this is just one tweet and not really official - its an internal memo - not the final decision or policy - i dont think it will really pan out this way - they need immigrants for economics so i highly doubt this is going to happen. 2022 -24 plans will be out in feb - so things will get clear then
CEC - No Draws are Expected till 6 months, and future draws are expected to be over 500 points. What are my options?

- Start date
I think it is quite believable.
Yes they need immigrants, and they already have more than enough.
They got 90K from last year's TR2PR, they got 40K Afghanistan refugees, and they got 76K EE backlog.
They don't need even one single new invitation in the next 2 years.
They got 90K from last year's TR2PR, they got 40K Afghanistan refugees - this doesnt bring in the $$$$ in taxes - 99% of these will be in min wage
Work until your work permit expires. Then, leave to India (I assumed from your name) unless you are eligible for a PNP program. Apply from India when draws are back. Being a CEC, you stand a great chance. This is not the end of the world. These are uncertain times, so whatever you plan, plan quickly but with a clear mind.
It is very dangerous to assume that IRCC cares about applicants' fate.
We don't have votes and they don't need to care, and based on what is happening now I guess they indeed don't.
Thank you for your response. I studied MBA here. and my job is in Digital Marketing. so I do not think it comes under BC Tech Pilot. I got to know from some recent news that Canada government will be announcing their plan for 2022 by February 11th. I am hoping for some magic to happen in the news. If not, I will talk with my HR just how you explained.
No way it will happen today.
The minister said he didn't even have a date for CEC to resume at an interview last week, meaning it will be quite a period of time.
We can forget it in the next 4 months I would say.
I saw interview but there was no mention on definite 6 months hard stop, it is mostly echoed as temporary.
By the way, the rational to hold draw is little hard to understand. Back in december, there were approximately 120,000 applications in backlog for economic migration. This includes CEC, FSW and PNP. Considering 100% of CEC in Canada at the moment, which brings 20% of overall applications. These candidates are in jobs and do not contribute to jobless. FSW and PNP nearly around 95% percent will be outside Canada. For most, it is not easy to get and start job next day. Almost there will me minimum 3-6 months of lead time to come in Canada, understand culture, integrate and find jobs.
Bringing processing times under pre-pandemic is totally understandable but to faster processing FSW/PNP outlands to tackle labour shortage at cost of holding CEC draw is something fuzzy.

Temporary is open to interpretation. 100 years is temporary.
PNP will be 100% in Canada I think. They have to have a job to be eligible for PNP.
Overall, they have 90K backlog for CEC and PNP, and they only need 55K for 2022, that is why they are not drawing.
2021 majority cases are handled and pre-pandemic most PNP came from outside. Note, PNP is not just to support with Job offer but to address regional high skill demand which is hard to find. ,Temporary is open to interpretation. 100 years is temporary.
Be positive. If it was such a long, nobody will waste time. Isn't

Also on checking FB and other forum threads, almost 95 % recent PNP PPR's are not inside Canada.
By the way, what are the options in this scenario. I have 1 year Canada experience and working on LMIA-Exempt closed workpermit. Also getting documents from employer is difficult and they will not support.
