Ray of hope - FSW - 1

[ashu2111]

Oh that's unfortunate. Good luck though, wish you the best

Thanks! I do hope that the NOC ranges will be broad if the program gets modified. Or at least there are some French specific draws. Maybe we're all worried about nothing and the changes won't be that drastic. I just hope and pray! It's my entire life's work.

It was quite read going through this thread. Seems like the gist of it is FSW intake will be on pause for looooooooooong time. Damn really saddens how things have turned out; started the process in 2019 and when close to reaching the goal, seems like the target is still far away!

It's also terrible that the only country inviting immigrants have also closed their borders. Sign of the times... Sigh...

I was also about to ask the same question. Is it fine if we create 2 profiles with low and high CRS score.

No - you can only have one EE profile.

No - you can only have one EE profile.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'm not sure. You may have to look into dual-intent. I know it's an issue if you were going to the US, but I remember reading somewhere that you can be applying for PR and still apply for a student visa in Canada. You'd just have to be honest and convince them that if you don;'t get a PR, you'd return after your degree is done. Age is irrelevant for degrees.

There is no problem with that here, dual intent is completely fine in Canada. Legalfalcon has mentioned it a few times, don't have any links though. I applied for a closed work permit at the same time as PR, and there was no problem. Work permit was approved

One of the main reason student visa gets rejected is due to lack of ties to applicant's home country. I am not sure if this changes because applicant has entered PR pool?

Any hope for FSW general draw? With the new reform, is it possible that we won’t see a draw this year?

1. No, not for a few months.
2. Yes it's possible, nobody can say for sure.

Asking the same question over and over won't change the answer.

of course asking the SAME question in a DIFFERENT time MIGHT change the answer.

yes as time varies, new information will be updated with details. we all should be very keen on collecting updated info at the earliest so we could act quick. "Time is Money", my boss used to remind me of this quite often.

 

[Rish92]

Well the only certainty in life is change.

we just gotta adapt and survive.

The last quarter will be the time of FSWs this year. If not, then FSW is pretty much retired. I think what's killing people is the uncertainty. If IRCC straight up said they retired FSW people would feel bad for a few days then sit down and replan their strategy.

YES ! exactly.

I have a question !

Since there is no use in waiting for FSW draws , waiting months and years for an invitation and another couple of years for the COPR is pretty waste. By that time some folks would reach 32-35 years of age. so I am thinking of leaving my profile in the pool as it is and change the strategy by taking the studies route. And my question is, if some miracle happens and I get an ITA when I'm on student visa in Canada, is this situation possible ? if it is then what are the next steps ? hehe

 

[joker2209]

Lets not pass judgements on the FSW that early

IRCC is known to surprise everytime and I am sure the same is in the kitty again

I am at 493 snd waiting for FSW draw with my IELTS expiring in October 2021 first week

The only way out is to wait and be hopeful.!

Hey, yes you can totally apply. I got the ITA while I was under my study permit and I submitted all my documents, I didn't claim points for education in Canada so I didn't have to wait for my degree. After applying to PR I applied to my PGWP cause my visa was going to expire in November, so I was under implied status for 1 month and got the work permit in December. Now I am still waiting for PR, its been 7 months and counting.
