I am not sure about answer to your first question because I need to know right answer for that too. But for second one, I got my LMIA from a Canadian employer in the month of July. It took about 6 weeks for LMIA and about 2 weeks for work permit after that. Mine was in global talent stream. I am not sure if that played a part too in deciding the timelines.
Why would there be a draw today? It's only Tuesday. For those who hope to see a change with the new PM, the earliest possible date is in Nov, when the new parliament takes effect.
I doubt there's any change this year though, people have to wipe Marco's ass for him for the gigantic mess that he created.
He’s listed as the minister now on the CSIS site. So it’s part of his overall public safety mandate and he’s the political head of CSIS and CBSA. He’s still actively going to mess with immigration albeit indirectly lol https://www.canada.ca/en/security-intelligence-service.html
Congrats on the oinp my man.
No I don't think I saw it. I was looking at some other options for pr so wasn't looking here much. Unfortunately wound up with only student option in front of me.
If your still going on SP I hope it helps for your career. Please don't go for a one year diploma only in hopes of fast tracked pr. Ur halfway there.

Looking at the mandate letters for immigration for Mendicino in 2019 and then the supplemental letter in Jan 2021(due to covid), the actions taken by IRCC were pretty spelled out. While in 2019 their focus was skilled immigrants and reducing backlog, in Jan their focus became TR, essential workers, and following health minister’s wishes. In both cases, the yearly goal was important. I guess we’ll have some idea what’s in store once the new mandate comes in. If there is nothing on backlog or skilled workers, then it’s best to move on. Mandate letters usually come in after throne speech, which will happen Nov 22. So I imagine nothing will change until then.
