It is really disappointing especially for the ones stuck at 440.

So why the sudden drop in number of invitations? 3,900 to 3,500. This is strange especially considering that it increased to 3,900 from 3,750 in the last draw.

It has to be deliberate.

A subtle way for CIC to communicate the ones below 440 to either look out for other options or F*** off!

Many people are just tired. I would say the majority. Some others are busy improving scores. People like me at 438 since Q4 last year were 100% sure ITA would easily come and yet here we are almost 1 year later and the score would not drop below 440s.

Agree.........Even WhatsApp / Telegram Groups are silent, no one even posting draw details

For me It is a clear message that 1) will remain the same 3500 until the end of the year. 2) they are not desperate for candidates like last year 3) those of us below 438 can say bye bye to ITA in 2018.

Thet are messing around with us now .Reduced ITAs to 3500 where people were hoping for back to back draws or 3 draws in September .Unbelievable .I was hoping it would be 440 atleast . They saw there was no other option so they reduced otherwise the cut off would have dropped .

Seems like forever at 438 .I guess need to apply for IELTS for those 3 points now
