FSW WORLDWIDE

I came across gather.town lately (disclaimer: zero conflict of interest or promotion; I just use it). It’s basically a virtual lounge with virtual tables where people can drop in and chat with everyone at the same table. Seems a good fit for casually socializing with others around a specific topic (Canadian immigration in this case). If anyone finds this interesting feel free to google.

It’s also possible to persist content, so one can write up useful information and even index them. That’s something I find valuable in a forum that Whatsapp/Telegram does not offer.

this?

then we shall try it.

i think telegram / whatsapp is better

should install telegram. hehe. in a month.

That was exactly my point. TG and Whatsapp don't work

Do it like yesterday. You don't want to be the loser in a tie breaker.

Problem is OINP prefers old profiles. So making a new one essentially ensures I will not get a provincial invite.

What about discord?

Yeah concurrency limit is kind of meh. I use it for small groups like virtual hangout at work.

All the OG members got their PPR and left.

I don't know if it's worth it anymore.

Wasn’t asked to do a re-medical but I still did one anyway.
Now my profile says medical passed April 23 and my biometrics says completed. Can I expect good news soon?

As per the new announcement made, the new applications will be processed within the standard 6 months time period. What will happen to the backlogs? Many of us are still waiting to receive our pr. Will the entire backlog will be cleared or do we have to wait further?
This thing is now creating more and more depression, frustration, and many major life decisions are on halt because of this.

According to some source, backlogs went from ~111k to 48k (in persons; this might be FHS which does not include PNP, but let’s assume proportionality for the sake of discussion) from Sep 2021 (exclusive) to Mar 2022 (inclusive). That is slightly above 10k persons per month.

Draws in July will not see meaningful numbers of AORs till August, and R10s till September. So April-August(inclusive) leaves 5 months for the remaining 48k.

If there’s no other shit like TR2PR or refugee crisis (I know it’s a bold assumption given 2021), 5 months sounds reasonable to clear the backlog. PNP draws still happen in this period but the numbers are small. Let’s also remind ourselves that FHS target got reduced, which could mean smaller draws than pre-2021, and less workforce occupied by those new applications.

Another gut feeling of mine is that Fraser hasn’t yet done things that are downright stupid (unlike some MM we all know). Let’s hope the processing standard for new apps will not be at the cost of backlogged apps.

Personal plan for reference
I’m May 2021 AOR and planning to apply for GCMS next month and get it in June. If it’s not all stages passed AND I don’t get any ADR/remed, chances are slim to get PPR by August. Then I’d take it as a bad sign and hop onto other options like UK work visa.

Thanks so much for a detailed revert. Resuming ITA is a good move. But yes, it should not be at the cost of backlogs. This line which stated "further reduction" doesn't give a concrete answer as to how much. Honestly since then I am getting panic attacks. This is too much now

Totally. Tbh if I weren’t panicking too I would not be researching other programs. I’m actually ready to pay that UK application fee as soon as GCMS comes back non-satisfactory. The program opens in June lol, perfect timing.

I don't see how that will be possible. You create your EE profile within your CIC account. How can you move this profile to another account??

I had to change my GCkey so I can't acces my EE profil anymore. There is a way you can link your profile to your new key by providing informations about your profil. (type of application, name, passeport number, and language test) it always says they found no match between the informations i give and an existing file but I took screenshots of every pages of my profil and I am pretty sure I am doing it correctly. I think there is a problem with the "language test number of the first language test“ (which one is the first by the way no idea)

I am uncertain if this is what you are looking for but I found this on IRCC's page about linking an application to a new account. I hope this helps.

Yes this is it but doesn't work thanks for looking at it!
