Ray of Hope - 142nd Draw - PNP

[dyllee]

There are 4519 profiles with a score higher than 470 as of April 5.


This is against 2367 profile above 470 on March 13th, which shows more profiles are getting added and all our predictions of no new profiles and scores going down were not correct

Only ray of hope I can see is that influx rate is lower.

Like I said in the other thread, why would you expect number of new profiles to go down? Just because there are travel restrictions doesn't mean people can't create new profiles or update their profiles to reflect a higher CRS.

So, we should expect next week a draw for FSW in the range of 469-470 based on the results above?

There are 3821 profiles in the pool as of April 3rd after considering the PNP ITAs issued, so even if they conduct a common draw cut off will be above 471.
Moreover, I think the next draw will be again CEC just like last time

No FSW draw will happen, next draw will be CEC only as per the new pattern.

There is no pattern. It happened once and might not happen again! Pattern says that there will be a FSW+CEC draw this week or the following.

Difficulty with IELTS and WES was the reason for that, and everyone was optimistic about score coming down.
Hopes kind of down now at 468

There may not be a pattern yet, but there appears to possibly be a trend of not having FSW draws. That's the pattern people are concerned will develop.

Next draw will be CEC only I would bet my bottom dollar. FSW looks to be on hold.

I won't be surprise if on April 14th there's a CEC draw only with 3,000 ITA.

The difficulties will be reflected but not now, these are merely candidates who managed to increase their score prior to the pandemic restrictions or new applicants who were waiting for WES to finish their equivalencies. Wait for the pandemic effect to kick in, at least a month and a half.

Last two draws were PNP on Thursday and CEC on Monday and today's draw was PNP which is Thursday. Last FSW draw was on March 4th.

You are right, so I believe if its a normal draw that includes FSW, it will be in the range of 471-472. Sad...

Last two draws were PNP on Thursday and CEC on Monday and today's draw was PNP which is Thursday. Last FSW draw was on March 4th.

They were not two draws, it was one draw that was split into two sections and the numbers drawn clearly show it. And so is today, drawing 609 applicants is quiet a specific number, I’ll let you guess the number of the applicants of the second half of the draw. Be optimistic.

Doesn't that just mean they could be having a combined PNP and CEC draw every 2 weeks? Doesn't mean FSW stands a chance anymore.

I'm just copying an abstract from a discussion happening in one of our WhatsApp groups. These are my views:

Don't think there will be a draw for FSW or a general draw until the COVID-19 situation is solved.
Until then, expect inland draws.
And to clear everything here, PNP are nominating the ones who have a strong relation to the provinces, generally, they are either working in the province, or have an educational background there.
For example, Saskatchewan.
Their last draw had a cutoff score of 75, which is unattainable until you have a work experience in Saskatchewan, an education in Saskatchewan, or a close relative in Saskatchewan.
Only the close relative one works out for outland applicants. Otherwise, one can only have a maximum score of 70.

FSW draws on hold as priority is being given to CEC & PNP applicants.

We should not be too hopeful about FSW draws in the near future. IRCC is correct when it says EE draws are continuing as normal.
FSW aspirants will keep applying and GC will make money on every application. The aim is to get the best possible talent so even if the influx is high IRCC will increase the CRS cut-off to get applicants with higher scores.

Having said this i do hope i am terribly wrong.

My prediction for the next draw:

April 14/15 - General draw - 3,294 ITAs - 475 to 477.
