Yes if you want to throw away application fee. Also it's better to save some spots for ppl who dont qualify for CECWhat do you mean by this? It's possible to apply for both.

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.I guess we can only wait for now, but I personally have to make a decision soon on whether to apply for this or CEC, and what's going to determine my future is the BOWP possibility and processing times...Which of course we don't know yet.
Definitely CEC bro. New stream is not Express Entry, so the processing time is longer than CEC (I guess)I am in a similar situation.

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.The thing is that being eligible for CEC doesn't necessarily mean that one would get a PR. There is ranking. There's no ranking for this stream.
Yea that's what scares me the most. We don't know how long they would take to process applications from this new program.Definitely CEC bro. New stream is not Express Entry, so the processing time is longer than CEC (I guess)
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.My wife will be eligible for CEC either at the end of June or early September. We fear something might change and that this score would not be enough.
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.Yea that's what scares me the most. We don't know how long they would take to process applications from this new program.
Let's hope the quota doesn't get filled in the first weekMy wife managed to move her test for May 7.
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
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 timeIt is very easy to get an invitation for CEC nowadays, at least for me.

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?For French speakers pls anyone update
