This is somewhere related to having draws.

First of all, that's excellent news for all of us who haven't received an ITA yet..

I agree with you fatani:

* there will be more consecutive draws and an icreased number of ITA's
* the scores will go down
* eventually there will be changes for applications

If it's 60%, then scores will drop big time, 350-400 will be normal i guess then

Why do you think it'll drop that much? This year the target is 300k, and next year 310k.

And even now it is around 60% (172k/57% exactly). And it's just 10k increase from 2017 which means 6k for economic, and 4k or so for direct ITA (excluding PNP s). That's barely worth a draw or two and not significant enough to demonstrate any change to cutoff.

Also the program is growing popular, so more people will be applying.

Deepcur canadian immigration was always popular that is why there was pre EE backlog. I agree on your point that there is only a difference of 10K but as we can see early this year the ITA numbers per draw were huge and there were frequent draws but after june changes the ITA reduced by 1000 per avg that is why score stuck in 430s if they had been giving 3600-3700 ITAs per draw the scores would have been around 410s-420s. Which I can expect the scores to go around in next yr.
 
it's all dependent on number of ITAs issued per draw. if more families apply then the cut off will remain high as they consider the dependents as well while looking at an applicant.

let's wait and see how the trend goes.

Would they not have reduced the ITAs post June because they feel that's sufficient to meet 2017 quota? I believe the numbers for all draws must have been planned much ahead so that they meet year end quota comfortably?

Regarding number of applications.. true that it's already popular. But anyways there would be natural year on year surge by some percentage anyways isn't it..
