Dear IRCC, on behalf of lot of FSW candidates, may I kindly ask you when all draws will commence An update from you shall keep us all informed of this and we desperately need an insight about the commencement of all draws Hence could you kindly provide an update

Recent CEC-only and PNP-only draws were meant to benefit candidates who are already in Canada with a temporary status. Processing of PR applications is continuing, though it has been affected by the COVID-19 situation. We aren’t going to speculate on future rounds.

Guys, tough days ahead it seems. Tweeted IRCC yesterday and they gave this reply
Guess they are really not interested to call FSW dudes. All the 470s and deep FSW aspirants might have to look for other options if this is not normalized until some time.

They have been giving out this scripted answer since Easter 2020. We have to sit and wait then.
Other countries are having their borders closed, too, at the moment. So the only option that we are having is to live well, stay healthy and focused on our jobs. In this way, we are able to earn extra few bucks and get ourselves prepared better for the future, including our Canadian immigration journey ahead.

Nope, not like that. My sister is in Montreal and her friend is a BAR council member. There is a strong aversion towards immigration now it seems.
Too many jobless ppl (my sister too lost her part-time job) and many are fighting to survive day in day out
Her friend (the BAR council member) has informed her that until the cases are drastically reduced, no inviting outsiders except the US
Although nothing is official, this info and the data given by my sister is just disheartening
People said TorontoSun tabloid is giving improper info and now this IRCC tweet is confirming it hard
Deny or not, IRCC is really really really not giving a damn to FSW dudes.
Wait for nearly 3 to 4 months to see something positive happening

The last General draw was done on the 4th of March! It has been over 2 months already. I wonder how many more months it will take the IRCC to resume the general draws. Nothing has ever happened like that in the history of Express Entry.

  • If more than one candidate has the lowest score, the cut-off is based on the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profiles.
