Re: *** Canadian Experience Class update ***
WE don't have final details yet and I don't expect to see them before Summer, although I've been wrong few times in the past with my predictions.
So far proposed rules state that Canadian experience must be obtained after graduation, if one wants to use 2-years education and 1-year experience rule.
Co-Op (depending how it is set up) was rarely counted as work experience as it usually is part of education program. And it is not full time anyway as it is alternated with classes.

If the rules are finalised as stated, a lot of international students who have worked hard to secure top notch internship jobs and contributed to the canadian economy will be at a disadvantage and those that have simply obtained a degree without similar achievements and been lucky enough to get hired after graduation will go through. This simply seems unfair. What do you think?

Hi Andrew,
I need your suggestion.
I have PGWP as well as the LMO.... and I qualify under both SW and CEC(with its current requirements) classes.
Which way should I be selecting, should I wait for CEC or go with SW class now?
Actually I am trying to ignore any US visits for Interview and I do not want to give the IELTS test again ....so should I wait for CEC?
Please also let me know if you have any update on CEC (when they will gonna implement this class).
Thanks in advance....

20,000 visas to be issued under CEC in 2008 - it is 20,000 applications getting higher priority treatment than standard SW applications in Buffalo. You are telling me that 20,000 cases pushed to back burner is not "a dramatic increase in processing times"?
Still a lot of people who meet CEC requirements will select CEC route over SW with arranged employment or PNP route for various reasons, despite stiff requirements.

Also, if you look into posts here from those who are not happy with their job in Canada, but stick to it just for the sake of applying for PR (as for standard PR case with AE they must be working and keep work permit valid until PR is issued), you may agree that many may dump their jobs and jump into CEC which doesn't require being employed or even keep valid work permit at the time of application. Same with those who cannot extend their work permits anymore but want to apply (better late than never) for PR now.
I don't see a problem with filling up the quota, providing of course that CEC is implemented well before Summer ends.

Re: *** Canadian Experience Class update ***
I just received a CIC email invitation for input/suggestions about proposed CEC regulations that were published on August 9th. The consultation period is 15 days from that date.
Thus don't take anything for granted yet, at least until final version of Regulations is registered and published.

Timu, when the final regs come out from CIC they will be published in the Canada Gazette which publishes new Regulations now in force in the section called PART II which is published on every other Wednesday. So keep your eye on the Part II editions of the Canada Gazette. The ones we just read were in Part I which is for proposed regulations so that people can read them and contribute comments.

You will never get "a clear view" about anything from a politician.
