I think, there is an inherent problem in design of EE, which is shaping the outcome and frequency of draws. The problem is having to grab whole group of applicants sitting at specific score. I do not believe they have any reason to stop at 450 or any other score, it's just that there are so many...

Thanks for explanation.

Hi, I'm hearing a lot about PNP, but I'm not sure I understand correctly how it works. 1. What happens if I accept PNP application, and then the EE minimal CRS drops and I become eligible for main pool EE entrance? Will I still be in the EE pool and receive my PR from there? Or am I out of the...

In the page of each NOC see the list of main duties. Count how many of those matches with your work experience. Compare the percentage of matching work duties between those 2 NOCs. Go with the higher percentage. If percentage is similar - then choose any of those 2.

You are absolutely wrong. Only the best of us will get ITA. Sorry for the harsh truth.

May I delve into the depths of your wisdom? What is a probability to flip tails on a 100-th coin flip, if first 99 were heads?

Could anyone provide a link to the mentioned news? I'm curious to read about that.

Well, that brings some hope for 2016. However, given the exponential distribution of applicants in the queue, I would say that there is a fat chance that the CRS requirement will never go lower than 400 even in 2016.

Let's hope "the times when CRS fell to 450" won't become a thing of legends.

Hm, I'm in the same boat, are you guys sure that having 2 full-time occupations is impossible? I mean, I have a verified diploma and payslips from my job and everything. My job work hours are pretty flexible (working after studies and at weekends for 40 hour/week total), that's what allowed me...

As they say: "Hope for the best but prepare for the worst".

There are always ways: 1. Maximize IELTS score: take english courses, IELTS preparation courses, retake the test several times, and you could go 5-10 points up in the queue easily. 2. Take French lessons: I'm currently trying to do this (have a full year till I am eligible for application...

Well, actually I believe this is quite fair. They are allowing you to get 2 PRs for the cost and hassle of one, they are also allowing the second person be not qualified for EE at all (low english marks, low education, etc.) as long as primary applicant has mere ~20 additional points to cover...

My wife worked in a ministry for some time. The month the minister changed, half of the staff changed too. However, that could be linked to corruption in my country, as people started pushing their relatives to take steal those jobs. I really hope corruption is not that bad in Canada.

There are two possibilities: 1. EE system is dependent on the government. I mean, if it requires some kinds of reviews of each applicant, signatures of higher-ups, etc. etc. 2. EE system is fully separated from the government, and they only supply each other some kinds of regulations and...

I do not agree with you on the first part - immigration process is not dependent on the government. It's not like PM has to sign each immigrant's application, or something. As about the second thought, I partially agree. Not because Liberals are immigrant-friendly (they are friendly towards the...

Source? Really? Why, what changed? No, the requirements are almost done, it was discussed and explained multiple times in different threads, the requirements are not that easy to calculate and estimate against as you think. It was proven by some member of the forum that they can easily...

I wouldn't be surprised by score of 449 :D

Meh, not this year. Looking at the latest CRS cutoffs, it is obvious they are artificially cutting it off at ~450. Damn, look at those scores, delays are random as hell (sometimes 1 week, sometimes 2, sometimes 3 weeks, etc.) but the score stays constantly at 450-460, and ITA count stays...

Seems to me, that unless there are some changes in express entry system, CRS will not drop below 450. Here's my reason to believe that (http://i.imgur.com/4MqdAQz.jpg): You can see, that no matter what is the delay between draws, the score is stabilized and artificially fixed onto score 450.
