In November CIC issued only 4750 ITAs for FSW category. Isnt it the lowest ITA issued in a month in the whole of 2017. CRS is bound to increase??
If the new number of ITAs issued in the next draws is small and the periodicity of the draws is 2-3 weeks, then yes, the CRS cut off will increase. :(

Wow, you know numbers man! :D
What is the history of this? It sounds like the time was volatile and involved quite a bit of exchange.

As you can see in the follwing list, November wasn't the month with the least number of ITAs, in fact it was similar to the previous two months (Oct and Sep). In July CIC only issued 3200 ITAs to increase the cut-off. I think we will see a noticeable increase in the number of ITAs in January 2018.

I wish CIC would read this forum and see that the people who fight so hard and do so much research to get in are the ones who are missing the draws week after week. While those sitting in the high 400's seem to be ignorant towards the system and just breeze their way to PR.
I am generalising I know....
If only there was some acknowledgement of our persistence, like maybe 100 CRS points?:D:D:D
What a thought....:p:p:p
I require another 10 to 15 points :D:D:D
Cic do you hear this;)

At this stage I would be happy with 2 extra points...
and maybe a draw! doesn't help having points if theres no draws! hahaha
I want both..points as well as draw:D:D
Having a draw and falling short of points doesn't work waiting since Aug...
Praying for draw and drop in crs desperately...so that we all will be in
Can feel your pain guys....the ones who are waiting for long
Cic if you can't give me extra points come down to my crs..428:p:p

It is better to call on their toll free number. Although you can expect wait time of 30-45minutes before you get to talk to the executive. Make sure you keep the reference number handy.
Can anyone confirm me WES toll free number plz (can we use same if dialing from India) I got 18077881246 from Web but getting it as invalid.

I felt so down yesterday, but this article came in my mailbox and brightened up my day. Keep faith alive!
I think the reason why CIC is issuing lesser ITA in these last 2 months of the year is because they don't want way too many applications and documents piling up during their long holiday next month. Say CIC is taking good care of their employees and also avoiding long waiting time for all the PR applications, then it's better to wait for bigger draws starting after the festive holiday.
Just my logic to keep myself calm. Hope you all will find the article helpful :)
