Hi all,
Based on my conversations with some of you, I guess the quota for 2019 has already been reached - that’s why nobody is moving.
Probably things will move again in 2020. This is just my guess. Good luck everyone - just play the waiting game. They only take in 500-700 applicants in this category and from what I’ve read before, there’s a few thousands (about 2000-3000 if I can remember) who apply yearly. That’s a lot of work for them to do and decide which cases are genuine, etc. When I applied, I also gave myself a 3 year wait, but somehow God helped me to get it within 7 months. I can’t explain why but it also doesn’t really feel good knowing that most people are still waiting in the process. I hope you all will get the good news soon.
Don’t bother going to any consultants, unless you can’t speak English or French. The instructions to apply is clear enough, and the criteria is quite clearly defined. On a side note, some people I have read in the forums seem to refuse to accept that they do not meet the criteria, and get very emotional when they get rejected when they applied anyway. All I can say is, make sure you meet the criteria in proper before you proceed!! Don’t lie to yourself! From what I read, most people fail because they do not plan to be self employed in Canada, or do not have a realistic way of being self employed if they were to move there(having a business plan that will not work in Canada). Your business plan would probably have to be the same as what you are currently doing in your home country in order to get anyone to be convinced that it will work in Canada too. As for the consultants, most applicants do it by themselves and save several thousands of dollars doing the same thing. The consultants can claim whatever success rate they have but they can also keep quiet on their failure rates, while sucking thousands of dollars from you for nothing.
The other good news is - they said that they will raise immigration numbers on a whole so let’s hope they will raise the amount for this SE category as well. All the best people!!
