If you remove housing restrictions, some very powerful people will not be happy.
All I can say is... never say never.

Sometimes back, in 2018 or so, I was having a conversation with folks here or elsewhere online. Everyone was rambling... The interest rates can never go to 5% and we are doing bank interest rate checks before mortgage so we will never see a housing correction of any sort.

I believed if something more important than housing gets compromised, there will be no way but to increase rates.

All it took was one stupid virus coupled with one conflict to make that happen. Its rare but not that rare too. Food prices went up, they had to ensure that money supply is reduced and they did it with quantitative tightening and now interest rate hikes. Whats more is that even a cooling down in Canada will not stop that so long US and UK experience inflation.

What was thought impossible became possible. It just took something more important getting compromised : Food. I have seen 30-50% correction in BC. Do not bother "benchmark" prices... they are trailing indicator and broken too.

There are no holy cows and only one single interest. If some other interest of these very powerful group of people is compromised, they will throw all the housing ownership so fast they you will not be count how many were thrown.
 
Immigration is essential but importing way too many dudes when the job market isn't really doing great
Job market is doing well and actually, many businesses are closing because of lack of workers. Whats broken is that they are not selecting right kind of folks. The country needs more people who can build houses, harvest crops and nurse old people here. I guess NoC based rounds are aimed for that only. Lets see how it plays out.

A populist is neither conservative nor liberal. He is ... deceiver. That being said it seems there are only deceivers in Canadian politics.
Correct. That's why I don't expect him or his buddies to change anything. Even if he is elected, he will be just another JT and will keep HIS donors happy first.

I mean back in 2018 housing was getting out of hand already. Not as bad as now but it wasn't great either. Someone like me or you might have not felt it because our salaries still allowed us to live a good life but many felt it already.

It just got much worse now.
 
I currently have my express entry profile and I only apply for FSW. I'm working on a PGWP. If I get ITA after getting the 1-year of Canadian work experience points, would I need to provide proof of funds?

I agree with the rest but not this line. Market is shit. It's really bad right now. Even for software engineers, market is down pretty badly.

If you apply under CEC, then no.
