My CRS score is 477 until November 2022. What are the chances there are no FSW draws in that ballpark before November and I get fooled again by IRCC?

I give up. No more Canada for me, guys, I'm moving on.

We can only hope, but if they cannot get the backlog handled according to their plan and if the COVID situation changes for worse, I believe post June is the only option. There was a comment that if they do not resume FSW draws in 2022 they might never resume it, but I believe 2022 might be out...

Move to Sweden then, applying for citizenship is quite chill in comparison to most European countries. At this rate, you'd probably become a Swedish citizen before they clear the EE backlog.

In all seriousness, what is the likelihood of having FSW calls next year? I am done with this, really, I lost hope.

The UK is a problematic country in many ways, just open the news, but it has a vibrancy and energy that is hard to compare. I wish it was more vibrant like that here in Sweden. But I do agree: Finland, in my humble view, is one of the most miserable places ever - Swedish and Finnish cultures are...

September is about to end and all my hopes are shattered.

Let's face it, folks: no one knows what is happening, so expecting or not expecting FSW draws does not change the fact that Canada's immigration strategy has changed course, even if unofficially and without announcement.

For those considering Europe as a study destination: Netherlands and Sweden are the only places where it is realistic to find an English-speaking job, I'd go for any of these countries if I were you. Germany is OK, but if you do not speak perfect German (and I mean that, this is the...

I am officially putting Canada on the back burner. It is evident that no one knows what the IRCC will do, and we do not know what to expect at all. Perhaps FSW draws are coming later this month, perhaps in October, perhaps it won't happen this year. Either way, life goes on, I'll stop thinking...

I'd second this. Anything other than FSW is probably not a good deal, financially. Culturally, personally, lifestyle-wise, Europe and North America are very different places so then it is a personal decision. But financially Canada is attractive only under FSW when compared to many European...

Usually that's very personal, because people will have different reasons according to their personal circumstances, regardless of where they live. But I don't mind the question, my answer is simple: my partner and I want to explore new environments / horizons / possibilities. Canada is a...

Have you ever lived in Europe? Getting a job after your studies is a long shot, especially if you do not speak the local language. Good luck with that. (Unless you work in IT, of course - but in that case you have options anywhere in the world).

If you're willing to master another language in a record amount of time, put up with prejudice against outsiders (it gets worse depending on where you come from) and racism, which are features of European society, and to get through visa processes (I have no idea how this works, but in Sweden I...

If I ever make it to Canada I pledge to never vote liberal.

What does this Mark guy know? Do we have reasons to believe these consultants have any sort of insider information that they'd feel comfortable sharing in public? I doubt it.

Today is the day, my friends.

That made me start going through their other proposals to see if anything else makes sense and I am surprised. I'd have to compare this to the others but that's definitely different from Sweden's conservatives, and I couldn't find any hint of extreme right-wing nonsense which is commonplace in...

I am losing age points this November which is very frustrating. Maxed out IELTS, 3+ years of work experience, Master's degree + partner with the same credentials. If we don't make it to Canada due to the 5 points we'll lose in November I will remember Mendicino's face for the rest of my life :)

September 1st, guys and gals.
