But why do you think ITAs will hover in that range rather than going down? If 70k ITA are to be issued, wont the # of ITAs taper off to half that level over the next few months?

Immime2017, I read all your posts here, and I must say that I am very impressed by : 1) coming up with a statistical framework to predict a number rather than rely on hunches. 2) putting your reputation on stake by predicting a number more than a week in advance. ( this takes guts ) 3)...

Got my IELTS today, I really hope WES sends me my ECA report soon so I may get in before the next draw. At 434 CRS I am right at the border :P

Re: Why should we expect score to go down? Turns out I was at least partially correct! CRS has gone up a notch. But then ITA is still high, contrary to what I thought.

Re: Why should we expect score to go down? from 2016 to 2017, economic migration target ( FSW +FST +CIC ) has been raised from 58,400 to 71,700, about 25% Now ITAs have been increased two-fold between the period of Jan to April in 2016 and 2017. In my opinion, the increase in ITAs is not...

Why should we expect score to go down? Seniors, 2016 saw a total of 33,782 ITAs being issued. This year in the first 10 draws within first 4 months, we have already seen 35,000+ ITAs. Why would the number of ITAs in subsequent rounds not go down? If I look it from a data perspective, I would...

Just checked my 401 report, it doesnt have a column for vesting! but then I am 100% vested, so maybe that's the reason.

Thanks for the quick reply tomneversfield! I have sufficient funds in my non-401(k) stocks as well, but I have read on this forum that stocks might not be considered eligible as proof of funds. I am reluctant to liquidate my stocks only on rumors, so most likely will just send these ar proof of...

I sort of agree. But then with 1200 million people, even if you take just the top 1% as skilled labor that have the right attributes to migrate, you get a potential immigrant size of 12million! Canada's entire population is 36mm, almost the same as California.

tomneversfield, what did IRCC think about your 401(k) ? did they accept that number or did they requested additional proof?

Out of curiosity how is US work experience viewed in Canada? How about US degrees? Is is still considered inferior non-canadian experience or is actually more valuable than a Canadian work ex.?
