There's no logic in expecting a draw today. One week gap draws have always had a reason - either a skipped draw before that or in anticipation of a skipped draw (such as just before the Christmas break). When IRCC is well on track for the target numbers for the year, there's no reason to expect a one-week gap draw.

Having said that, there's nothing predictable about this process. So who knows, maybe there will be a freak draw.

(The maintenance message is a bogus theory, so don't go by that).

Does anybody have an idea about the tech draws of Ontario? Is it likely that they conduct more tech draws this year? FSW AT 468.

Almost certainly between Aug, Sep and Oct, they'll conduct one tech draw and one priority occupations draw. Their target for the year is clearly defined (7,600 allocated and out of that, 4,482 invited so far), and they've been following a clear schedule despite covid. I expect around 1,000-1,200 tech invites and 700 priority occupations invites by October.

I am at CRS 474, NOC 2147, shall I be hopeful for a NOI if Ontario conducts a tech draw?

If it's part of the NOCs that are typically called, definitely be hopeful. But I think there's a chance those of us at 474 will get invited in August/September depending on how the FSW story plays out.
 
We (my wife and I) are waiting for the OINP tech draw as well. We are FSW with 467. Hoping that they would conduct few more tech draws as they have around 2000 left in the annual quota. :)
Hi, thanks for your inputs. Okay so this 2000 number is for the entire HCPS or its only for the tech category of HCPS,any idea? Thanks very much for the participation, hoping for us to be drawn out of the pool soon!! :)

Hi, thanks very much for the break up of numbers and the related information.

There is a logic reason to expect a draw: it's a 5 wednesday month. Historically, the majority of months with 5 wednesdays had B2B draws. Sure, not 100% of them, but the vast majority did. So, it's not absurd to predict the possibility of a draw today.
Yet, given COVID circumstances, no one knows for sure if it would be of IRCC best interests to do it now. But, to say there's not precedent to expect a B2B today is just wrong.
We'll see. If a B2B happens, i would expect it to be a FST one, since there's almost 1 year since the last one, and since FSTs are usually (way) smaller draws, it wouldn't affect too much the annual target.

If your primary NOC is under the list of targeted NOCs, then Yes you will get invite.
 
What is the minimum score required? I don't see score range to be eligible
