65000 to 75000 PRs to be given away in 2015

[Maplemadness82]

Apparently, a total of 65000 to 75000 to be given away in 2015.

If we assume that there is a draw end of every month starting Jan, probably 5K to 6K ITAs every month.

The government told CBC News that approximately 65,000 to 75,000 skilled workers will be offered permanent residency in 2015 under one of three categories:

47,000 to 51,000 will come through the federal skilled worker class and the federal skilled trades class combined.
21,000 to 23,000 skilled workers through the Canadian experience class.

It means that if they plan to publish a report at the end of every draw, like Australia does, we may get to see how many invites were sent out under which category.

At the end of first draw, a lot of queries may get clarified. Will have to wait n see...

Considering that the 2013 figures were 7203 for CEC, chances of everyone getting it?

Oh I didn't quote the source. This is coming from the Ministry figures.

Add the two up for the CEC categories

Canada – Permanent residents by category (principal applicants)
Canada – Permanent residents by category (spouses and dependants)

Edit: It was 4,362 for principal applicants + 2,854 for spouses and dependants. 4362+2854 = 7216 for the year 2013.

Edit2: The previous 7203 figures was from a preliminary table. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/statistics/facts2013-preliminary/01.asp

This is really confusing to me. I wonder will there be that many Immigrants hired through Federal Skilled Worker program (in one month)? Are Canadian employers that much anxious to hire skilled immigrants? ??? ???

I guess it's possible, looking at 2013 stats, there were over 80,000 for FSW.

80,000 is not FSW alone.
It includes spouses & kids of Primary applicant.
