Yes if you want to throw away application fee. Also it's better to save some spots for ppl who dont qualify for CEC
New Policy for International Students - April 12th, 2021
- Thread starter Mari_Anne17
- Start date
I am in a similar situation. I will be eligible for CEC at the end of May and I am not sure whether I should jump in for this new PR stream or wait for CEC. If I miss any documents for the May 6th application and IRCC takes a couple of months just to review it, then my time would be wasted.
Definitely CEC bro. New stream is not Express Entry, so the processing time is longer than CEC (I guess)
It is very easy to get an invitation for CEC nowadays, at least for me. If I apply, I'm sure I would get the ITA within a month as the CRS threshold is about 420 now. That's why I'm not sure whether I should wait for CEC or apply for this.
Yea that's what scares me the most. We don't know how long they would take to process applications from this new program.
In that case, it's best if you apply for this stream. However, I am sure that the travel restrictions will remain until the end of June or even later which means that IRCC will continue to invite CEC applicants only and that would keep the CRS threshold low.
If you are applying for this stream, just make sure that all the documents are submitted and you don't miss anything.
Yeah I will get one year in June and my CRS is 478, so I just wait. Unless the new program is taking same speed as CEC Lol.
Yeah. Thank you for the encouragement! We will keep trying. We started with June 4 so this is a much better date.Let's hope the quota doesn't get filled in the first week
To be honest, I am not sure what to expect, or how long it would take to fill out the quota for international graduate stream.
Same, I’m afraid of waiting 2 extra weeks for CEC and then FSW resuming and boom, +480 cutoff again. Some people also argue that less requirements = less processing time
Hey Julia, sorry your question isn't clear enough. Pourrais-tu le dire en français pour qu'on puisse mieux te comprendre et t'aider à trouver ta réponse? Envisages-tu de faire ta demande comme récents diplômés ou travailleurs essentiels?
