The same was happening last year, no word on FSW at all and then they suddenly started doing giant 5k invites all programs draws.It's been 5 months and not a single official word out on the supposedly temporary pause on FSW. They don't even say FSW anymore and pretend it never existed.
Wondering How long thats going to continue.Sooner or later they are going to pull plug on it too.The only positive thing happening right now is FSW/outland candidates are receiving invites through PNP draws which is something I guess.
I don't think they will retire FSW anytime soon, its just that they are not able to invite them as the pandemic situation is more clear now, it was not last year and they are doing everything they can to meet their target for this year. Check some of the AOR threads from late 2019 and early 2020, outland candidates are receiving COPR's even from India with expiry of Jan 2022. Some are even allowed to travel to Canada right now with authorization letters from countries where situation is a bit better.Wondering How long thats going to continue.Sooner or later they are going to pull plug on it too.
It is just being in the right place at the right time.
Can you stop with the images..... lmfao!!
yayo mate but a meme is worth a million words and it's a tradition. : )Can you stop with the images..... lmfao!!
Is this really true? If that's the case, how probable do you think FSW applicants from last year, would be receiving CoPRs this year? Hoping to leave my country by year's end if everything goes well.From an immigration lawyer: visa officers indicated in a meeting that the earliest time they are going to process existing FSW applications is August.
I won't expect any draws until they start issue PPRs to existing FSW applications.
Existing FSW app processing doesn't have that much to do with new FSW draws. Sure they don't want a backlog, but I don't think that is a major concern given they've only had 5 months of draws in the last 15 months.This is solid info from first hand. Based on that, probably no FSW until Sept 2022, which is maybe why the govt plays dead about FSW. And when they bring it back it'll be NOC-based with probably 1k draws and 500+ cutoffs. So people waiting for an ITA through FSW won't be able to land before mid 2023. FSW is dead. I hope the new govt can fix the system and turn it back to what it used to be.
August is just above 2 months from now.From an immigration lawyer: visa officers indicated in a meeting that the earliest time they are going to process existing FSW applications is August.

Shh, don't bring rationality into this. It'll get in the way of all the emotional drivelAugust is just above 2 months from now.
Lol ..last nail in my coffin
they wouldn't have invited CRS 75 - 400 and their dogs and cats and grandmothersGotta love politicians. "We want to target individuals better suited for Canada's needs" -> proceeds to give people with CRS 75-400 free ITAs.
Also the person in the video says "maybe the govt has put FSW on pause because they've been waiting to finalize the changes". See? I've been saying this for months now that the FSW situation has nothing at all to do with travel restrictions, travel restrictions are just a sorry excuse for political actions and gain.
The current incompetent govt messed up and they're blaming it on the EE system, specifically FSW. So now they're messing that up too. If the govt is so worried about targeting the best suited candidates for canada's job market, they wouldn't have invited CRS 75 - 400 and their dogs and cats and grandmothers. I hope canada goes to an early election somehow so a competent government can be elected.
