My New Book Is Out! | Tokens of Zeal

My new book is out!

Buy it! Buy it now!

That's right: In secret, on January 2 of this year I began writing a book of essays. Some of you may know that I have an online journal, which I created in the summer of 2003 when I was just 21 years old and have kept up with ever since. For my new book I went back to the journal and read through it, entry by entry, drawing out excerpts of interest that became conversation pieces for 81 various and sundry essays reflecting on my past life and past thoughts.

The essays are short, often very short. They are less challenging than my usual writing, I would say. My purpose was not to advance my personal frontier of philosophy and intellectual thought in 2024, or to reach a niche audience of deep thinkers, but instead to reflect sincerely on some things I've seen along the way and muse upon how my thoughts have changed and stayed the same over twenty years.

I mention this to you because I am a bit worried that anyone who reads this book might think there's not much to me as an author, and might be dissuaded from reading my works of fiction when those books eventually come out, so I'll lampshade that by adding that I wrote this book in two-and-a-half months. Make of that what you will. I told myself I wouldn't self-sabotage the book by needlessly saying negative things about it, and I am proud of it, not only the fact that I finished it at all, let alone so quickly, but of the actual contents too.

This book is "Volume 1" in a hypothetical series, as it doesn't cover the entire twenty years of the journal but only the first four months, from August to November of 2003—at which point the essays had reached "book length" (lol). So really this book is a snapshot of my life in the latter half of 2003. At that time, I was fading out of college due to financial hardship and other issues, and did not realize that I would never (as yet) return.

I have been wanting for years to go back and reread my journal, and writing a book out of it was the perfect impetus to finally do it. I think a few things stand out about the Josh of 2023:

First, my principles have remained remarkably consistent, but my awareness and understanding of the world has grown drastically, and so those same principles have led me over time to some different policy views and worldviews on some things.

Second, I was a 21-year-old arrogant block of cheese, full of hormones and self-conviction, and that definitely shows up at times in ways that I simultaneously am not proud of and yet which I admire for their sheer gall. There is something very magnetic about the old me which doesn't exist anymore.

Third, following up on that point, it was pretty inspiring and encouraging to revisit the old me, with all that native optimism and drive. I don't express those qualities anymore because life has worn me down and also because I have come to recognize that humanity's problems are a lot more stubborn and irremediable than I thought. By glimpsing into the past, I couldn't help but be cheered on by the old Josh's proud, utopian sense of human inevitability. It lifted my own spirits in the here and now!

I made the mistake of announcing the book on Patreon right after I finished writing it, i.e. back in mid-March. Then I had to wring my hands every week about how post-production was taking longer than expected. Between the irritating realities of formatting a book in software not properly equipped to format a book (never write a book in Google Docs), the complexities of my detail-oriented manner and strong vision regarding the cover design (and engaging for the first time ever with modern generative AI, and having to learn those ropes), and sustaining illnesses and other life priorities and so on, it would take me another two months in all to finally reach today, where I can now publicly declare:

The book is done! It is for sale right now. It is called:

Tokens of Zeal: Words from a Vanished Age

(Caption: Book front cover of Tokens of Zeal: Words from a Vanished Age, by Joshua Calars.)

You can buy it through Amazon in either paperback or e-book format. (I recommend the paperback version for aesthetics as it is much truer to my design vision for the book's layout and appearance, but my profit margin is actually a dollar bigger with the e-book version, so really just go with whichever version you prefer.) It is available in the US as well as in basically all the other countries that Amazon has expanded its publishing service into. If you need help finding a link to a particular version, give me a ping and I will point you there (if there is a "there" to be pointed to). This is my second published book, following Prelude to After The Hero in 2015, and the first book to be published in print.

If you do read it, first of all thank you! It's an honor that you would take the time. Second of all, I would love any feedback you care to offer. That's not a platitude either; feedback is hard to come by and I really would be interested in anything you have to say, good or bad. You can e-mail me, DM, reblog this, drop an ask, or tag me in an independent post. Whatever you like! Feedback will help me greatly when I eventually get around to writing Volume 2. And feel free to leave a review on Amazon, whether good or bad (though hopefully you enjoy the book); I am told it pleases The Algorithm. But most of all, if you enjoy the book, tell someone about it! Your word-of-mouth is currently 100 percent of my advertising budget, lol.

That's all. I wrote a book; it took four-and-a-half-months; it's done now; and it's the first time I've ever gotten to hold a book that I wrote in my hands as a physical thing, and that's pretty neat.

Canada Unveils Updated Immigration Levels Strategy for 2025-2027.

Canada’s economic immigration is set to decline by 30% compared to the figures outlined in previous Immigration Levels Plans. According to the 2024-2026 Plan, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada initially projected the admission of 301,250 economic immigrants in 2025. However, this figure has now been revised down to 232,150 for the same year. The Provincial Nominee Program has experienced the most significant reduction in numbers. In contrast, there remains a target of 82,980 for In-Canada Express Entry candidates, primarily to be fulfilled through the Canadian Experience Class

A Comparative Analysis of the 2024 Levels Against the Proposed 2025 to 2027 Levels

At first glance, the outlook for Express Entry, an economic immigration initiative, appears bleak.

The 2024-2026 Plan had initially set a target of 301,250 economic immigrants for 2025, but this has now been adjusted to 232,150, reflecting a nearly 30% reduction.

Upon closer examination, it becomes evident that a considerable portion of this decrease is attributed to the Provincial Nominee Program, which has seen its planned admissions drop from 120,000 to merely 55,000.

Express Passage Affirmations Anticipated to Increment in the 2025-2027 Levels Arrange:

Upon further examination, there is encouraging news for individuals seeking to shift from temporary to permanent residency, particularly regarding the In-Canada allocation and Economic Priorities allocation.

In the prior 2024-2026 Levels Arrange, the target for ‘Federal Tall Skilled’ affirmations was set at 117,500 for both 2025 and 2026.

The 2025-2027 Plan outlines targets of 82,980 for the In-Canada Focus (which includes the Canadian Experience Class) and 41,700 for ‘Federal Economic Priorities’ (which encompasses targeted draws for French speakers, healthcare professionals, and tradespeople). This results in a total allocation of 124,680, surpassing the previously announced levels. Outstandingly, the arranged levels for the In-Canada Center surpass the number of confirmations through the Canadian Involvement Course in 2023 and 2024, based on current data. This suggests that in 2025, we can expect a greater number of invitations to be issued to candidates with Canadian work experience compared to 2024 and 2023.

Understanding the 'In-Canada Focus':

For the first time, the immigration levels plan incorporates an In-Canada Focus aimed at easing the transition to permanent residency for individuals already residing in Canada as students and workers. The primary source for the 82,980 spots allocated to this category will be applicants in the Express Entry pool under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) program.

Considering that the average CEC applicant is single, if the majority of the 82,980 spots are allocated to CEC applicants, this would signify a substantial increase in the number of CEC applicants receiving Invitations to Apply (ITA). This is particularly noteworthy given that CEC applicants accounted for only one-third of all ITAs in 2024, approximately 40,000.

Forecast: A distribution for the Semi-Skilled Workers Pathway:

Regional Movement Pathways have been recognized as a potential source of confirmations inside the In-Canada center category. Consequently, the In-Canada focus may encompass the TEER 4 and TEER 5 (Semi-Skilled Worker) Pathway Program, which was initially announced in August 2024 but has yet to be implemented.

Should this program be activated, it would provide a valuable opportunity for semi-skilled workers who may not secure a Provincial nomination in 2025. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) have traditionally served as a favored route for temporary residents lacking a sufficiently high Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score to obtain an invitation through Express Entry.

A Shift in Category-Based Selection:

The Federal Economic Priorities category of the plan offers 41,700 available positions. While there has been no formal alteration to the categories targeted in category-based selection draws, the levels plan indicates that the priority categories for 2025 will include

Healthcare occupations,

Trade occupations, and

French-language proficiency.

Thus, it is reasonable to anticipate that only these three categories will be prioritized, with STEM, Transport, and Agriculture and agri-food occupations likely being excluded in 2025.

How will the allocation of the 41,700 positions be determined?

As of the end of October 2024, there have been a total of 32,225 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) issued across various categories:

French-language candidates seem to possibly get 26,396 of these positions in 2025.

Healthcare applicants comprised 22.5%, amounting to 7,200 invitations.

Trade applicants represented 14.2%, which corresponds to 4,575 invitations.

If we project these same proportions onto the 41,700 positions available for 2025, the distribution would be as follows:

French-language candidates seem possibly get 26,396 of these positions in 2025.

Healthcare applicants might be allocated 9,383 positions; and

Trade applicants could receive 5,921 positions.

This suggests that it is probable we will continue to observe category-based draws at similar intervals to those experienced this year, including irregular draws for trades and healthcare, along with approximately one French-language draw each month, and a strong likelihood of at least one significantly large French-language draw.

Esse India Immigration is pleased to inform you about the latest updates in Canada's Express Entry system, a key pathway for obtaining Canadian permanent residency. Recently, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued 3,300 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to candidates in the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) during the second Express Entry draw of the week.

To qualify for this round, candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 507. This draw followed a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)-only draw, where 1,121 candidates were invited with a minimum CRS score of 694. The BC PNP is one of the popular provincial nominee programs under Express Entry.

Earlier in August, IRCC held multiple Express Entry draws. On August 15, a category-based selection draw targeted French-speaking candidates, while on August 14, 3,200 Canadian Experience Class candidates were invited with a minimum score of 509. The draw on August 13 focused on PNP candidates, inviting 763 individuals with a minimum score of 690.

IRCC has established a pattern of holding multiple Express Entry draws every other week, with a heightened focus on PNP and CEC candidates. This is aligned with the department's goal to reduce the number of temporary residents in Canada while working towards meeting the permanent resident admissions targets outlined in the Immigration Levels Plan for 2024-2026.

Looking ahead, IRCC plans to welcome 110,770 newcomers through Express Entry in 2024 and 117,500 in 2025. Candidates receiving ITAs in the latter half of 2024 are likely to contribute to meeting the 2025 targets, as IRCC maintains a service standard of six months for processing finalized Express Entry applications.

Understanding Express Entry

Express Entry is Canada's application management system for three key economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class. Candidates in these programs are evaluated and ranked based on human capital factors using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Factors include occupation, work experience, age, education, language proficiency, and additional criteria like a spouse's qualifications or having a sibling in Canada. The combined score makes up the overall CRS score, and those with the highest scores are most likely to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residency.

In May 2023, IRCC announced the introduction of category-based rounds of invitations for Express Entry candidates who meet specific criteria, such as occupation or language abilities, which could align with Canada’s Global Talent Stream.

Australian PR Process

While Canada remains a popular destination, many individuals are also interested in the Australia PR process. Australia’s permanent residency process, or Australia PR procedure, involves several steps, including submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect, meeting the eligibility requirements, and obtaining the necessary points based on factors like age, work experience, and education. The PR process for Australia from India is similar, with specific requirements tailored to Indian applicants.

At Esse India Immigration, our expert Canada immigration consultants are well-versed in the Canadian PR process, including understanding the Canadian permanent residency requirements and navigating the Global Talent Stream. Additionally, we offer guidance on the Australia PR process, ensuring that you receive comprehensive support whether you're aiming for permanent residency in Canada or Australia. As leading Canada immigration consultants in India, we are committed to helping you achieve your immigration goals.

IRCC Invites More Candidates in Latest Express Entry Draw

Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has invited more candidates in the latest Express Entry draw of 2023. On August 15 the immigration department issued 4,300 invitations to apply (ITAs) to candidates in an all-program Express Entry draw. The minimum Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS) was 496.

Overview of recent Express Entry results

August 2nd

On the 2nd of August, IRCC held a category-based draw inviting candidates with French proficiency from the Express Entry pool. The department issued 800 ITAs to those with a minimum CRS score of 435. This was the first targeted draw for French speakers since July 12th.

August 1st

IRCC held an all-program Express Entry draw on August 1st, inviting 2,000 candidates from all three programs encompassed within the Express Entry system (the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Candidates with a minimum CRS was 517 were invited.

July 11th-12th

IRCC issued 3,800 (ITAs) for permanent residency (PR) on July 12th, under a category-based selection draw for French-speaking candidates. Candidates required a minimum CRS score of 375 to be invited. This was the lowest draw CRS score of any draw in the last month.

July 11th marked another all-program Express Entry draw. IRCC issued 800 ITAs to candidates with a minimum CRS score of 505.

July 4th-7th

This period was one of the busiest in Express Entry’s history, with four consecutive draws occurring in this period—a first for the immigration system.

On July 7th, Canada held a targeted Express Entry draw for candidates with French language proficiency. 2,300 candidates with a minimum CRS score of 439 were given ITAs through this draw.

On July 6th, IRCC conducted its second category-based Express Entry draw for healthcare workers. The department invited 1,500 healthcare professionals in the Express Entry pool, who had a minimum CRS of 463.

On July 5th the immigration department held its first-ever targeted draw for Science, Technology, Electronics, and Mathematics (STEM) workers. This round saw 500 ITAs issued to STEM professionals with a minimum CRS of 486.

On July 4th IRCC invited 800 candidates to apply for PR, in an all-program Express Entry draw. The minimum CRS score for this draw was 511.

June 27th–28th

June 28th marked the very first targeted category-based draw in Express Entry’s history. IRCC invited 500 candidates with work experience in healthcare professions to apply for PR. The minimum CRS score for this draw was 476.

June 27th saw another all-program Express Entry draw. The immigration department invited 4,300 candidates from all three Express Entry programs, with a minimum CRS score of 486.

What is Express Entry?

Express Entry is an immigration application management system, that manages the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Canadian Experience Class(CEC), and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). These three programs represent one of Canada’s most popular pathways for economic immigration into the country.

Candidates are assessed based on their human capital factors such as work experience, professional fields, language skills, education, and age. Based on these factors, a Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS) assigns a score and ranks these candidates. Those with the highest scores after a draw’s given cut-off date, have a higher probability of receiving invitations to apply (ITAs).

IRCC recently announced a new set of selection criteria on May 31st, emphasising specific professional and demographic attributes of candidates over just their CRS score. This gave rise to six new categories for Express Entry candidates: • Healthcare; • STEM professions; • Trades; • Transport; • Agriculture and agri-food; and • French-language proficiency.

These categories aim to fill urgent job openings in the Canadian workforce and promote the use of the French language outside Quebec.

CANADA IS IN NEED OF CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, INSTALLERS AND SERVICERS

FEDERAL EXPRESS ENTRY DRAW ON AUGUST 3, 2023 – SKILLED TRADE CATEGORY:

Canada held the first-ever EE draw for the Skilled Trade Category on August 3, 2023. Just imagine that the lowest cut-off was CRS 388 only even though only 1500 invitations were sent in this category-specific EE draw. We expect that the lowest cut-off will drop further in subsequent draws.

Candidates who had a minimum of 6-month work experience in one of the occupations listed in the Skilled Trade Category were selected if they had an active EE profile and met the requirements of any of the three EE programs, namely Federal Skilled Worker Program, Canadian Experience Class, and Federal Skilled Trade Program.

Therefore, even if you are living outside Canada anywhere in the world with experience in any of the identified occupations enlisted in the Skilled Trade Category, you may get priority to get invited.

The minimum language requirement in the first Language for Skilled Trade occupations falling under Tier 2 or 3 is CLB 5 for Canadian Experience Class if you have work experience in Canada.

If you live outside Canada, the minimum language requirement for Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is CLB 6 or 6 in each module in IELTS-general. Please note the applicant also must get 67 points out of 100 to meet the requirements for FSWP.

OINP’S EXPRESS ENTRY - SKILLED TRADE STREAM INVITATIONS ON AUGUST 3, 2023:

The province of Ontario also sent occupation-targeted letters of interest to candidates having a minimum of one-year experience in one or more occupations in these skilled trades in their active Express Entry profile.

The lowest cut-off was only CRS 250.

Express Entry Draw 316: Invitations Extended to PNP Candidates on October 7th.

On October 7, 2024, Canada extended invitations to 1,613 candidates who possessed an eligible provincial nomination to apply for permanent residency in Express Entry draw number 316.

Key Highlights for Express Entry Candidates:

Type of draw: Provincial Nominee Program

Invitations issued: 1,613

CRS score: 743

This recent PNP draw was anticipated, as there had been no PNP draws in Express Entry since September 9.

The significant number of invitations issued—1,613 in total—exceeds the PNP draw from September by over 600 invitations, which may account for the higher volume.

It is critical that the CRS score necessity for this draw was set at 743, stamping the most noteworthy cut-off score for a PNP-only draw in 2024 to date.

With this draw, the total number of Express Entry PNP draws in 2024 has reached nine, resulting in a cumulative total of 12,167 invitations issued across these draws.

The month to month breakdown of solicitations is as follows:

May: 2,985

June: 1,499

July: 3,275

August: 1,884

September: 911

From January to April, the IRCC invited PNP candidates through general draws. While the correct number of commonly chosen people welcomed amid these rounds is not accessible, measurements from the last mentioned half of 2023 demonstrate that, on normal, 55% of candidates welcomed in common draws held a common nomination.

What Can We Anticipate for the Remainder of October?

Considering that September experienced a relatively low volume of Express Entry draws, it is anticipated that October will be more active, with approximately 10,000 invitations expected to be issued. This suggests that an additional 8,500 invitations may still be distributed within this month.

We can foresee at least one draw for the Canadian Experience Class, in addition to a category-based draw. Furthermore, another Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw is likely to occur to compensate for the absence of such draws in September.

What Actions Should You Take if You Are Awaiting an ITA as an FSW Candidate?

The outlook for Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) candidates appears somewhat discouraging; however, it is important to note that options remain available.

FSW candidates continue to be considered under category-based draws, which often feature a lower Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) cut-off for those who qualify compared to general draws. These category-based draws necessitate specific work experience or proficiency in the French language.

For individuals with relevant work experience, the primary objective should be to enhance your CRS score wherever feasible. We provide valuable resources outlining the steps necessary to improve your CRS. It is also crucial to recognize that the targeted work experience for category-based draws will undergo changes in 2025, with the inclusion of occupations in education and natural resources.

For those whose work experience does not align with current targets, acquiring French language skills may be the most advantageous strategy. In 2023, 92% of individuals selected in draws based on French proficiency were candidates from the Federal Skilled Worker program. With a goal to increase the proportion of French-speaking immigrants to 8% of all newcomers by 2026, learning French now could significantly enhance your chances of receiving an ITA as an FSW applicant.

The CRS Score Prediction 2023:

There is no such trend that is set by the Canadian government for the Comprehensive Ranking System – CRS score. Only IRCC decides the minimum CRS score for each draw. From the draws that were held in January, if we predict that, the score will decrease in the further Express Entry draws, which can also tentatively change. Also, we cannot predict if it will increase. 

So, however, it is unpredictable that the CRS will decrease or increase, but we can get a rough idea of it. As per the 2021 trend, which is listed above it may decrease to 480. Furthermore, the CRS score in 2023, can even increase till 550. So, this is the assumption that the CRS score may increase or decrease, no one can predict it. It just depends on the visa application files that are in the Express Entry pool.

The CRS score in 2023 is very unpredictable, only IRCC decides the minimum CRS score for eligibility. So, to be eligible for the Express Entry draw you must try boosting your CRS score so that there is no chance of not getting selected in the Express Entry draw.

In The Most Recent Draw, The Express Entry CRS Score Dropped To 496.

The CRS has not dropped below 500 in an all-program draw since December 2020.

On October 26, Canada held its most recent all-program Express Entry draw.

This is the ninth draw since all program draws were resumed on July 6.

Invitations were sent to 4,750 candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 496. Candidates from the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class may receive invitations to apply (CEC). These programs all utilize the Express Entry architecture.

Canada Express Entry Points Calculator

Beginning in December 2020, all Express Entry program draws were suspended for a period of more than 18 months. Throughout the hiatus, invitations to apply were only sent to those who qualified for the CEC or the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) (ITAs). The draws had to be postponed due to a surplus of applications brought on by restrictions on travel caused by the coronavirus. In September 2021, the IRCC also stopped holding lotteries for the CEC.

Express Entry Latest Draw:

The CRS has never dropped below 500 since drawings resumed before this draw. The previous time the score fell to this low was on December 23, 2020, when it was 468. After that draw, all-program Express Entry draws were suspended to avoid adding to the backlog of applications for Canada permanent residence.

It is clear from the eight previous drawings that IRCC can issue more ITAs by lowering the CRS score because the number of candidates rose while the number of applicants continuously decreased.

Immigration Levels Plan 2023-2025 is scheduled to be implemented soon.

The Immigration and Refugee Council of Canada (IRCC) releases a new plan year each year that details the goal number of immigrants that Canada wishes to receive over the following three years. The statistics are further divided into categories of immigrants and programs that are linked. By 2022, the Immigration Levels Plan sought to add 55,900 new permanent residents to Canada through Express Entry Canada. Up until now, Canada has accepted slightly more than 28,000 new Canadian permanent residents through its Express Entry programs between January and August 31. Another Immigration Levels Plan is anticipated to be delivered by November 1 of this year.

What is Canada Express Entry?

The Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) all use Express Entry Canada as their candidate for the board structure. The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is currently eligible for anything akin to one of these schemes in the Express Entry pool.

The profiles of candidates are ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), a point-based system used by Canada Express Entry. The Invitation to Apply (ITA) is extended to the candidates who scored the highest; following that, they may submit an application for permanent residence in Canada.

Alberta PNP Points Calculator

Once the applicant submits the application, an IRCC representative reviews it and determines whether to sponsor the applicant. If this is successful, the applicant will then be a permanent resident of Canada and will have taken a step toward attaining Canadian citizenship.

Statistics Canada recently released the “Immigration Selection Factors and the Earnings of Principal Applicants” study, an update of the 2015 investigation that had a substantial influence on the creation of the Comprehensive Ranking System.

Canada PR Points Calculator

The study examined the variables that had the greatest short-, medium, and long-term impacts on the incomes of newly arrived permanent residents of Canada. It was shown that education, prior work experience, and language ability continued to be important determining variables. The most significant influence on a person’s attitude toward their financial status was found to be employment experience prior to landing, particularly that acquired in Canada.

It is anticipated that the upcoming Express Entry Draw would take place on November 9, 2022.
