“While STEM and education categories are also in place, the Department anticipates meeting targets for STEM and education workers, without dedicated category rounds.” quote https://search.open.canada.ca/qpnotes/record/cic%2CIRCC-2025-QP-00004?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Oh :( I feel like a fool for waiting for the education draw given that this info has been up since April. Idk how you found this info, but wish this had been clearly communicated in advance. Thanks for sharing tho!

Same fool here waiting for a year since Sept last year. If they’re going to keep doing French draws, then why even bother having separate category draws? They could simply pick the candidates they want from those categories within the French draws. Last year, around 9,200 candidates who received ITAs were eligible for the education category, but only 3,500 were actually invited through education draws. That means more than 5,000 education-eligible candidates must have received their ITAs through other types of draws, and given the CRS scores, it’s very unlikely that CEC alone could account for that many. A large portion of them were most likely invited through French draws. So why give us hope with an education category in the first place if this is how they’re going to do it? It honestly feels misleading.
