Guide will come with ministers live announcement.

Not to be impatient but, isn't it better to release it early and leave the announcement for the Q&A AFTER seeing the guide?

Good media coverage for the minister.

Waiting and waiting....

They are probably still working on it as we speak.

Guys I think I qualify under the ANNEX B – Other Eligible Essential Occupations as I worked as a retail sales associate from 2018 until now.
But the problem is that I just quit that job and now I'm working at a different place in the same position. I worked both jobs simultaneously for about a year. Would it suffice to get an employment verification letter from my previous job to prove that I qualify under NOC 6421? as well as an employment letter from my current job.

I can't decide if I should apply as a graduate or as an essential worker!

Graduate seems simpler if you qualify, no need to prove noc or hours, wait for the guide.

I'm just worried about the 40k cap. There will be a lot more applicants who are going to apply in the graduate stream

No, they won't be able to. It's only going to be for the first 40k. There are many more eligible candidates, sure, but if they're outside the first 40k applicants they won't get it.

All we can do is wait and see if rejected applications mean there's a "spot" opening

 

[SatNight]

I feel there is not much chance of that. I hope I am wrong about it.

Let's just hope it'll be opened for at least 3, 4 weeks.
