Just on the topic concerning Provincial Nomination, these programs were created to boost the economy and population of other provinces that are not as mainstream as Ontario, or British Columbia (due to opportunities).

If you apply to such provinces, there is a moral obligation to stay. Can you move despite this? Of course you can. But if you are not giving the province a chance and just move to Ontario the second you get your PR visa, you're gonna look like opportunistic and you only took advantage of the program. It will adversely affect the chance of other applicants in the future since there's a good chance provinces will tighten their requirements.

It's a give and take deal. If after a certain period, let's say a year or two, and you still could not find the right job / opportunity after so many tries, you can speak with the provincial immigration team and explain your side. At least it's an amicable exit.
Well said

This is one of the shadiest websites I've seen yet though - the guy carries on like Jason Bourne.
Nothing made me laugh as hard as this today. You are right. It is either that, or "their guy knows a guy who knows another guy that can get things done" (like in Breaking Bad).

John C. Mccullum answered most of our concerns. I think it is better if you just watch the video of him speaking.

My apologies. Minister said that He is planing to give extra point to international students, individuals who have siblings here and canadian experience. He said that they will implement the changes right after they are announced especially regarding international students. Changes will come in the fall. They won't get rid of LMIA for certain situations.

It was an open town hall where we got to share our problems and he was to some extend certain thatt the changes will happen soon and in our favour.

Did he say anything about the CRS points for age in Express Entry - whether they are going to make any changes to them to make it easier for mature students to get residency after work permit expiry (i.e. reduce, keep, or widen the gap in points)?
