@CitImmCanada
what's d plan for 1000s of FSW applicants who hv been waiting patiently to hear a decision on their application? Why a blind eye and silence on their process outcome? How soon is soon for their processing to be completed?

Countless people suffering from anxiety and stress, unable to decide or plan their lives.
The least that they deserve is few words from you on what should they expect or not. That's it.

@marcomendicino
help 🙏
When so many programs, updates and changes can be announced and put in effect, why then is it so difficult to atleast give a process timeline for FSW applicants waiting for more than 12-16months
@marcomendicino
sir your urgent attention would be appreciated 🙏

In the name of transparency why can't some clear announcements be made to explain the process and expected timeline for their applications to be finalised. Why are we alienating these future Canadians and treating them with disrespect by keeping them in the dark...

Stop blaming international students! Redirect focus to real issues: poor governance, greedy colleges, corrupt education systems, and more.
Let's address root causes, not scapegoat students!

People have been raising their voices but it seems to be falling on deaf ears. As of now, there is little evidence to prove if anything significant is being done to clear these backlogs.
Very few PPRs being issued even after 12-36months.

This backlog is a slap in the face to everyone who put their lives on hold and took a leap of faith trying to enter Canada. People reach out to my office everyday angry about the IRCC and lack of effort the Liberals have put into resolving these backlogs.
There has been several updates on phased reopening of the borders. There have been talks about immigration quotas not being met and yet such a huge section of people who can make that quota happen, are just being made to wait endlessly...

A word to the wise:
If you are a foreign worker (PGWP) in Canada, please do not take your status here as a guaranteed pathway to PR.
Rather the chances are that a large number of workers will eventually leave Canada without any options of becoming a PR.
It's a fact and the
And this is how they are being treated, just like some outcasts. Workers, Open work permit holders, PGWP holders and students all are welcome, but COPR holders must wait. What kind of sadistic discrimination is this. These people are not coming as temporary...

I have nothing against francophones and absolutely support migration of francophones outside Quebec, afterall French is an official language of Canada.

Pro Tip - You do not need to be in

You just need 1 year of valid paid work experience in Canada within the last 3 years.
Your current country of residence and status is not relevant
If Express Entry was meant to create a platform so that Canada can get the best of the available pool of candidates, then is the current state of affairs actually achieving that objective?

But, it will change.
And, when it does, the

Had IRCC conducted these 3 draws - At least 10,000+ would have had a chance to pursue the pathway for PR. Instead, now they just wait in anxiety and stress, with many losing points for age and expiring language scores.
