Peak PR backlog was 550k people and now it is 500k people with almost half under "economic" category. How can they clear the backlog if they start inviting 3000 profiles per draw?

But EE is a small fraction of it and IRCC's priority. For other economic programs they can literally drag forever.

Exactly yes I’m from Cameroon. We are bilingual here so we can switch from English to French without even noticing

Remember to provide only English documents, although Canada is promoting Francophonie, but be aware that they don't process our applications like the others, for us it takes an extra time, and no one understands what's going on.

Any updates on the recent number of backlogs? :/

Probably this week, CIC News will publish a report on the backlogs.

They do it almost every month.

Anyone willing to watch this and provide summary? Thanks for taking one for the team

I watched it for you. i hate that he's a grown man who doesn't know how to pronounce the work 'pandemic'. It's pandemic, not PENDAMIC...

Anyway he makes an interesting point. He says most people with the high scores are not CEC because even for CEC, it's not easy to get 500+. He's wrong about this one, it's incredibly easy for CECs to get 500+. What he meant was that CECs are too lazy to get a high score.

He thinks that the 1500 - 800 (PNP) was mostly comprised of people with job offers. for the past two years, people with LMIA job offers must have been accumulating this whole time. Not sre if this holds true, because wouldn't someone who got an LMIA job offer in 2021 just have the offer rescinded? What employer is going to wait two years for someone to get an ITA and another year for it to be processed?

I'm not buying it.

if someone will get LMIA job offer then they will go for a work permit and then they will patiently wait for the draws, otherwise it does not make any sense to hold this LMIA job offer

My question is why drag the other backlog? It has to be done at some point so why not just reduce it as much as possible before inviting new people?

It is impossible for most CEC's to score CLB9 in IELTS, forget about CLB10. No wonder most of them have low scores.

How come - if someone is already living in the country where primary communication language is English then what is their excuse to not learn it This is hilarious.

So all highly regulated professions especially medical related ones won't ever be invited because they cannot start working immediately after getting PR and licence process takes a long freaking time.

First of all, it is some kind of relief that they put a date to it. I was very certain that this year there was no way they could be able to implement it, so now they have to consult every possible stakeholder to come up with a list of occupations and degrees which are suitable for the Canadian economy. I believe every NOC in demand by the provinces will automatically be in that list, as per highly regulated occupations, I am in favor of staying the same, highly regulated and off reaching.

Secondly, if they make draws based on occupation, education, language ability or region, then it prepares people what to expect. Let's take our case for example. Can't believe 1 year and a half has passed waiting everyday for the draws to resume, then after they resume, they are almost insignificant. Disapointment in many levels. If you knew what was coming, you take the guesswork out of the way and reason if you should start the Canadian journey or not.

There are 226k candidates in the pool, if each of them took just one IELTS test that would be $40M alone, not counting education assessment and all, so a pretty fcking huge waste of money for something you should prepare and have almost zero certainty if it will pay back.

@Rkb94 did you end up faxing your address change to IRCC? Let me know, I need to do the same in a few weeks as well.

If Canada shuts down the pathway to an easy PR, Canadian Student Visa pathway will possibly double in the coming years given the desperation of people around the world to move to a "developed" country. Interesting days are ahead...!!!
