Ray Of Hope-86th Draw

[smart_eagle]

What is this glitch that you are referring to?

Instead of starting background checks after eligibility is cleared, CIC started background checks alongside it. Essentially, they are trying to speed up the processing time to be able to clear the backlog faster. It is evident from seeing the PPR trends that CIC is trying to clear 2017 applications more aggressively this month.

Yes lots of people are coming in as you can see there are 2184 people came in 451-600 range from 21st feb to 8th march in 15 days.

That accounts to 143 people per day in the past we seen around 90-110 people per day included in this range. As the draw was expected on 7th march I think the score would have shooted to 448-450 if the draw had happend on 7th march as well.

Lots of people are now aware of express entry and canadian immigration. Canada is accepting more and more people news is spreading like fire. That is the reason more and more people are making profiles.

In 2015 and 2016 the average score was 470-480 and lots of people did not wanted to try there luck as they knew that the score is hard to achieve but as scores drop below 450 more and more people now are coming up and hanging in.

To go with CIC were conducting back to back draws in early part of 2017 with on avg 3800 ITAs per draw which rapidly pushed down the score. In april 2017 they conducted 3 back to back draws of 3800 ITAs which resulted in 413 score

I think CIC plans to push back to back draws to the later part of the year and wants to take the cream first. I think it's only 14,000 ITAs out of the planned 88,000 so far. They might pace up soon.

So here is my two bit..

CIC has established a target of 74,900 admissions through EE in 2018. Canada has now issued a total of 14,500 ITAs in 2018. It leaves us with around 60,000 ITAs to be issued this year. With 3000 candidates being invited every 2 weeks, we have 60,000/3000 = 20 rounds to go before CIC fulfill its target.

Now, its Calendar Week (CW) 12 next week which leaves us with 52-12 = 40 CWs in 2018. For 20 rounds we will have at least 40/20 = 2 week interval between successive draws based on the above target of CIC.

So it will all depend on the replenishment of 450's in the pool (I don't now the analysis of that) but the chances of back to back draws look slim to me !

Please do correct me if I have considered something wrong here... I am still a newbie here

My husband and I applied for EE on 23rd Feb. We are at 456. The cut off date says March 3rd. Does that mean anyone applied before March 3 can expect an ITA?

Yes, congratulations to you!!

 

[ajj123]

Yes, congratulations to you!!

Thank you for advance wishes. Will update the forum once we surely get an ITA. Seems like a close call at 456. We were sure the score will be hovering around 442 again.

Nobody knows how many ITAs they will issue

You forgot each ITA can have 3-4 people, so #of ITAs will be less.

74900 is the total target of EE not ITAs. Normally people here count 1.2 or 1.3 people landed per ITA.

Yes it was a surprise and not a pleasant one.

They are still trying to push people to opt for PnP route. I think after 31st March things will start to change.

Me and my husband applied for EE on 27th Feb with CRS 458, by when should we expect an ITA?

 

[Johnny Ghaddar]

I am confused...can you please elaborate ?

 

[perpetualROH]

74900 is the total target of EE not ITAs. Normally people here count 1.2 or 1.3 people landed per ITA.

So there is no real reason why CIC would conduct a back to back draw? Their target will be met with regular two week draws. And as everyone keeps mentioning the ITA count is low because of pending applications. So there is really no logical reason to expect increase in draw size or draw frequency?

Hi guys need your advice on this. please help.

can anyone help me interpret the IQAS assessment here:

COMPARATIVE LEVELS OF ACHIEVEMENT IN CANADA
The Bachelor of Business Studies degree generally compares to the completion of a three-year
Bachelor of Commerce degree with a focus in business studies.


The Post-Graduate Diploma generally compares to the completion of a Master of Business
Administration degree with a focus in human resource management.

Will this be considered as Masters or Dual degree??

years of education: 12+3+2=17

Not sure what to do now. Today’s draw was such a bummer! I’m at 451 and draw is making me feel lost. Do you guys think that next draw could be lower or is PNP the only way out ?

common im sure your profile was active less than three weeks. Think about others.
