FSW WORLDWIDE

Disagree. Numbers are more than enough.

For the amount of natural resources that Canada has, it should have been a 10 trillion dollar plus economy. Its nothing but wasted potential because they do not have enough people to exploit it. And worse part? Most of them have gone grey.
What I fear is other powers will run out of resource and will start moving towards Canada.

Actually it has the most precious of all resources, fresh water.

Until Canada would have figured out the best way forward and ramp up the quota where applicable (instead of blindly inviting 500K), numbers should have been matched with the current state of infrastructure. Improve infra, get more people. Get those people (or percentage) to improve the infra. Once that happens, ramp up the numbers again.

You can not improve infra unless you have people to do it. Only way around is to invite massive amount of people in infra-building trades. General labourer, contruction workers, plumbers and so on. Canada has an absolute dearth of such workers here.

With the latest all-program EE entry draw number reaching 5500, do we have an estimated number that IRCC is planning to invite in 2023?

There is a level plan, that should give you an idea.

75K FHS + 86K PNP.

That's exactly what I said.

Instead of inviting 500K people, it could be better to increase PNP quota, and work with provinces on inviting NOCs that can help on scaling infrastructure. Meanwhile, higher ups start preparing to invite higher numbers. Build (or plan to) affordable housing; not many people can afford (nor should they) to pay 2500 CAD for 1 bdr in GTA. Work on provinces on licensing issues that prevent many medical professionals from practicing in Canada; don't cancel the requirements (that would be foolish) but streamline them.

What puzzles me is the complete lack of FST draws. The last one took place on 6 August 2020.

I think that may change with targeted draws.

Hello Everyone,

475 was a good score in the past but recently FSW has been extremely competitive and 470-480 bracket has a lot of applicants (over 20k).
Can you improve your score in any way? Have you maxed out your language test results?
490+ would put you in a very strong position
Anything below that is a complete unknown as the new system will be implemented in April. It won't scrap the current system completely but it's likely that the threshold may be even higher.
It seems like at the moment, the best bet is to get extra points for French.

I have seen a lot posts like this in FB groups, looks like a lot of CEC's will be forced to leave because their PGWP is expiring and they don't have ITA because of high cutoffs.

Guys need help.
Can anyone share the link to fill "the goods to follow" form please.

Plus any Indian who has prepaid airtel cellular sim, does it work for otp and sms services?

If not airtel which cellular network works fine?

Which is weird!

PNPs have about 86K approved places. A person on PGWP stands a very good chance to capture those places. Its simply that a lot of SP -> PGWP -> CEC are getting out competed even though a similar person owing to their canadian education and work exp gets about 15 points more (486 vs 501 for a under 30, masters holding, 1 year work exp (outside Canada vs in Canada). If employer agrees for LMIA or has a LMIA on hand, he can get 50 more points. If s/he has a job offer (LMIA not required), s/he can get 600 points via PNP.

Its simply that a lot of SP -> PGWP -> CEC are getting out competed even with additional 30 points due to their canadian credentials, 1 year of canadian work exp gives 40 points by itself, skill transferability.

Many of them cannot even pass IELTS which is ridiculous for someone who studied in Canada. That paired up with general entitlement ("please give me PR. I graduated from prestigious Lambda college") is something that pisses me off majorly. I graduated from a Canadian university with Masters but have never felt that I deserve PR more than someone who is from outside. I have always felt that my Masters would help me with my career and just ease my process of getting a job but have never assumed that I would get PR just because I studied here. That's why I went to UWaterloo and not George Brown college; having degree from Waterloo helped me a lot when I was looking for a job in EU.

At that point they are getting out competed which is perfectly normal! SP is no ticket to PR!
