If there are more than 3350 applicants entering the pool every two weeks with a score of 445 and above, I doubt the CIC will need do a back to back draw cos they are hitting their targets even with a cutoff of 450+? So basically, no hope for 445-449 this year... ?
Could you please explain how they are hitting their target which is 81400 for 2019 with a cutt-off 450+....
Are you assuming target=ITAs issued ???
Or in what % do you think ITAs would be declined

The thing with targets is that you can achieve the target in multiple ways.

If CIC wants to have more applications in the earlier part of the year, they might invite more now and reduce the ITA count later. So, it totally depends on how they want to split the yearly invites.

As mentioned in my post, with 3350 ITAs and bi-weekly draws the cut off would decrease and settle around the 446-449 range.

If my friend got 454 in the system base on 2 years work experience. However his real 2 years work experience is March 29, 2019 , can he take this invitation and submit everything after March 29?

Thanks
YES
Need to apply exactly after the period has elapsed as they will compare your score at ITA and at e-Apr and will use the higher score

I am loosing interest man
I am stuck at 450 since Jan 30.
which was considered as safe bet.
There's a strong chance that you will get thru in #114. I'm pretty confident about it.

I feel the there is higher probability of 449 or 450 CRS with the existing for data for April 3rd draw fro 3350 inviations

3350= 449/450

Once it comes down below 450 , it will sustain.

In all likely there is a chance of B2B in the month of April or else there will be an increase in Invitations,

At 451, I submitted my application on 2 Feb so I am almost, in fact little less than, one point away. At an implied speed of 5 applications per point per day, there should be 5 x 49 = ~250 candidates ahead of me.

If the 451+ speed from now until the next draw turns out to be 220 per day or less, I'll be through. The speed was 211 from 28 Feb to 14 Mar so can go beyond 220 too. It seems I am again borderline case.

Question: why have they not been taking more people in? What are the chances of increasing number of invites? Please advise.
