Yes it seems : /Isnt today’s CEC draw a bit weird?
Cut off score:397

It looks like they have drawn what they needed to almost complete the 6000 people that they didn't take last draw.Isnt today’s CEC draw a bit weird?

yes very close 1842 + 4147 = 5989It looks like they have drawn what they needed to almost complete the 6000 people that they didn't take last draw.
It is too weeeirrd.
Now I don't know if there will be a draw next week or not.
I've been in the US the last 15 yrs. There are a dime a dozen MBAs here. It was easier earlier but now, if you're an international student and don't graduate from one of the top 10 (probably 5) MBA programs, you either don't find a job or you find one which pays diddly squat. After COVID hit, I've seen even Kellogg MBAs (WITH green cards/citizenship) unemployed and asking for referrals on LinkedIn.The new PM breed (product managers/program managers) have it much harder than 'managers' of the past - they know/need to know a lot more tech and work a lot harder to stay relevant. Outside tech, the PM role is largely a title change without as much pay.I hope they haven't chosen 2021 as the auspicious year for it's implementation.
Anyone who knows someone who has been a student of Masters in business administration in Canada?
For some reason, i don't want to study science at my age...i am 29 y/o...and with plan B, i think i will execute it 2-3 years down the line...not now.
Or they really invited grandpa's with their 75 score draw and are trying to avoid that.it seems like IRCC is now waiting for people to have CRS close to 400 and then issue an invite. Free lunch is over

I agree with you. At the end of the day, MBAs just aren't that valuable anymore. If someone really wanted a managerial job, they could just transition from tech in the two years that it takes to get the MBA, all the while earning money and not paying tuition. The move from tech to management is common and quite possible, but moving from an MBA to tech is more rare. And high level tech positions pay as much or more than pure managerial roles. (This only applies to people already in Canada and working in tech though. And by tech I mean at least tangentially related to computer science. )I've been in the US the last 15 yrs.

Speaking of diddly squat, I know diddly squat about Canada but considering the canadian economy isn't as strong as the US, the number of worker jobs > manager jobs, and lots of MBAs and other 'management' folks immigrating there from India etc.. I'd think twice about shelling out money for an MBA if I were you. It might be easier but PR is only one step of your journey - the next is a job, a living, long term job security in Canada etc.
There are people who go to medical school in their mid-thirties. 29 is young af to be pigeon-holed.
I wonder who goes to study in Canada ? i mean for just studies! Canada's education is a gateway for foreign money to flow in, and with that inflated tuition fee they can take care of the Canadian students (citizens) too. Ofc folks prepare elaborate SOP praising Canadian education. hehe the VO and the Student both know this is dumb yet VO issues the visaI agree with you.

I can't think of any benefits to getting an MBA in Canada besides getting a PR eventually if that's the only option left.
Up for debate but there's an underlying assumption that diversity leads to un-quantifiable good too - studies showing the correlation between diversity & better ideation/problem solving blah blah (not to mention homogenous societies usually leading to close-mindedness). Also, do we want a system where one immigrant community grows so large that they dominate a country's political systems?Kind of ironic. Including a quota by definition negates a merit based system. But they abandoned a merit based system a while ago, so I don't see why they wouldn't also start country caps at some point.
To kick off, the benefits of population growth via immigration is being pulled down by the ageing and decaying Canadian population. If the effects of ageing population is negligible then it's better to tackle the unbalanced communities. IMO. It's the next generation that Canada wants i guess. the immigrants moving now are just building grounds of new economy and a breeding population. : / Please correct me if my opinion is invalid.Up for debate but there's an underlying assumption that diversity leads to un-quantifiable good too - there are studies showing that diversity leads to better ideation and problem solving blah blah (not to mention homogenous societies usually lead to close-mindedness).
