NOC code ranges will probably still be pretty dang broad...But here people are saying that they will "reform" it. Which means there will be only NOC specific draws
How though? Because if the budget is saying that the EE system needs to be reformed, isn't that a guarantee that there will be major changes? Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question. Plus I am worried!
It could mean a lot of things, i don't think there is much point in speculating on what a few words in a report are supposed to mean. It's definitely too broad to make any conclusions on the changes they will implement.
That's not to say that they won't narrow the scope of EE in any way, but we need something far more concrete than saying it needs to be "reformed" before we can say with any certainty that it will change in a particular way.
We've only seen targets increase so far.
With all due respect, these are not new issues affecting immigrants, people in Canada have been facing this much before covid occurred. It didn't really change the nature of immigration previously, other than the implementation of EE which just scrapped the first come, first served basis for a draw system. Licensing is always a challenge but if anything Canada has become more progressive on accepting the equivalency of foreign qualifications and designations. Many people believe immigration is not even really about first generation immigrants, it's about second generation immigrants, i.e. you will struggle but your children are who will be the real assets to the country because they will grow up in the Canadian system, immigration is a more longer term strategy than people may realise.
I'm not denying that immigration might get more targeted especially in the aftermath of covid, where large scale immigration might be more unpopular given the economic devastation of covid to people here. Everything you're saying is plausible, but so are many other scenarios too. I prefer to put credence in a concrete announcement not an interpretation of a few lines from a budget speech.
I do believe that skilled immigration to Canada will not always be this high, but again i think i believe in tying it to a particular policy which is real not a perception. For everything people are saying that targeted immigration may be the way to go, i can always point to the fact 8 million baby boomers are going to retire in the coming years, and the average age in Canada is above 40, and they need younger people to fuel their economy and balance their welfare state. So there are strong macroeconomic and demographic reasons why immigration will still not fall below a certain level.
Plus they shouldn't just make these changes immediately right? There will have to be at least a few "normal" EE draws before the NOC ones? I am just hoping that French speakers get a chance.
It'll take some time to introduce reform. Quebec's immigration reform bill was proposed in Feb 2019 and was passed in June 2019. Some of the language being used here is similar to what is being said about EE now:
https://www.cicnews.com/2019/06/quebec-passes-legislation-cancelling-thousands-of-pending-skilled-worker-applications-0612413.html#gs.zao1bd
That being said, Canadian immigration in general has shown itself to be a lot more considerate than Quebec's system, so maybe we can expect a 4-5 month delay once a new bill is proposed. At the end of the day, all the hypothesizing in the world isn't going to make any difference. Just sit tight and wait till ~September. Keep documents ready. Start preparing for GRE/GMAT if you want to go the 'buy-your-PR' route. Focus on what you can do to maximize your chances instead of incessantly dwelling on what you can't have any control on.
I have an education in Canada that I recently obtained, but I'm continuing my education on a study permit, which make me ineligible for the new streams. Bottom line, I'm concerned, since I'm an FSW application and waiting for an ITA. Let's hope for an ITA in Sept like the usual ones "all prog's" and that's it. It's not about having a degree, there are many other factors.
The fact that applications were actually cancelled is shocking... bruh!!
You literally have nothing to worry about. You already have Canadian education and you'll get a work permit after. Your worst case is that your PR gets delayed by a bit, but it's essentially guaranteed once you're eligible for CEC. Anyone who has a Canadian degree at least has a legitimate path to PR. If you're going to start worrying about not getting one immediately, then I don't think there's much that can help you there.

yes for outlanders reducing some ielts score with 3 years experience will get them to 464. just checked it now. Can we do IELTS scores and create two profiles ? hehe
Bruh is it still possible to get an admission from a university ? I'm currently in the pool and when providing a SOP how should I convince the visa officer? I'm 30 and holds a masters degree too.
I’m not a CEC. I finished a degree and now into another one. We’ll see how things go!
I’ve never submitted an SOP to visa officers, only to university. You can get one, but you need to work it out properly. Show your experience and well intentions then go from there.Bruh is it still possible to get an admission from a university ?
