asbereth said:This will only apply to people that apply under FSW1 (and I suppose, though, that if you're a driller or a crane operator, you'd probably be fine), right? I think both FSW2 and FSW3 would not be affected (the former not having a cap, and the latter is still only like 35 % filled).
I don't know about FSW2, but for FSW1, even if the cap for your profession is not reached, they will no accept more than 10000 applications overall. Luckily, that is not the case for FSW3. MI-4 states:
A maximum of 1,000 new FSW applications from international students pursuing PhD studies or recently who obtained a PhD at a Canadian institution will be considered for processing each year. This cap will be calculated over and above any other FSW caps on application intake identified in previous Instructions.
I imagine people will get discouraged by reading that, since is not clear that it do not affect us.
Also, I have a "presentiment" that they will reduce the cap to 500 applications next year
