It will come down below 300
There is a FSW cap of 25k in 2014 and apllicants are only 12k.
2015 FSW cap is 51k and all applicants are going to get the ITA
Total ITA issued is little above 3000
But this include invitations to all categories
First & Second draw (Cutoff score upto 818) - All categories got inivited. Altogether 1600 ITAs
Third & Fourth draw (Cutoff score upto 735) - Only for Canadian canadian Experienced class invited
FSW ITAs...
Yes, 2014 information is right.
This year also, 2015 expecting there will be not enough applicants to reach the quota
So almost all applicants in the EE pool will get ITA for 2015.
You can add 10 points with your spouse ECA done.
But your present score 356 is good enough and will get ITA soon.
Don't waste 500$ for ECA done with spouse education
There will be 51000 ITA allocated for FSW this year 2015.
Less than 600 ITA's issued for FSW category till date
All FSW applicants are range between 300 - 400 points. ...(they don't have 80 points for Canadian experience)
My NOC 2171
