Yes, but the whining is due to the perception that high scoring candidates are FSW. While there seems to be more CEC at 500+ scores (at least those high ones). A CEC only draw would not bring down scores much, if at all. The idea behind urging for a CEC draw is that CEC candidates are disadvantaged. This is proven untrue. Their main competitors are other CEC candidates, not FSWs. A CEC-only draw would hurt FSW candidates but would not help lower scoring CECs.

I can see an argument for a FSW+CEC only draw (no PNPs), because PNPs are taking a lot of spots at the moment, though I didn't see many people asking for that one. But there is zero logic for CEC only draw. The only reason is work permits expiring, but that should be handled outside of EE draws. (It is handled poorly, but that's another thing).
There is difference between FSW getting an 500 + score versus CEC getting 500+. For CEC, you just need a low skilled PGDM's and Tim Horton work experience. An FSW need to put so much hard work to achieve 540 + score.

We are in a similar situation but I will be trying to secure the condo before actaully arriving to Canada. However I will only use registered rental agencies, the safest way. I actually made few phone calls already and there is no problem to do that however they are asking for prove of employment etc. which is normal so for people who do not have a job yet it might be difficult.
I would not recommend signing a lease before viewing the unit after landing, consider booking an Airbnb for a month and then finding a place.

Some people were waiting for more than 4 months after their applications were approved, not sure when they got their PPR. Just keep an eye on your email account and keep checking the spam folder, it can come at any time.

Guys i’m exhausted. I've been engaging in express entry for almost 4 years and after being million times up and down in the pool, I stand with score of 510 which will be decreased by 5 points on 11th september. Whats your opinion on my situation? Is there any chance to be invited before losing points or even to be invited before upcoming changes in express entry?

To give you some kind of comfort, me and a lot of others are in the same situation, so you are not alone.

I'm sorry to tell you but the chances of receiving an ITA before your birthday or even in September are close to none, reason being the size of the draws. However, the possibility of you receiving an ITA by the year's end will be determined in September because we will see if the draws will pass the "feared" 2,500 threshold or not. If they do, then yes, you stand a chance.

Why? We know the place where we want to live and we will have an online live view of it so I know the state of the apartments and the whole neighbourhood :D

If you know it very well, then go ahead an sign. At times, online viewing could also be a scam. Unfortunately, its a lot in Canada given these low skilled PGDMs who have no way to make money start becoming con artists and you are the right target for them. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

There is a probability of being scammed that's why. I would once again recommend booking an Airbnb for 4-6 weeks initially.

I just secured a studio apartment in the Downtown Toronto area, moving in in 2 weeks, the rental process is very intense here I would say. Since I moved from the US, I have a job and my US credit history helped secure the apartment without paying anything more than the standard deposit. Landlords here call up your workplace HR and verify whether your job is legitimate, which is pretty crazy.
