It has been months since I have ever looked at the CIC website. This has just become such a mess that is too much for me to deal with. Enough is enough. It is such a sad truth but I hope all the new applicants realize the fact that express entry is now nothing but a pure "lucky draw". I wanted to call it a "lottery" but even Green Card Lottery is more organized than this joke.

My suggestion out of pure goodwill to all those who have recently entered the pool is to simply create your profile and leave it on its own. Do not make a single plan about your Canadian PR. If your express entry profile (even at post ITA stage) make you put any of your life's decisions on hold even for a day I bet you will regret it later on. After all the only factor within your control which could lower your score is basically getting married. Other than that, do not care about express entry if you have any job offers, planning to study further, or other similar stuff. You can only be sure about your PR on they day you actually step your foot inside Canada on a COPR.

Again, I remind all of you new applicants. Express Entry is a pure lucky draw. Create a profile and just hope one day our luck gets us an invitation, Forget about any speculation, logic, good sign, bad sign, blah blah.
Don't do the mistake of not logging in. Many have lost PPR messages that were not sent as an e-mail because they were too lazy to log in. Irrespective of how pissed you are at IRCC, just do your duty of checking daily or once in 3 days.

Hey everyone quick passport question.

Jan 2021 AOR. My passport is going to expire May 2022 which has my Canadia visitor visa. Should I renew it now and if i do do i need to submit a webform about the new passport? Or should i wait until the current passport is close to expire before i renew?
Renew it, otherwise, you will receive your COPR validity till May 2022 only or even worst if PPR gets delayed further where your passport expiration date plays a major role. Renew ASAP and do your part updating the webform and live in peace.

TORONTO -- Ontario Premier Doug Ford refused to apologize for comments he made about immigrants coming to the province “to collect the dole,” instead saying that he is “pro immigration.”

Speaking to reporters in Tecumseh, Ont. on Monday, Ford said there was a labour shortage in the province and urged people to come to Ontario to work.

“We’re in such desperate need of people from around the world,” he said.

But then the premier specified that he only wanted “hard-working” people to come to Ontario.

“You come here like every other new Canadian. You work your tail off," Ford said. "If you think you're coming to collect the dole and sit around, it’s not going to happen. Go somewhere else.”

‘Collecting the dole’ is a term used in some countries to refer to receiving unemployment benefits.

Shortly after the comments were made, some Ontario politicians spoke out and demanded Ford apologize for the “divisive” remarks.

“A premier is supposed to unite Ontarians, not wedge us further apart,” Ontario Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca said on Twitter. “As a son of immigrants, I know first-hand how people like my parents helped to build Ontario. Doug Ford should apologize for his callous comments.”

Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said the comments echoed “demeaning stereotypes” associated with immigrants while Ontario Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner said that to suggest newcomers are not hard workers “is inexcusable.”

While in Question Period on Tuesday, Ford was asked by the NDP to apologize for the “discriminatory” comments. He did not do so and instead used the opportunity to say he is “pro immigration.”

“I have been pro immigration from day one,” he said. “We are short 290,000 people. I was the only government who wrote letter after letter to the prime minister saying we need more people.”

“All you have to do is come to a ‘Ford Fest’ and you’ll see the support from people around the world,” he added.

Earlier in the day, Ontario’s health minister said that she did not think Ford had to apologize for the comments.

“I don’t think it’s necessary because what the premier was actually saying is that we need more immigrants in Ontario. We have lots of work,” she said at a news conference. “We know that when people come here they do work hard, they provide for themselves and their families, they contribute largely to our communities and we need more people in Ontario. That’s what the premier was indicating yesterday.”

Elliott emphasized that the premier was not saying that immigrants are not hard workers, but rather “his expectation is when people come here that they will work and we know they are working.”

‘IT WAS A VERY OUTDATED AND TIRED THING TO SAY’
Speaking after Question Period, Horwath said that Ford’s response proves the premier has “some pretty distasteful and inappropriate values and believes about immigrants.”

"What he is doing is showing stereotypes of immigrants that create dislike, that create division, that create a situation where people assume that what the premier says is correct and it is not correct,” Horwath told reporters.

“He can parse his words all he wants but a premier that speaks with such ignorance about who it is that built our entire province. We are a province and country of immigrants."

Del Duca, meanwhile, said it hat he wants to give Ford the benefit of the doubt, saying that “at the very least the language was poorly chosen.”

"I think what he said was incredibly hurtful to lots of Ontarians. I think at the very least it shows a very outdated notion of the value of immigration,” he said. "It was a very outdated and tired thing to say so I hope he apologizes and we can move on."

did he refer to the granpas?
As per IRCC, only 30 +/- 2 year old's has the rare and the wildest opportunity to get the PR status and i wonder who's going there to live like shit collecting the benefits from a third world in disguise.

Current CEC method by going with SP wouldn’t help in urgent sense since they would mostly be studying in the first year and current CEC on PGWP are already working. The ideal would be offer WP, but I doubt companies would go through the hassle of Getting a LMIA. Or Marco Polo could finalize the 50k backlog where 60-70% will go to Ontario.
glad this gentleman didn't specify if it's CEC or the FSW

I don't think we are eligible for benefits right after landing.

But I have not yet recieved an ITA buddy (waiting for this so called "all programs draw")...So I assume there is nothing at the moment for me to see on my profile. Even if 0.001% I recieve a PNP nomination even, that would show up in my email I guess. Am I correct?
