[zoexxy]

Only CEC applicants. However, the volume is quite significant. 3232. This and last week's draw Put together is more than 5k.

And the next draw is predicted to happen on April 1

Does anyone know how long it takes to receive the emails for these things?

The invite comes within 24 hours.

The positive aspect of this is that they issued over 3200 ITAs + 668 ITAs from last week. So, basically, they’re still doing ~3900 ITAs every 2 weeks. This is a great sign that they’re not slowing down due to COVID-19!

are people with PNP and CEC all in the same pool with us when they list the number of people in each of the score ranges? meaning do we share quota for each draw?

Can anyone answer my question: My OINP application is already Decision in Progress stage now, will I still receive an ITA? Or is my EE profile locked out from EE because I'm being processed under PNP? Thanks. I have 468 points.

Guys!

Draw just happened.
Only for CEC applicants
CRS: 467

good stuff. Think IRCC is possibly prioritizing inland applicants, making sure they receive PR ASAP and aren't asked to leave the country as they are anticipating mass layoffs.

It’s written that CEC were eligible but not only. I’m lost.

Looks like the PNP-only draw may have been a test-group for whatever new procedures they've implemented to address issues caused by the pandemic. Happy with those results they've gone ahead with a draw bringing the number of ITAs inline with previous. 668 PNP with today's 3232 is a 3900 ITA draw.

but that also means EE candidates will pile up? Someone I know just got his WES today, a week before the estimated time of WES, didn't delay at all before of COVID 19 as many people thought

As a matter of fact,

3232 + 668 = *exatcly* 3900 ITAs
