FSW WORLDWIDE

It was a good watch but I didn't really understand why he kept mentioning a boot throughout his speech.

Underrated.

MM’s removal/replacement will be a WIN for us all. It can’t get worse than it is now

I'm just happy that the liberal party has slim chances to form a majority government. At best they'll stay a minority which will destroy what's left of JT's image (call a snap election and stay a minority = your image is gone because you wasted money and time). Then they won't be able to pass laws to mess up skilled immigration. I think we'll be good.

Looks like JT's chances at majority aren't that slim. This terrifies me to be honest.

The new conservative guy is saying we can pay extra for priority processing, I will take that than no news at all.

LEGALFALCON:
One of the biggest myths is that liberals are pro immigrants and conservatives are not. Under the liberals, the backlogs have increased.

It was the conservatives that actually revamped the immigration system in 2015 by bringing in the Express Entry, which is now the flagship program of Canadian Immigration. The processing time was brought down by EE from 3 years to 6 months for economic immigrants.
No political party in Canada is anti-immigrant. The only contention is about legal immigration. Conservatives support legal immigration and do not want people jumping the queue.

Finally, an election does not change the immigration policy. It may change the numbers a little, but Canada will remain open to immigrants, whether it is the conservatives or liberals. In the end, you have to see who manages things better. Going by the track record, it is the conservatives that have managed immigration better.
Just by announcing large numbers, you cannot make the process streamlined. You need proper laws, updating the systems and allocate additional resources to IRCC.

As regards cancelling the applications, that will not happen.

This happened in 2012 due to Bill C-38, which was later known as Canada’s Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Act. IRCC was facing a lot of issues. IRPA was amended and section 87.3 was introduced, which gave the power to the Immigration Minister to issue Ministerial Instructions (MI) to streamline the process and fix quotas.

In 2008, over 600,000 applicants were awaiting processing and the number continued. However, the Act created section 87.4 of the IPRA, a provision which had the effect of unilaterally terminating all FSW applications submitted before 27 February 2008 which had not received a decision based on selection criteria before 29 March 2012.12 This amounted to a total of approximately 280,000 applications being rejected.

After this, the express entry was brought in 2015.

However, we are currently nowhere close, and the power of the ministerial instructions is in place with the Minister, who uses it for all draws and can also exercise them to streamline the process. This is why no new FSW draw has taken place in the last few months.

Also, most pending applications have already crossed most stages and some even have a decision made. It is just a matter of borders opening and issuance of COPR.

I highly doubt that the same 2012 situation will repeat.

All parties know they need immigrants. One thing legalfalcon left out is that the conservatives awarded high points for a job offer when they started EE. They preferred to award the maximum points for candidates who filled an immediate need in their job market, as opposed to the Liberals, who looked at the long term in terms of age, health, education, skillset.

So as it stands, future FSW ITA hopefuls should still hope for a liberal win. Otherwise, there's a chance Canada goes the New Zealand/Australia route where it's either home education or a job offer that makes or breaks an application.

Yeah, someone shared a brochure of the conservative party's plans if they win the election including plans for immigration in this thread, below is the link for the document:

That's 2021 for you. I don't see Canada going AUS/NZ under a con party. They didn't go that route before JT, they won't now. Canada is not AUS or NZ. Canada is the fallback plan of people who couldn't go to AUS or NZ.

i got out of the work a month ago, and had some stuffs to do and later went out to visit my pals, so a route goes via derby - lake district - edinburgh - aberdeen. and spent a week with my pal and his fam and back. ima go out for trips and not gonna stay home. The time spent away from the pc and phone was incredible.

It's good to see you back on these forums, even if not for very long given your plans.

Canada was supposed to be on the Australia route by taking in as many immigrants as possible over the years which they didn't and whichever party comes in power, immigration will be required. More than 30% of Canada's population will be retirees in the next 10 years which is the absolute worst-case scenario.

On twitter i read that IRCC has a big backlog and the expired COPRs is planned to process from 21st Sept. No FSW draws will be held this year. This was not from the offical IRCC site but someone else, saying one of the persons working in IRCC mentioned so

Another twitter post said IRCC is closing for good to join hollywood to film horror movies. This was not from the official IRCC site but someone else.

IRCC’s shady behavior has left room for skepticism and fabrications like these

21st Sept so that’s the day after the elections - interesting. And did the ‘someone else’ mention about what happens to the existing applications?
