Druggie let me school you. CSME covered university graduates, media workers, artistes and musicians and supervisory workers.  Nurses and teachers also fell within this category.  This was implemented in 2006. AFTER Guyanese had already begun to flee. In fact this was AFTER Barbados ordered the removal of Guyanese.

The pile up of Guyanese in the Caribbean began after 2000 when the Guyana economy began to slow and when Guyanese were forced to flee to the Islands to find decent work.  Clerical workers from Guyana could make three times as much to be baby sitters in Barbados. Teachers in Barbados were earning 7X as much as they did in Guyana.

Now scream that tourism pays so well that Guyanese couldn't help but work in it.  Druggie if Guyana doesn't have a tourist industry how would they have acquired the experience to fit into those categories?  The Guyanese working in tourism were the unskilled ones, because it is only the unskilled who are hired without having experience specific to tourism.

Unskilled workers who have vocational training weren't covered until 2009.  This because these categories of workers were the largest group migrating within CARICOM.  It was felt that the CSME was elitist and so this group was added.  This was insisted upon by Jagdeo and the PM of St Vincent given that Guyanese in particular faced discriminatory treatment at CARICOM airports.

Druggie don't bite off more than you can chew. Don't discuss topics that you know not because I will gobble you up and then spit you out and flush you down the garbage chute.

Now that I school you, you retroactively trying to fill your knowledge gap via google and wikipedia.   Now you bobbing and weaving about professional vs unskilled, trying to bend CSME to justify your erroneous arguments. Next class at 6pm sharp, don't be late or you will get a demerit.   

Why don't you rebut my points if you are this expert on CSME?  Start with the fact that CSME began AFTER most Guyanese  had already left for Barbados and elsewhere and AFTER Barbados had tossed out thousands of Guyanese,

Then explain why in the initial period CSME focused on professionals and Management types and rather than benefitting from this free movement Guyana lost THOUSANDS of its best and brightest?

Why couldn't Guyana attract professionals from Jamaica and St Lucia and Grenada?

You scream that tourism is what made Guyanese migrate to the islands.

Druggie tell me how many Guyanese professionals and manager level people have the expertise in tourism to allow them to obtain jobs in Barbados and Antigua.

Druggie most of the Guyanese who benefitted from CSME were teachers and nurses.

Druggie why didn't Guyana ATTRACT teachers and nurses from St Vincent and Dominica?

You don't know so you schooled NO ONE.
