I'm very confused by what's their plan right now: the cutoff score for 'No Program Specified' is basically going up, so it seems unless you are a part of the target draws, have a job offer (which needs LMIA), speak both French and English (which the french program should take care of), or PNP, it's pretty much impossible for you to get an ITA now from outland. I don't think even a PhD degree, which already has an ageing impact, will give you an ITA at the current score unless they do similar large draws like in March to bring down the score.

I might be a bit biased since I'm sitting at 481, but I thought it would make the most sense for them to at least maintain the 'No Program Specified' around 480 so that people who have a master's degree will have a chance from all occupations. It's not like Canada even provides some of the non-target occupations education well itself in the first place, e.g., Canada is not known for its Aerospace education. I understand the job market is small for these categories, but it's not like there are a lot of people planning to move to Canada under these categories either. It seems the target draw will only make some of the small and less 'popular' occupations have problems finding replacements down the road. That's never good...

They have no plan. They do immigration based on people's sentiments. Right now the public is anti immigration and hence they are taking French more to appease people. Election due in 2025. Politicians do not care about anyone.

I very much don't understand how bringing in french speaking people from both political standpoints or practical standpoints. I have visited french speaking areas outside Québec, and most of them are very small. The only large french speaking place I can think of is Ottawa, which doesn't make much sense because if they want to do some favour on their elections, they should target GTA not Ottawa. I can only think of governmental jobs that would need both languages, and I would assume they don't need that many French people either since the government is not the major employer in Canada. Québec has its own immigration, so targeting from express entry would not do anything there.

Good news for STEM applicants if you go by this article -

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-ircc-immigration-stem-express-entry/

It says that the numbers shared by IRCC will target anywhere between 28-31% of the total ITAs for the year towards STEM. Going by this number, you are looking at good 15k ITAs at least for STEM.

IRCC will have to start conducting big STEM draws or will have to conduct regular STEM draws to meet this target.

But then again, it’s IRCC and we have seen their plan change overnight. The question will be if Marc Miller goes along with this plan as well.

Marc Miller is raised in Quebec. He will support French. My request to all, please start learning French.

Not one to take redditors too seriously but damn looks like the anti immigrant and an Indian sentiment is really growing

https://www.reddit.com/r/canada/comments/15fo84a
The comments complaining about lack of diversity is just ignorance - India is 100+ countries in itself, arguably more diverse than EU. Wonder who would take them seriously! I think what most of the comments in that post say about lack of diversity is "lack of white diversity". Indians are an easy target in my opinion, they go about minding their own business and aren't easy to provoke.

Most people don't even understand that India is a 1.5B population country, we are expected to produce $500k/yr income earners and McD workers as well.

But on the flip side. There are genuine problems with the FOBs (fresh off the boat) who are creating actual issues. I find it very difficult to deal with:
1. Indians who are glorifying food bank hacks - international students and their lovely videos are fuel to this fire.
2. Indians who are rampantly discriminating (veg only, female only, married only, etc shittery) - this is what some of us are trying to escape back home.
3. Indians who are involved in scams like these and are openly supportive of these by playing "victims". The problem is with people having no sense or right or wrong.
4. Indians who just don't want to change. It seems like they just want to live in the same ghettos and do the same shit. But that has more to do with who you are bringing in. Canada treats a good student and a bottom 30 percentile student the same way with a 50/50 rejection rate. So, more and more crap is coming in.
5. Indians squatting 4 in a room paying $500/mo outcompeting single and dual income earning families through sheer ghettofication.

Generally my experience working with Canadians has been quite polar opposite from what Reddit shows. I talk without filters at work and so does my colleagues. Maybe, it isn't a problem right now, but it sure can become a real problem. All it would take is one lunatic politician to start the real shit.

Sad thing, the article it is not an official communication, I do not undertstand why they keep neglecting STEM after they made such a fuss.

Cause the public notion is anti tech people from India. I was reading a reddit comment and it mentioned why do we need Tech people from 3rd world countries like India and not take from Europe, Japan. Wanted to answer him/her that the people in Europe, Japan do not want to immigrate simple.

But this is not about public notion... It is about IRCC making tons of announcements about attracting tech talent, and they they just invite only 500 people.

Ignore those comments for now as it is easy to act like a clown for them on the internet where there are no consequences. In real life, there are consequences and these people stay shut. If they vomit this garbage, we deal with them and put them in their place.

Canadian subreddits are pretty divided into their agendas. r/Canada is polar opposite of r/onguardforthee/ and r/torontohousing is very different from r/canadahousing2. Neither are good, neither are true representation of Canadians. Just hate and agenda filled dumpsters.
