of the man. It is definitely wrong to select candidates based on their gender, and although Canada has full autonomy to select whom to invite, discriminating between candidates is unlawful in their own rules. I am not a lawyer but I think it is something that can be challenged in court with high chance of winning it.

I am sure this change will come so that IRCC can brag about it later, that's how the immigration minister operates. They should add other options for gender so that we can claim points under them and get ITA that way

I'm just dumbfounded at how this was approved in the first place.

As a side note, it's not necessarily a bad thing for men... If there are more women than men in the country, that just means men have more options to choose from... I'm single btw .

Do we know when to expect those EE changes? Or at least, an announcement specifying what kind of changes to expect?

So that's another reason why single people might want to move to Canada now? Women?

Important to note, and point out, that the budget simply sets out their intention to address the gender imbalance when it comes to immigration. Smart money says they will position it as targeting more women (perhaps gender specific draws at various points)

A lot of Canada's immigration plan and targets, center around reversing the ageing population - which means having more younger people in the workforce, but also more people having babies. Biology dictates that only a certain demographic can physically do that bit, so that balance is all the more important.

Until they actually announce something concrete concerning this, it is all just speculation at this point.

Agreed, this makes a lot of sense, especially if over the years they ve had more male immigrants than female.

Hi Guys, I need help. If OINP is approved, they also provide us with Work visa Support letter which can be used to obtain work visa for canada. If we get the work visa, and quit our current job in India based on which we got the OINP in the first place and move to canada. will it be a problem in the PR process as they also verify the documents? Because the requirement is 1 year of full time work experience in last 5-10 years. I have 6 years of relevant experience. If someone has any idea please suggest
