Guys. Not to disappoint anyone waiting for ITA.. does upcoming election and it's results will impact express entry as a whole? I followed Alberta election closely and the way Immigration hardliners won the election is kind of frustrating.. would there be a major change to express entry program once conservatives consolidate power?

There will be no big changes rules of Express entry but for sure CRS will go higher and they will reduce numbers of ITAs. And 99.99% conservatives will win this year.

Hope your right, my friend. To be honest, I wasn't expecting to get through in this last draw. I thought tie-brake would be somewhere between December and January. So, I was almost sure next draw would be my time. However, this very early november tie-break date really set off a red flag for me. Little afraid that new tie-break date will be earlier in January next time. To sum up, I am not sure of anything now.
See Nov or Dec doesn't matter much because the density of 450 people before 30 Jan is much lower than density of people above 450. It's so because a lot of those who submitted before 30 Jan would have gotten through already.


Think of it like this - three months of 450 candidates before Jan 30 us equivalent in magnitude to 1/1.5 month of candidates post Jan 30.

I would say there would be at most 80-100 only ahead of you. Don't worry you will get through next time for sure.

Hey what would you say for score of 447. I have Clb 10..cant increase more :(
Three options -
1. Wait for a jackpot in the form of a one week draw.
2. Wait for at least three months until Aug / Sep or may be longer for the CRS to go below 447 in the normal way.
3. Learn French and increase one or two CRS points

I am not sure of other ways as it depends upon your profile. If married, can your spouse increase points through IELTS?

Tks for the explanation. Very clear, as always. So, considering your math is correct and there are 100 candidates ahead of me, I have to hope that 451+ applicants' inflow remains under 232 per day. Is that right?

last year in January only 2750 people were invited per draw and in feb and March 3000 people were invited per draw that’s and there were 2 PNP draws where only 450 people per draw invited so to meet there goal they increase numbers of ITAs.

This year there goal is 80000 ITAs. They already sent 31250 ITAs. If they do draws with 2 week gap for the whole year there will be 16 miner draws.

16*3350=53600 ITAs
53600+31250= 84850 which is higher than there goal. So if they want to reach at there target than they do t need to increase there numbers of ITAs per draw.
The targets that have been published are for ADMISSIONS into Canada, not ITAs, that's why last year, although the target admissions level was ~75000, by December they had issued a whopping 89,800 ITAs
(https://www.cicnews.com/2018/12/canada-breaks-express-entry-invitation-record-and-drops-minimum-score-to-lowest-of-2018-1211628.html#gs.987gkz)

People reject ITAs for all sorts of reasons, and people are rejected in their applications as well.
If just 10% of people who are issued ITAs either reject them or denied; your 80000 ITA target in reality becomes 88,888 actual ITAs being issued, which means using your logic
88,888 - 31250 = 57638 / 16 = 3602 ITAs every 2 weeks, an increase on the 3,350 number

Thanks senior stakes!
So I am not in rush.. Just will be happy to get an ITA this year before I loose another 5 points. B'day on December 23. Learning French sounds painful and bugging spouse to score higher even more :p (with the crazy work schedules). So wondering whether to peace out for a while or choose my battles carefully :) But will be very disappointed I end up not getting an ITA at all this. I didn't expect myself to be in this spot especially after clb 10!

@SeniorStakes Buddy your math skills are just crazy! M not able to comprehend this pool distribution thing. Could you help me solve one riddle? With crs of 450 and submission on 28th march, do I and @DreamITA and @13nitinsharma get ITA in next draw?
Next two draws will be crucial and we'll definitely see CIC clearing the backlog of 450. The good part is, now the 450 score has been touched, it's just tie-breaker rule who will play a major role in next two draws.

If CIC keep continue with 3350 ITA's in the next two draws, then cut-off will remain at 450 and will be cleared too.

I created my profile on 29th April , current status was submitted and date submitted was apr 29. Crs is above the 450 mark. Havent got any email uptill now.

What does Data collection date: April 26th mean?

Your help would be appreciated

1. You'll get with 24 hours.
2. Data collection means: distribution of applicants in the pool as per their respective CRS.
Is it possible to get ITA even if the profile is submitted after the data collection date? If yes, then what is the importance of the Data collection date?
