Who knows the draw might happen today. Keep the faith. It's been a while since I visited this forum. I feel so bad the draw didnt happen. I frequently used to visit this forum back when I started my journey in September 2019 and I was so addicted to this forum. I started my journey from 457 to 471 where I got ITA in February 2020. Am just waiting for my criminality to get passed ( Eligibility and Security passed). There were times I thought of giving up, but just remember why you started this whole process before u quit. FYI it took almost 5 to 6 months to get my ITA and wrote IELTS 3 times. So nothing is easy in life, keep pushing always.
I am at 470 and received OINP on july 29th, i just received my nomination just before last draw.
It is only the next 3-4 draws which will give a complete picture of what the scores will be in future. Lets not forget, the next draw will happen after a gap of 3/4 weeks which itself will increase the pool size for 471 and above. Now adding to that, the nominated PNPs and candidates with additional french points will definitely take time to get out of the pool. The next entrants after that will be the ones who would have already started learning French 6-7 months back and would slog to make it to CLB 7.
Ok so these people who started learning French 6 months back, will enter pool all at the same time and will all get clb 7? Even if it wants to go high it still cant go past 477,478 or so. Plus the amount of people who were seriously learning French 6 months back cannot be compared to the ones who will start now.
Guys I speak french very well sicne my childhood and I can assure that getting CLB7 in french in all subjects is very hard with the current TEF and TCF exams.I tried 3 times and each time I miss one if the 4 subjects and I know that many people faced the same issue during the past months. So rest assured you will not find many in the pool with this 50 points bonus.
I’d hate to point this out. But have we all forgotten last year around September or something.. it was literally all at the same time ... everyone’s got the magic combo of [CLB9 + a master degree + 3 years experience + under 30s] at the same time in a matter of one month time? Still quite unbelievable innit? Remember last time when the score rocketed up to 470+from 450+ Over a course of one month time? It never went down again.
I’d hate to point this out cruelly ... but truth and what wouldn’t sound very nice is: ‘guys u do need to plan ahead for things! And EE doesn’t wait for u.’ Never underestimate the speed how fast ppl can get those new magic combos done before u even realise... lol
True some ppl may say: ‘no no no, it won’t happen that fast, we will see a gradual trend.’ but buy it or not, it usually happens without giving u a trial to first get adapted to the new norm. In EE, things happen and things happen overnight. It’s like ur hair dropping, do u think u will realise when u drop only one or two? No! By the time u realise, half of ur head is already bald!

A sincere piece of advice is: do ur maximum plan for the worst and do not wait for signs to be shown in EE, that’d already be too late to take actions. Be faster than EE, always be one step ahead of policies. eventually, whether u need the french points or not. It’s better to relax and smile with the french points in ur hand than to panic and cry without those points. Obviously, above 470 now each point counts. Better safe than sorry.
I cant say that with conviction and neither can you say it with conviction that they wont. Hence, as i said in my first sentence, only the next 3-4 rounds will tell the impact of this change and then we will have some data points to debate.
We cannot debate on "unknowns" here. A few years back, people were content with IELTS CLB 9 at max because that gave them the right score to cross the line. Then, CLB 10 became the new normal and people found out ways to crack that as well. You can already scroll up and see how many posts today are on french and people are getting serious about it. So, i will not jump to conclusions on how soon can someone get to a level of proficiency in a language.
Hmmmm it’s going to be a long week or should I say two weeks. Whatever the case might be,IRCC is aware that being bilingual is an added advantage just like having a sibling who is a PR.
472 and above, do not panic. Getting French points if you are older will be useful too.
Let’s wait and see the what happens during the next 2 draws. Speculating helps no one.

Oh well, everyone can do or believe whatever pleases them. I am not an ircc employee. Just dishing out my own logical explanation. Even if score is 500, ircc will still have people to invite 
Haha haha , this thread is “ray of hope” and saying a CRS score of 500 hurts. Let’s just wait and see. I am on 478 and this thread is giving me serious palpitations by the minute and I can’t even stay away.
Let’s all remain hopeful !
With their buggy system and laggy response due to bureaucracy, I doubt there's even gonna be a draw next week as much as I hope so. We must PREPARE FOR THE WORST by increasing our score as much as possible, preferably over crs 500..
