FSW program lottery

[ashwani25]

Hi I have a question about the FSW lottery. It seems like the draws in this category are made only once a year. In 2020 it happened on August 6 and in 2019 it was in September. In my my IRCC profie it says I am only qualified for FSW category.

I have CRS score of 448 with CLB 10. My score is low because of my age.I am currently 35 years.

Do you think there will be another round of draws for FSW category this year?
Also will I be considered for any other draw category?

There are FSW draws roughly once a month with a cutoff of around 475, and it's not a lottery, it's just a draw with everybody above the cutoff getting in. Before COVID they were twice a month. The next one should be on or about September 3.

Do you mean FST? Those draws are only once or twice a year with a much lower cutoff, but there haven't been any this year.

Obviously if you only qualify for the FSW stream, you will not be considered for FST, CEC, or PNP draws.
