Its strange to see the cut-off boosted back in early 460s, even after a back-to-back draw. Anyways, many congratulations to the ITA receivers.

PNP guys... =/

And I hate to be bearer of bad news.... we should expect FST draw next or after. The two previous draws gave just false hopes!

DAMN!! Looks like they're trying to keep the scores at 460s.

Congrats to those who made it!!

Guys a small discussion prompt - "If IRCC is deliberately trying to keep CRS around 460 (maybe to allow provinces to make more money via PNPs) then how long can they sustain?"

Will this inflation die out eventually as 458+ applications dry up?
Or will enough people keep increasing their CRS scores by hook or crook to keep pushing the cut-off upwards?

I understand this is very speculative. But maybe some experienced guys can shed light?

Next draw there'll be a sharp decrease and it could even be around 454/455. MARK MY WORDS!

ITA'S INCREASE FROM OCTOBER AS CIC SEEMS TO BE DELAYING INCREASE BY A MONTH.

Based on the pool distribution about 4000 people over 451+ are remaining after this draw. I guess this is good news.

good draw. i like the score.

This was a really unexpected draw outcome, however lets be positive and hope for the score to drop in the upcoming draws.. This might have been higher due to the PNP guys..

Guys, this score was expected as I mentioned earlier as well. It's not that Ontario is approving applications, but there are other factors involved in high CRS this time.

1. Alberta issued 121 Notifications of Interest, which took place August 15 (few approvals from there)
2. Ontario approvals are also considered (even if there were few but they're part of this draw too)
3. New addition of applications to CRS (it's higher than before these days)
4. Last draw happened on Tuesday, so even a single day of gap this time, can push the score up
5. Finally, improvements by existing applicants to their scores (be it increasing IELTS score, or new ECA update)

LOL. This is what you had mentioned.

PREDICTION FOR TODAY:

ITA’s : 3,600 OR 3,750
CRS: 458-460

ITA’s: 3,900
CRS: 456-458

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Many congratulations for all who received ITAs. Rest never lose hope. One back to back draw could change many things.
