FSW WORLDWIDE

[starlordavuthu]

yeah looks like i’ll have to re-think this one. Getting a PCC is saudi won’t be quite straightforward, specially for outsiders since the visas aren’t that transparent. I’m worried i’ll push myself into this loop of endless waiting again if things go haywire with the pandemic.

Any idea how long the delays could be, a ballpark figure would do fine. I’m guessing it would also depend on the workload at VOs and the backlog situation. Appreciate your support.

That is million dollar question and no one has a definite answer. Don't miss career growth opportunities because of Canada, you may regret it down the lane.

No PNP draw today. Just when I thought IRCC can’t get more unpredictable

There won't be more any Draws for this YEAR. They have plenty of workload to focus on

There maybe very less PNP candidates in the pool. Ontario already ran out of nominations in in early November, not sure if they were nominating at their usual pace since then.

Ontario invites 1,186 PNP candidates from all Employer Job Offer streams
After more than a month, Ontario has held its first round of invitations under the Employer Job Offer category.

Ontario came back with a bang on December 7, inviting 1,186 immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination.

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) issued invitations to candidates who had profiles in its Expression of Interest (EOI) system. Here are the results of all the draws in a table:

Stream	Description	Invitations	Minimum Score
Foreign Worker Stream	General	470	37
	Targeted draw for Regional Immigration Pilot candidates.	33	N/A
International Student Stream	General	583	62
	Targeted draw for Regional Immigration Pilot candidates.	37	N/A
In-Demand Skills Stream	Targeted draw for health, manufacturing and agricultural occupations.	53	N/A
	Targeted draw for Regional Immigration Pilot candidates.	10	N/A

These candidates may be eligible for one of three streams under the Employer Job Offer category: Foreign Worker, International Student and In-Demand Skills. Some of the invitations went to candidates registered for the Regional Immigration Pilot.


Candidates invited under the Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills stream had work experience in the National Occupational Codes (NOC) below:

Health and agricultural occupations:

• NOC 3413 – nurse aides, orderlies and patient service associates

Ontario wants more immigrants
Each year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) allocates a certain number of nominations to the provinces and territories that run Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).

In 2021, Ontario received an allocation of 8,350 plus an additional 250 nominations for temporary foreign workers in intermediate skilled occupations, NOC Skill Level C.

As of November 10, 2021, Ontario has issued 8,600 nominations. Ontario’s immigration minister, Monte McNaughton, told CIC News in an October interview that the province is asking the federal government to double their allocation next year.

Ontario recently passed the Working for Workers Act, which among other things will help immigrant workers integrate into regulated industries outside of the health care sector. It will prohibit regulatory bodies from requiring Canadian work experience, eliminate the need to do a language test for the purpose of licensing, and speed up the licensing process, especially in cases of emergency.

Did you see this? @seadrag0n

Some provinces also nominated people in the last 2 weeks

 

[Jaycejay]

So I’m not sure why a PNP didn’t hold today; and it’s very usual to expect one tomorrow (Thursday)

This is for paper based PR applications, nothing to do with draws or express entry.

Ohh Okay. But I don’t think they ran out of candidates though

 

[wonderbly]

I think they have met (and even surpassed) their nomination quota for the year. I'm also surprised that there is no PNP today.

Then maybe IRCC is truly done for the year and the next draw will happen in January. There is absolutely no reason to not do PNP draws since the draw sizes are so small and they are not even touching new PNP applications for 5+ months.

Ontario has surpassed its nomination quota on Nov 10. However in the Ontario group we continue to see people getting nominated. But now since PNP is also stopped there’s no hurry in getting nominations, what a relief

If you pay for PNP fee say OINP, Im guessing u still have to pay for PNP PR fee?

 

[GurpreetKalra23]

You should look for older posts here about how CIO processes FSW applications. Your COR is US right? Maybe your application will be moved to Montreal VO, they are processing FSW applications of US residents quickly.

Quickly ??

Waiting since a year and eligibility has not even started so far

You are the minister and you define rules. Isn’t it a oxymoron for you to ask this

On a Serious note, Answer is YES
