Ray of hope - FSW - 1

[guelphite]

Another CEC draw, with overall 5000 ITAs issued. What’s the hope for general draws? Why CEC draws are back consistently now?

They will restart FSW draws at some point. They need to to hit immigration targets. Probably paused for now bc of application backlog and challenges with expiring COPR

Guys Im devastated. Is there any chance for FSW 468? I'm thinking dropping canada and trying for UK or australia

Idk about UK or Australia. Could you do a grad school program in Canada to improve your score?

Try UK, Australia even harder than Canada.

Haha Australia, in your dreams. Did everything possible while in australia since 3 years here,still no hope. Canada got ITA within 2 days of making profile so forget about Australia.

Don’t know about UK but people not living in Australia should forget about hoping for Australian PR from offshore. Not gonna happen.

My situation in 2015: Inland Australia, Au diploma, work exp : no chance
Came back to my country for a few years, work and got master: try as outland Canada candidate: got ITA after a few months. Tbh, love Au weather but its not welcoming immigrants as Canada

Hey guys, quick question about university name and company name while filling express entry profile.
Should I put the names in English? or should I put the original names in their original language?

Thank you!

I completed Masters in Australia. My graduate visa ran out so had to return to India last month and leave Australia behind.
Have submitted EE profile at 481 CRS score. Eagerly waiting for next FSW round.

New Zealand is the best comparison to Canada. Online score system like EE, and my points matched similarly for NZ compared to Canada. Could get PR without a job offer there.

Feel for you mate
Hope things work out for you in Canada
It’s Australia’s loss if they don’t care about hardworking immigrants.

In Australia a lot depends on your occupation, if the occupation ceiling is high for your occupation then you've got a small chance.

But it's hard to compete with people who have studied and worked in Australia because they have a lot of additional points due to that.

However, the government is under pressure to reduce immigration because of overcrowding in the major cities and the lack of housing. They've also reduced the visa 189 quota to just 6,500, and are now taking people mainly on temporary visas.

Now is definitely not the time to immigrate to Australia.

Even before COVID, Australia had dropped the number of invites for 189, making the points cut-off go very high, regardless of the occupation.

post COVID they stopped it completely leaving lot of temporary residents (like me) in limbo.

I am really hoping score of 481 is enough to get thru to Canada and give life some stability.

 

[Islander216]

Yes, the Liberal party (conservatives in Australia) won the election in 2019 mainly by leveraging anti-immigration sentiments, even though most people predicted they would lose.

481 is more than enough for an ITA.

Australians must be racist with white-supremacy ideology, otherwise I cannot see any reason to stop immigration
