FSW WORLDWIDE

[iSaidGoodDay]

I am at 464.Still a long way away.Judging by the number of STEM candidates in the pool, it would require another 2 STEM draws with good numbers at least to get an ITA.

Hope you get your invite soon. Good idea to start french(if you can).

Tried French but I can’t find the dedication or time to give 2-3 hours every day towards it. I have a SINP Application under process, so counting on that nomination to get me through.

same here with 468 lolll. If they do more regular draw, we may have chance but with this inconsistency, there is no hope

Are you applying under CEC? Do you have a valid job offer (and perhaps claiming points for that)?
If answer to either questions is yes. then NO. Otherwise, do show funds.

In short, your current employment status does not determine, your job offer or program under which you apply do.

Only if they treat STEM and they treated the Francophones

When the round specifies a CRS score of 481 for the lowest candidate, does this imply that all applicants with selected NOC codes above 481 received invitations, or does it denote the lowest score among candidates with the 24 NOC codes? For instance, does it mean that all Software Engineers with NOC codes above 481 obtained invitations?

It means that all candidates with STEM NOCs with CRS score 481 (Tiebreaker rule) and above received or at least will receive an ITA.

finally got invited by the skin of my teeth. CRS 481 STEM. pretty happy about it.
But I'd like to say to everyone who has not gotten the invitation yet to start french. I started 85 days ago and have studied 220 hours so far. I've finished A1 after 180 hours and started A2 around 2 weeks ago.

I believe it's totally doable to get B2+ in french in a year. I also have a friend who did it in a year as well.

Anyways good luck to everyone and a huge congratulation to everyone who got invited

They wont because there is too much STEM applicants event from PNP or genral draw. They need to calculate that and give out the rest ITA to meet the cap. While there is not much French applicant in PNP or genral draw because all of them are in Quebec and IRCC need to meet the cap for French too that why they draw that every single week loll

I know, I am one of the STEM PNP guys hoping for nomination through SINP. I fully expect IRCC to go on a pause again and only start in the second half of the new year by which time the scores will be high again.

I'm also going through MB PNP. Getting through express entry is not reliable unless you have 520+ scores. For most FSWs, this would only be possible through French and/or LMIA.


Also Future of FSW is not bright as ten of thousands of young PGWPs with 2 or more years of Canadian experience are returning home next year, and they would have massive legs up due to Canadian education + inflated Canadian experience (due to pgwp extension). That's unless they change the current CRS system. Although we don't really know how lmias are affecting the distribution and how many of these returnees would be more than willing to go back.

Yes, inflation has spread into CRS scores
