I have the same situation, studied and worked in Canada but not qualify as CEC, waiting for a FSW draw.I studied in Canada but doesn’t count as Cec.
My crs score is 502, and I hope they will have FSW soon
This is kinda surprising though. Anyone looking to work in the US, especially a student, knows how stupidly difficult it is to get a work visa, and they're all already considering Canada as a backup. What's the point of IRCC doing events there? Are they that out of touch with reality?They also did one in February for University of Maryland

I think it makes sense if these info sessions help contemplators to make their decision and attract people who graduated from "good" US universities. I can tell the vast majority of attendees have no idea about how EE works, judging from the questions they asked. Heck I even saw at least 2 people ask if they can do EE while being a US citizen/green card holder. LOLThis is kinda surprising though.

Interesting, I didn't realize people were that uninformed, since the information about express entry is so easily available and the EE system doesn't actively try to screw you over.I think it makes sense if these info sessions help contemplators to make their decision and attract people who graduated from "good" US universities.

Doesn’t “actively” try to screw you lolInteresting, I didn't realize people were that uninformed, since the information about express entry is so easily available and the EE system doesn't actively try to screw you over.
That being said, it's good that they haven't given up on FSW, even though I'm sure they said 'soon' in february too haha
Just by virtue of some of the responses and threads created on this very forum, this is clearly not the case, at least with regards to people seeking out the relevant information.since the information about express entry is so easily available
Thank you so much for sharing. This is indeed helpful. Only problem is we don’t know when and scores drop as we get older but positive news nonethelessThey also did one in February for University of Maryland

It's all relative. That people refuse to use the search function and post the same questions over and over, doesn't mean the information isn't available. Plus, the forum itself is an example of resources available to help people out.Just by virtue of some of the responses and threads created on this very forum, this is clearly not the case, at least with regards to people seeking out the relevant information.
Wasn't being contrarian. Or at least wasn't trying to be. Just more so pointing out that IRCC would be shooting themselves in the foot if they didn't conduct the sort of outreach programs that we are currently discussing, regardless of how readily available the information on Express Entry might be. The general rule of thumb when it comes to acquisition and retention, in any organization, is to assume that the majority of segments and demographics are in fact, uninformed.There are a lot of grey areas and a lack of transparency. In light of this, the express entry system is strikingly more accessible. There's no need to be a contrarian for the sake of it haha
