You might be correct but I personally know a few people around me who have either applied for Canadian PR or have already received their PR but never knew about this forum. However, what the non-activeness of this particular thread may mean is that on this forum, the number of people with CRS...

That makes perfect sense but we should also keep in mind that not all active candidates from the EE pool are in this forum as well. I would say that not more than 10% of active candidates from the pool would be active in this forum as well, so it doesn't give us the exact picture.

I already did :)

Well said

I really hope what you say comes true and going by the current trends it should happen in all likelihood. However, when we are talking of scores below 450 we are talking about a completely uncharted territory as nobody with a core CRS of below 450 has ever received an ITA in the history of EE...

I so want to hop on to that Received ITA on.... thread but am sure gonna stick around on the ray of hope threads as well even after receiving the coveted ITA, sharing my thoughts and experience with all future candidates. Cheers!!

How about a +1 for that ;D ;)

Drawing every week could actually be a good idea, if they draw 1500 every week instead of 3000 every alternate week. That would at least keep the forum alive and give us something to discuss every week. :D

A draw tomorrow doesn't seem very likely. IMO, the reason why there was a draw on 11th was that CIC wanted to have three draws in the month of January. They had the option of drawing on 4th, 18th and 25th or 4th, 11th and 25th. If they draw tomorrow, then the next draw would be on 1st February...

Well, lets just say that even if there is a remote chance that your application gets through despite the 'misrepresentation' yet you would have to spend numerous sleepless nights under the fear of getting rejected...I say follow the correct path. All the best!!

It is extremely interesting to read the last few comments on this thread, which were written not so long ago when the cutoff scores were in the range of 470+. Let us keep the hope alive people. Our days will surely come...cheers!!

Although there is absolutely no doubt that this is a dubious website, however, I like to read their posts once in a while just to give myself a good laugh. The posts are so closely related to the discussions taking place in this forum...particularly on the ray of hope threads (they have even...

Although what you have said makes perfect sense, but I would like to reiterate that whether the scores come down further or not depends on the number of ITAs being issued. If the ITAs remain at 2500+ for a few more draws then the cut-off scores are bound to come down even if we have a steady...

I completely agree with your statement that anybody having core CRS of 400+ is a good prospect. However, I'm not sure if they can keep drawing 3000+ candidates in each draw. The 2017 immigration targets are for around 71000 PRs. If we assume that 80% of those candidates will come through EE...

Good luck! I am at 447 as well and am sure we'll both receive our ITAs on the same day (hopefully before mid-March). It would be a well-deserved birthday gift for you :)

The best advice at this time would be to just forget about ITA in order to overcome the anxiety. However, it's easier said than done. I am at 447 and until yesterday a direct ITA seemed like a distant dream but now I can see a real chance within the next 2-3 draws, so I can imagine how you must...

Precisely, but till then let us keep this ray of hope alive and spread some positivity :)

IMO, holding back the number of ITAs at 450 CRS would mean no more draws of 1000+ ITAs February onwards, which seems unlikely. I think they will go till at least 430 and maybe then look at holding back the number of ITAs. That way, they will leave enough candidates for OINP nominations and also...

Totally agree. Let us assume that average number of PRs with each ITA is 2. In that case there would be around 36000 ITAs in 2017. Assuming 25 draws in the year, it comes out to around 1500 ITAs per draw, so if we are witnessing 3000+ ITAs during the starting few months then the number of...
