Ray of hope - FSW - 1

[neha_415]

The scoring hasn't been revised officially yet. So as of now, no delay is expected in draws

Hope the draw happens next week.

No one knows for sure, last time the French increase was released to public on 27 but it actually started on 20 October. When they posted it, the date was oct 20, thats why we have a draw last week instead of 4 weeks gap. Im just wondering was there any profile got updated with the new Canada education thing yet?

No one got yet but speculations are at all-time high.

Just to clarify;

If you have canada diploma (one ow two years) - you will get 30 points instead of 15.
If you have Canada Master - you will get 60 points instead of 30.

is it correct?

No, this is not official yet

What you guys expected the new CRS score be ? 480-485 or 490+ ?

In near future, I guess it may hover around 480+

In near future, I guess it may hover around 480+

On the basis that Canadian education gets extra points right?

if you got it, go for it unless you don’t want to Toronto. It is regular PNP program only and the cut off was 469-477 today.

Thanks for reply. CRS is 471. What do you suggest should i go for it or wait for more draws ?

As Gurpreet said, if you have the option to get in via PNP, and you want to live in Ontario, take it. If you want to live elsewhere, wait for other FSW draws.

Which option would guys would have preferred?

What could changes look like?
The minister did not hint at what the changes may entail, but his options may include one or more of the following:

launching new federal pilot programs
holding program-specific Express Entry draws
modifying Express Entry’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to provide more points for Canadian experience
modifying eligibility criteria for federal programs (e.g., reducing the work experience requirement for the Canadian Experience Class)
extending the length of temporary work permit durations to give candidates more time to gain the Canadian work experience

Did you get the EOI? You should start preparing the documents for the PNP application. I think they can be reused when it comes to PR application. You won't need to submit PNP application straightaway and have plenty of time left to wait for the express entry draws.

I might be wrong, but I read from somewhere that if one rejects the Ontario PNP EOI, he won't be eligible for receiving EOI again should the Ontario draws happen in the future (Ontario draws are quite frequent nowadays).

It is showing 30 points for Canadian degree while calculating CRS.

Change is reflected in EE profile?

Additional 15 points have been given to CEC candidates who are Canadian degree holders (un-official news). Congrats.

OMG! the draw should happen next week. Now it is highly doubtful that next week it will happen.
