Official: Canada welcomes back fully vaccinated Americans as border rules ease
Canada is once again allowing U.S. citizens and permanent residents back into the country, provided they’ve been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

After 17 long months, a ban on non-essential travel across the Canada-U.S. border was finally eased at midnight, although the Americans have yet to lift their own limits on Canadian travellers.

Eligible visitors must live in the U.S. and have allowed 14 days to pass since receiving a full course of a Health Canada-approved vaccine.

Does this mean it will start raining PPRs to all the US Residents finally? Or is there anything still remaining?

I’m expecting that we will begin to see PPRs issued in batches to US-resident applicants sometime this month but September looks like the golden month when PPRs will rain (as long as travel restrictions easing happens as planned).

I also think that September will be that month :D

I don’t think they are good at separating cases, like same with inland FSW. Or they just don’t care much for it lol. I hope US residents get more PPR this month, but I expect it next month.

Yes, there is an Azure equivalent to that :D It is AZ-204 if I am not wrong :)

I think these days, traditional Sysadmin roles are transforming to DevOps roles. I think today most sysadmins needs to know how to code or at least write some scripts :D

- Cloud
- Networking
- Virtualization
- Coding
- Security

These are the most in-demand skills for sysadmins :)
So I have been thinking about learning new technologies to get some new opportunities.
Which one could possibly be easier to finish: Any DevOps certificate or Full Stack certificate.

I have bit of background in both. Would love to know your opinion.
 
But if they start processing FSW inlands, then the FSW outlands will simply go on a student visa or tourist visa and declare themselves as inlands.
But tourists/students are only now being able to enter, not processing Outland while allowing tourists are also evil lol.

Which shows how stupid it is not to process applications because of travel restrictions... Anyways not only FSW can do that, but any outland applicant.

There is no such a thing to become a DevOps after just one course. DevOps is more like a process of work than the position itself. It is the way different teams are working together such as Sysadmins and Devs. Becoming a "DevOps" usually takes good few years of different experience and knowledge of different technologies ;) For the start I would focus on cloud such as Azure or AWS ;) I would go with Azure ;)

Cloud concepts are the same across the board no matter if you are using AWS or Azure or GCP ;)
 
I don’t think they have an algorithm for differentiating inland from outland FSWs. Also, it’s possible for an outland to convert to an inland like @jester said; they probably didn’t want such to happen

Though it is hard to believe that in 21st century a developed country like Canada does not have a system to differentiate or simply sort applications based on inland-outland applicants, that too when applications are online and not on paper.

Or maybe that is just a lame excuse IRCC wants us to believe.
