Nope buddy... they clearly mentioned its ITA target, NOT PR.Agree with you..
more over, the less ITAs in second half of last year means less PR files processed in 2018 from last year.
We need to understand one thing, the Quota is for PRs and not the ITAs.. I believe, CRS will eventually come down..
As many suggested, next draw might invite 3750 or 4000
Hope for best and good luck all..
They know rejection rate and average dependents per application, accordingly they have set ITA target to meet their immigration demands.
But I would like myself to be wrong. We need PR btw
