Here's the thing. If he is meeting with Sean Fraser, he could very easily ask him SPECIFICALLY about FSW draws. Not CEC, not express entry, not any other umbrella term. Specifically FSW. He knows this has been a pain point for almost 2 years with the lack of transparency and uncertainty.
But he won't. He will not bring it up, and he will not ask for clarity. And I refuse to believe this is because of incompetence. He's a very capable guy, and has very clear reasons not to ask for clarification regarding FSW draws. We will NOT be getting any useful updates in 3 weeks or whenever.
No draws are not just worry for candidates but for immigration consultants. Imagine with explicitly specifying no draws till June 2022, though it is just speculation, candidate will hesitant to hire consultants which will be money loss.

In Canada, there are grades of truth. You get low grade truth about your application from your portal. You get medium grade truth from calling the IRCC. You get high grade truth from GCMS notes. Pure truth either does not exist or is too dangerous for the country to be released in open, so it is contained and destroyed as soon as it is produced or used.
@dankboi as the memo states they have enough inventory of FHS for their 2022 targets. and they are holding draws also, so we can conclude that we all backlogged FSW-O's will get PPR in 2022

He might ask and he might get an answer. One thing to know is that those meetings are not open to general public. Most likely, he is not allowed to share many things, unless he is permitted to do so.
Because Holthe was/is the chair of the Canadian bar association or some shit. Idk wtf a chair does, but basically he's a high ranking lawyer for immigration related stuff and has direct lines of contact with the immigration minister.
Need a little advice. I'll be getting my stamped passport back in a couple of days (details in signature). My counterfoil is valid until December 2022, but I have to travel to Canada before my medicals expire, as the Ready For Visa Letter says "Your Permanent Resident document(s) will expire one year after the date of your medical examinations". Here's the timeline of my medicals:
Medical exam: 22 Sep 2020
Medicals expired: 21 Sep 2021
Medicals reassessed and extended: 22 Dec 2021
I don't know the duration of the extension (6 months or 1 year) or if the extension is counted from the date of expiry or the date of reassessment+extension and I don't intend to order GCMS notes to find out. I'm thinking of going with the safer option of just travelling to Canada for a soft landing ASAP and get this whole thing over with before things get stuck again.
