There are few facts That the average Applicants will not get ITA.

I have the same feeling but my friend ticked that he has a job offer supported Lmia where as he doesn't have Lmia and now he has 833 points. It's kinda of wrong information but can he get invitation?

If that's so, then when he has to actually apply, his information will be found incorrect and he will no longer be found eligible. Getting an invitation does not mean anything if his formal application cannot support his claims in the express entry system. He might even be considered to have misrepresented which will lead to him being barred from Canada for at least 2 years.

Yea I might be a bit harsh. But 1 year of Canadian experience is 40 points, max 80 points for 5 years. Compare to 600 for a LMIA? I don't see that as "a lot"

A maximum of 80 points for Canadian work experience just shows you what a joke the CRS is. I understand that getting a positive LMIA is incredibly difficult (and arguably close to impossible in certain industries) however the gap in points between Canadian work experience and a positive LMIA appears to be totally disproportionate.

Given that we are dealing with skilled workers, how is level of education almost double in value (150 points) vs Canadian work experience (80 points)? Not seeing any rationale behind that. They should at least be of equal value.

+1
I think they are still assuming more education means more higher-skilled opportunity. Unfortunately, (to my knowledge at least) many employers in industries don't think that way.

But then they are government officials and ministers and it's kinda normal that they don't know how to real world functions. :rolling eyes:

Nobody can be sure until result is released, but that sounds really high

 

[andyCanadian]

Any chance for 411?

only time will tell...till then i guess stay positive

I think we worry too much. LMIA is a specific criteria for immigration dep to separate in 2 main categories: one should get fast response to save companies time and money of holding their employees, and all the rest bellow

I have a permanent job but not with a LMIA and I am not worried too much. It become so annoying waiting thou..

I also don't believe the language you should struggle for the highest. SOmeone can deal very well in english but not being so well in exams, which by the way really sucks..

Good luck everyone

That's right. What's worse is there are people who do very well in exams, but not in everyday language. They study ridiculously hard for months in IELTS, gets all 9s, and forgets about it. They barely able to communicate with others in English. Those people trumps everyone in the line (Language test is a large chunk in CRS).

I believe that's a problem to schools admission too (IELTS/TOEFL/etc. are required for foreign students)

But then I don't know if there's a better way for that...

Andyca:
you have good point compare to Many other people points. 400+ point are very potential for ITA. wish you all the best.

 

[boreda]

Guys,

I have one question, if maximum ppl saying ITA will get to those ppl whose score is high.. Ok i agree with them. If a X person having 451 points in Engineer field and y person have 400 score in agricultural field. and assume that in canada labour market there is no requirement for engineer.. so u mean to say that 451 person will get ITA in agricultural sector?

This sound Crazy

 

[the_lion]

Yes. And sadly that is true.

 

[boreda]

I dont think so.. what work can engineer person can do in other sector?
