I will advise that we international students who are either working or on a PGWP should write to CIC and have them clarify the job offer criteria so as to have a clearer understanding. Who knows it might steer them in the right direction as to what to do with us.
I will be very straight forward with everyone. I think this Express Entry is not favorable at all.
This is because, this January, they will draw the candidates with high scores .i.e. PNP and Arranged job offer and by the time you think you will make the draw the next month, another set of candidates with new received PNP and Arranged job offer would have applied or updated their profile and hence again the highest is drawn and the cycle continues like that leaving candidates without PNP and Arranged job offer still hanging. The funniest thing is that some candidates might remain on that pool forever.
Let's be realistic, do you really think Canadian employers will employ a lot of candidates from the pool and go through the stress of proving they can't get a Canadian to do the job and also the LMIA process? Yes, it might be possible but it won't be as rosy as we think. There are so many qualified educated immigrants who already have their PR who have been job hunting that they can take instead. Canadian employers can always get employment agencies to scout for local talents for them rather than going through the immigration job search when they can't guaranty if you can even do the job, is a mere profile enough to convince them to offer you a job? The chance is very slim, what are the odds?
I feel the people that applied for FSW 2014 and co did a very wise thing. This Express Entry is a big gamble, and I think the old system is far better.
