Huge congrats to those who have received an ITA today through the EE process but please can those who have not received it please accept facts. Stop f**king complaining! 
For the foreseeable future, you need an LMIA to get PR so focus on trying to achieve that and nothing else.
I have lived in Canada on a temporary work permit for 2.5 years, have a well-paid job, have paid a substantial amount into the Canadian tax system, now have 2 Canadian children on Canadian passports and yet because I don't have an LMIA, am being 'queue-jumped' by people who have never been to Canada. And all because of a PR application system that has completely changed the rules since 2014. My work permit runs out in 3 months and if I can't magic a miracle, I will lose my job with no redundancy package despite 10 years service and will have to move my family out of Canada.
I'm not posting this to attract sympathy. It just gets a little tiring reading people complaining because CIC didn't do a draw by a certain time and when they did, you weren't successful.
