India. I am claiming bonus points for a diploma that I did in Canada (before EE), but it's only 15 points. Most of my bonus points come from a decent score in IELTS and TCF Canada. Also, I did a Masters in Europe for one year which is equal to a Canadian masters (ECA). I never liked studying so much but fate is funny. I was set on immigrating to Canada and hence had to do a Masters and learn French from scratch. Just hoping and praying now that all my efforts won't be wasted!

Hey guys any cloud security or secops people here? One of my friends is about to get laid off and wants to know how he can delete a bunch of code he wrote from the company gitlab repository.
I called. I didn’t select the normal route they give you to change address. I think I went with option 3 that has to do with something else and requested a agent. That way the line was quick and they transferred me when they answered.
I think there were like 25k FSW last month. It seems to be going down quite a bit. Remember, there was 55k just FSW beginning of the year, plus like 20k CEC. I think they already processed they allocated 55k this year for EE or more. Anything more now is extra.
It’s in Portuguese but here are the FSW amounts every update and the rate.

Sudbury woman says Jamaican husband may miss child's birth after Canadian residency request rejected
Canadian immigration officer deemed marriage of Ariella Ladouceur, Cordell James not 'genuine,' official says
A Sudbury, Ont., woman says her Jamaican husband has been turned down for Canadian residency and they're appealing immigration officials' decision, but in the meantime, he could miss their child's birth in October.
Ariella Ladouceur said she and Cordell James got married in October 2020, and recent efforts to have him come to Canada have not been successful. The couple met in 2018 while working for the same airline.
"There is a visitor's visa that they can do, but once they've been denied for a spousal application, there's a huge likelihood they will be denied for the tourist visa because they won't believe that he's going to leave the country once the visa expires," Ladouceur said.
In June, Ladouceur and her husband met with a Canadian immigration officer in Kingston, Jamaica, and it did not go well, she said.
She said the immigration officer told her they often see cases where Jamaican men who already have children will divorce their Canadian wives after they emigrate, and then bring over their partners from Jamaica.
Official cites immigration officers' 'due diligence'
Ladouceur said her husband has three children from a previous relationship, but he and the woman were never married.
"I know his relationship with his ex. There's no chance of any reconciliation between them," Ladouceur said. "I know why they broke up."
Ladouceur said she felt as though the immigration officer had made up his mind about her husband — that he would divorce her and get back with his ex-partner— before the interview even started.
"Any answer that I gave, he tried to twist it around to fit his narrative," she said.
"I just knew it was probably just a formality to have us come in there for the interview. But he had already made up his mind."
In an email to CBC News, Isabelle Dubois, a spokesperson for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), confirmed an immigration officer denied James's application for permanent residency in Canada.
"On June 16, 2022, Mr. James's application for permanent residence was denied, as the immigration officer was not satisfied that the relationship between Mr. James and Ms. Ladouceur is genuine, nor that it has not been entered into primarily for the purpose of acquiring status or privilege under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act," the email said.
Dubois said a marriage for immigration purposes is among the most common reasons overseas spousal sponsorship applications are denied.
Other reasons include the applicant not having the required documents, and not answering the immigration officer's questions truthfully.
In 2021, IRCC approved 67,496 applications for permanent residency under the "spouses and partners" category, and refused 3,393 applications. The refusal rate was 4.7 per cent.
Dubois added that Immigration Canada did not have any notes on file about Ladouceur's pregnancy.
But Ladouceur told CBC News she showed the immigration officer letters from her family physician and obstetrician, along with some ultrasound photos, proving her pregnancy.
"Honestly, it's taken the joy out of my pregnancy," Ladouceur said.
"I can't get excited about setting up the nursery, or getting the crib or any of that stuff because there's a person that's missing it."
Appeal process takes time
Ladouceur said she and her husband have appealed the decision denying her husband permanent residency, but the process can take up to two years.
She said they are waiting on a file from the Jamaican government, but have a Nov. 2 deadline to send it to Canadian officials.
"We won't get a date for me to go talk to anyone until that file has been received," Ladouceur said.
For its part, IRCC said it is "committed to a fair and non-discriminatory immigration system" and has zero tolerance for racism or discrimination of any kind.
In the area of immigrant and refugee selection, the IRCC said, it has analyzed approval rates based on country of origin and built a data collection plan to identify any "inequities and biases in our policies and programs."

I never expected to see someone praise Edge while I wander on the forum
I recently got a TD credit card .. TD is considered one of the better banks in Canada. And I just found out that they do not allow to setup a Pre Authorized Bill payment to the credit card account. I need to fill a PDF and send it by mail or FAX it!! They also do not send text / email alerts for transactions. Pathetic!My faith and hope in Canada's technology advancement waned yesterday, when I received a letter in the post, to confirm that I have now opened an online provincial utilities account.
A paper letter to confirm an online transaction guys. And it took 5 days to get to me too
| June 6 | July 17 | |
| Canadian Experience Class | 6,088 | 5,195 |
| Federal Skilled Workers | 25,081 | 18,127 |
For provincial nominees is hard to tell how many were in Express Entry and how many non-EE on June 6th, but the total was of them both was 68,221.

FSW has see the best improvement across the board.
Besides PNP and FSW, any other stream or pathway for PR are practically almost worthless in my opinion. It will take literally years for them to get a decision. Liberals have made an absolute mess out of this. I don't foresee how they can possibly fix this, no matter the number of personel they hire, its unfixable.
For God's sake, you have 900k for Temporary Resident Visas alone, which by any means are the easiest to deal with and they are sleeping on them or it could be that its their strategy to let them be instead of refusing a majority of them. Reason is, from now on for every decision they make they have to be absolutely correct in their assessment or any of those applicants can send them to court for racism, discrimination, unfair decision and so on. Yeah, this is what happens when your are too liberal, your castle gets occupied from the inside.
So, considering the pace at which they are clearing the backlog, if they keep issuing only 1500 ITA’s, it will eventually get very difficult to get ITA (at 490) before January 2023/ Implementation of category specific draws. Just wish god shows some mercy.
18k people FSW are nothing to IRCC. Its like 1 month draw they did for CEC last year. They probably represent 10k ITA.
I am hoping they increase the draw size today.

I'm not sure why IRCC needs to know this. You will have to quit to move to Canada in most cases as an outland applicant.
Post-AOR, the only reason I would inform them of job status change is jic they need to make sure that my PoF are in order. Other than that, change of address and marital status and family composition are the important changes to inform them, as they affect the number of visas issued. So I think you can quit especially if you have the PPR, but my advice, hang on, because even the little bit of money you have coming your way will help a great deal starting your life there. I don't think that you need more than 2-3 weeks of break to say bye to loved ones....
