To be fair, they were prepared for this as they increased the amount of years you could claim points for work experience from 5 years back to 10 years - This was back during Covid. I remember back in 2018, the point for 2 years of Canadian work experience is the same than that of 1, I forgot when they exactly changed the scoring.
Also, the changes from NOC to TEER brought up quite a lot of NOCs that were originally ineligible for EE, such as truck driver. Manitoba has loads of them, MPNP points were quite low for few draws after the EE transport draw. I heard from a local consultancy that its mostly lamdas who graduated (or not) from Ontario. The trick is to utilize time when studying to get yourself a truck license.

Australia, as usual, is making pretty sensible changes. Trudeau and Miller are not capable of thinking of half of such changes.

One question to you and others though. We tie immigration as the biggest factor in housing, jobs, etc related issues. Now that cap is on the table, we have seen almost 50% reduction in interest in Canada's education from key geographies in July-Oct 2023. What would most be left with to blame once they got rid of everything?
I'd not be surprised to see nothing improve/degrade in Canada. Those poor TFWs are simply just an excuse for no innovation and lazy workforce in Canada. We are not too far from the time when they'll be gone, I'd not be surprised to see the blame shift somewhere else.
For example, people talk about healthcare being messed up due to TFWs. But, Canadian govt decided to reduce number of graduating doctors and then the limited batch of doctors demanded "We are taxpayers, we get residencies first". Now, this was a good take if no one was dying as a result of this monopolistic and narcissistic approach, but they'd rather make immigrant doctors/non-citizen-licensed doctors drive Uber, but won't let them work and save lives. There are literally thousands of people who die due to missed diagnosis, but most would rather blame TFWs working at Timmies, rather than these people who are actually preferring selfish residencies over someone's lives.
You see, sensible changes lie elsewhere. We are just busy beating the weak ones and making ourselves look better. TFW related news is just massive noise that hides the biggest holes in the system (greedy Canadian RE owners, residency monopoly, $3 carrots priced in Ontario available in the US for $0.99 when they are originally from Ontario,etc).
It has been a while since I left the forum. But my FSW application is still pending, after 37 months waiting. It is so frustrating. I am wondering if there is anyone who applied in 2020 through express entry stream and not been approved yet?
Canada doesn’t need foreign doctors. There’s enough supply of local medical grads but the issues is the number of residencies. It’s capped by the doctor association, whatever it’s called to have salary competitive to the US
The fear is that oversupply of docs = lower wages and less benefits which is true. Same reason why it’s hard for foreign doctors
Yep I do see it like that. In NB in early 2010's it was absolutely no fun for everybody.
I order to have better wages, let's have less doctors because we are concernes about their wages, In the meantime, people must wait hours, days for an appointement. some probably suffering but hey, doctors must have better wages and your suffering is the least of our concerns. Unless you are rich of course then you can get your self to the private sector and get your self checked.
Regular Canadian people never protest about important things like these, they always protest about irrelevant things. IMO, they should have protested when IRCC announced they are increasing PR quota in this insane housing crisis.
Oh no, actually they are upset. especially those who are impacted. but some media cannot catch their voices for some reasons. They can hear loud and clear anti immigration stances but this... meh not that important.
No argument from me on the issues, I totally agree. However, no country can fix such problems while increasing the population by 3% every year. Only African countries are growing at the same rate as Canada, it's insane. Assimilation takes time. Dropping millions of people suddenly is a really bad idea, especially for the government that cannot address the issues you rightly raised.
It's kind of a desperation plea before being homeless, or leaving the country.
Canadians generally very socialistic (moreso than US) and similar to West European countries. Problem is the younger generation expects to have the Standard of Living that their parents/grandparents did and are angry that they can't. They want the government to pay for everything to makeup for this reduction in SOL but don't understand that Canada's economy isn't nearly as competitive as it was back then + more old people. Instead of lowering taxes, breaking up unions and encouraging business investment, they are doing the opposite. Immigrants are also an easy target.
It is clear now that the government is stuffing the country full of immigrants at the cost of their own people, I hope Canadian people realize this.
