Indeed a rude shock for a lot of people

 

[catalyst441]

Who are these people? Where do they come from?

 

[maitredufoot]

In the other hand, hopefully three draws this month might take the CRS score to 439-441

Who are these people? Where do they come from?

Maybe it is because TEF tests results came out on Sep 21st. So all the french speaking candidates like me that were waiting since end of July were able to enter the pool 2 weeks ago.

As Sep 19 draw had cut-off of 441 with tie-break on Sep 6. So can safely assume that almost all 441s were cleared except maybe 15-20. Now as per the pool distribution provided as on Sep 27, number above 440 was 253+1296+673 = 2222. So rate of entry above 440 was 2222/8 = 278, which is quite high but not unheard of.
At the same rate, number above 440 today should have been 278*14 = 3890. So with draw size of 3900, cut-off should have been 440 or maximum 441 which everyone also expected.
So, what the hell happened between Sep 27 and today? Anyone has any clue?
