When will FSW Draws Resume?

Prior to the pandemic, Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) made up about half of all candidates invited from the Express Entry pool. Since March 2020, Express Entry draws have largely targeted individuals likely to already be in Canada. Following the release of an internal memo from IRCC, we now know that it is possible that FSW draws may not resume until halfway through 2022.

Why study in Canada?

Studying in Canada
– by Adnan Kamal

Canada is now home to nearly 600,000 international students. This is triple the amount since 10 years ago. Canada has risen to the forefront of providing education to the students of the world. Canada now ranks as the fourth host-leading country for international students according to the ICEF. Canada maintains its position as a global hotspot for education due to the quality of knowledge imparted and shared by these universities and colleges in Canada. Canada is also well-known as a welcoming and open society, especially towards newcomers. Lastly, Canada provides a comprehensive study-work-immigrate package to international students, which provides them with an opportunity to gain Canadian Citizenship. If Canada appeals to you, or Canada is your destination for undergraduate or future studies, then there are a few important things we can go over before you finalise Canada as your destination for study abroad. Quality of Life and Experiences: Top 5 cities out of a 100 that are ideal for student life and support a student centered culture are all in Canada. Canada is also among the top nations when it comes to quality of life and safety. The country is surrounded by oceans on three sides, has a surplus of scenic mountains, lakes and reserve parks. Some notable ones can be seen below:
* Banff
* Niagara Falls (Way more beautiful when seen from Canada)
* Gros Morne National Park
* Jasper National Park
* Mont-Tremblant
Canada has two official languages; English & French. This bilingual nature of the country opens you up to new cultures, languages, opportunities. Learning French as a second language will not only add skills to your persona but also open up doors in your career. https://secureservercdn.net/166.62.112.219/ggy.808.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/pexels-hai-nguyen-1699414-1024x683.jpg Safety: As an International student it is understandable to hold a certain fear as to the unknown and unexpected as you are going to be in a new country away from home and family. Many parents would share the same fear, however Canada is one of the most peaceful nations and as of 2016 was ranking 8th out of all other countries. Canada also has no tolerance for discrimination irrespective of the individuals circumstance and has laws in place to protect and serve every individual in their country. Quality Education: Canadian Universities and College diplomas are globally recognised and one of the major reasons that many international students are flocking to Canada is because of the Quality of Education it offers. Canada has 11 universities that are ranked in the top 250 universities in the world; hence making it an appealing option for studies abroad. The most elementary question you will have to answer after finalising Canada is; What is that you wish to study? Is this for a Bachelors program, a certificate program, or a post-graduate program. You will need to start with your level of education. This will make it easier for you to plan your next degree. What is it that you wish to study? This is the same as asking; What do you wish to be in the future? Are there any interests you would like to pursue? With this food for thought, the next step after ascertaining the answers to the previous questions would be to shortlist universities and colleges that are suitable to your choice of program or interest of study, keeping in mind the financial quotient of studying abroad. The internet will be your wise old friend for the research you will need to do on these universities. You can find everything on the internet, accredited stories by actual students of the university. You can learn about the student life, potential job prospects for the future, admission costs and requirements, deadlines to apply etc. Look for everything possible while you’re narrowing your lis[...] Open / Comment

Alberta Resumes Draw

Finally, some good news coming out of Alberta for their Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program.
Alberta Express Entry has been a favorite program for most Canadian Immigration aspirants who have been disheartened by rising CRS scores, since AINP issues invitations for CRS scores as low as 300.

Under this program, Alberta would pick profiles from the Express Entry pool of eligible candidates who had their primary work experience in occupation which was seen as priority and was expected to support the province’s economic and diversification policies.

Invited candidates can then continue their nomination application on the newly launched portal and successful applicants would be nominated by the province and would be awarded valuable 600 points to their Express Entry CRS score. These candidates would then receive federal invitations and could proceed with their application for permanent residency.

So, it was quite disappointing to note that Alberta did not conduct any draws at all since June 17,2020. They had also announced that they will not be processing any nomination applications from candidates who currently do not live and work in Alberta.
https://secureservercdn.net/166.62.112.219/ggy.808.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/top-photo-flags.jpg
Out of their 2020 allocation of 6250 nominations, Alberta issued only 4000 nominations, further exhibiting their resolve of tightening the immigration program and thereby providing some relief to the local job market. This way they wanted to ensure that there was less pressure on the local job market, which has already been reeling under heavy job losses and the current unemployment in Alberta hovering in the 7-9% mark.

Alberta had also listed several more occupations in the ineligible for LMIA list, in order to support the availability of local employment opportunities.

Now coming to the good news – Alberta has resumed its draws for their AINP – Express Entry stream and issued 50 invitations to eligible candidates from the Express Entry pool. The lowest CRS score of the candidates who were invited for this draw is 406.

As of now there is no change in their requirement of eligible candidates to be living and working in Alberta, and therefore we can assume that these 50 invitations have gone out to candidates who are currently residing in Alberta.

The allocation for the year 2021 has not been announced and we can expect that this quota is similar to the number allotted for the year 2020, which was 6250.

Now it is to be seen, if they will actually go ahead and use their entire allotment or pull back on their nomination program as they did in 2020.

Regardless of what they do later in the year, in the short term, it is a relief for a lot of candidates who live in Alberta and were eagerly waiting for them to start the process again.
