Ray of Hope - 77th Draw

[abhishek_89]

74900/26 = 2880.77 ITA's bi-weekly

74,900 is the Federal Economic PR target and not the ITA target for 2018.

anyhow........the next draw is likely to be next wednesday right? and with 448 , i should expect an ita?

I would say: yes

My CRS is 435, got invitation on Aug 9. Submitted application on oct 13th. Got a rejection letter on 30th October citing reason that PCC is insufficient for my spouse as it does not cover her complete stay in Qatar. Managed to get a new PCC and raised CSE. Meanwhile, created new profile as well and Crs remains 435. Just wondering what future has in its store for me

We have the same issues. I guess we have to wait for new ITA. I was hoping today but that doesn't seem to be the case. Please check your PM. Good luck to us.

The targets announced today are the PR targets for 2018 and not the ITA targets.

ITA is sent to all in the Express Entry pool which includes Federal Economic (FSW, FST and CEC) and Provincial Nominee Program (only those through EE pool).

1 ITA gets converted to 0, 1 or 2 PR's.

How 0?
-ITA received is declined.
-No action on ITA, which causes it to expire after 90 days
-Submitted application and got refused/rejected

How 1?
-Single applicant submitted application after ITA and was approved

How 2?
-Primary applicant + dependant (spouse) submitted application after ITA and was approved.

So we cannot get an accurate ITA target as it depends on what happens throughout the year. This is the reason why the ITA counts are not constant throughout the year.

So the target is increasing that means more bigger size of draws. Do not forget PNP also counts 30-40% in EE

 

[JinandMango]

If I see an increase in a number of PNP nomination, does it mean there will be more 600+ in the pool and eventually bump up the CRS cut-off?

Thank you for your answer. This is very valuable information.

Would be nice if they show us some statistics for current year so we can compare.

Great news my friends, 310000 is big number too and those are PR target as @abhishek_89 is saying.
There is gradual increase which is important and be patience coz our turn is heading towards us, now we can expect ITA number's increasing from draw to draw

Here is all details: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2017-11-01.asp

PS: Congratulations to all PNP candidates for having an ITA, and good luck in your post-ITA!

Best of luck to everyone!

The focus is definitely on having more quota for PNP's which almost confirms 2018 is not going to have a draw with a CRS cut off below 400.

Why do you say that. Even though focus has increased on PNP, they will only get their ITAs from their own quota of 55k.
All im saying is that PNP ITAs will increase but so will the draw size as the target has increased for both FSW and PNP (3200+6000). These additional 3200 FSW immigrants will bring the crs down hopefully to below 400.

Whats your opinion ?

Best of luck

Federal economic targets are 75000
Pnp 55000

35-40% PNP comes from Express entry that means 25000 PNPs will be through express entry.

Which clearly gives us 100K people from EE. And if we go by stats of past yrs 1 ITA = 1.2 to 1.25 people. So it means there will be around 75-80K ITAs.

Now what happened in 2017 from may till now will not happen they have more ITA to be issued as they have leverage and they can send PR even if this year's quota is about to be completed overall things seem same as from 300 to 310 is not much however percentage for FSW FST AND CEC along with PNP have increase greatly this is definitely a good news

Sure, all you need is to forget about your children when immigrating. In reality the family size before EE was around 2.3 members (some do have spouse and kids which family of 3 or more).
With EE, that number was somewhere around 2.05
On the other hand, you have app. 25 % of wasted ITA you get more like 61k per year. (100k / 2.05)*1.25
