10th Draw Fingers Crossed - Hopefully CRS points go below 450

[HB.Agenda2]

So far 9852 ITAs issued, Average score is 651 and an average of 1095 ITAs issued per draw
. Of the selections so far 50.29% already had job offers so scored above 600. So far minimum score for ITAs issued without a job is 453 (so about 2352 selections or 23.87% of total applicants). The lowest score including a job so far has been 735 which we say in the 4th draw (meaning person only had 135 points and the other 600 came from a job).

The data seems to suggest they are trying to keep it 50/50 i.e. those with jobs and those without jobs.

The huge criticism is the lack of consistency in the selection dates, i know they will make draws as and when they have capacity to process ITAs in the signalled turnaround time. Having said that they established a trend of 2 draws a month and yet May saw only one draw.

The main reason i think the process lacks credibility is the lack of transparency into the pool. They can publish data like number of applications, mean, median and mode. These will let us know if we are wasting our time or not. Combine the opaque pool and the inconsistent draw dates... and we have a system that i must admit i am slowly losing confidence in.

The least than can do is signal whether they are doing a draw on the Friday or not?

But in all fairness... its their system and their objective is to create a perfect society from a skills base perspective...so they can pretty much do what they want / have to and we wait in the wings hoping to get selected

very well said mate! it's the least organized immigration system amongst all the english speaking countries... nothing is known in advance... ITAs for scores like 735? 755?

every Friday hundreds of aspirants must be checking the CIC website for a draw hoping there is one... and then CIC goes..... ummmmm not this weekend!

damn! this is getting frustrating...

I am wondering why people are that much pessimistic without intensifying their mind on to the root of CRS points calculation, in fact I have gone through some calculation of CRS points to make sure that we holder of 300-350 CRS points have some justifiable chance to be selected, it goes like this for those average people without having Canadian experience/education...

There are maximum people could get under :

age factor (singly)= 110

education = 135 ( I excluded PHD holder since these guys could be in negligible number)

language = 105 ( CLB level 9 in two categories(31 points each) and level 8 (23 points each) in other two which is above normal level for non-native English speakers )

And under skill transferability, maximum 25 points on education and 25 points on overseas work experience with language CLB level 7 (bt below 9) on each category)

Now we could have total 110+135+105+25+25= 400 only, hence chances of those average people who do not have Canadian experience, education and nominations have better chance ahead if we secure 325-350 points. Pls suggest me if I am wrong.....

When would the last draw happen? Will it continue for some time in the next year too...?

What are the chances of getting selected in the pool for 300 points ?

No chance at all.

No chance at all.

Who knows it may happen. no one knows. anything can happen. even CIC may remove the point based invitation also. it is all politics.

If EE is removed, the question of points doesn't arise. As things stand, there is zero chance of anyone getting an ITA at 300 points.

I am waiting at 445.

Are there chances of getting ITA by this year end?

The lowest cut-off in the entire history of EE since Januray 2015 was 450.

Unfortunately, you will have to look into ways to improve your score, as 445 is highly unlikely to receive ITA in the near or medium term.

Thank you for the reply Andre_Smol.

I dont see any way I can increase my score! I have my Bachelors & Masters degree certified by WES, I have 9+ years of work experience. I am 35. Not married. My IELTS score is L-8,R-8,W-7.5,S-7.5 and I dont know French. Do you see any scope from where I can increase the points? Other than PNP/Job.

Please let me know.

Try for PNP to get additional 600 points. As you have already scored maximum (or near to max) in each category except age factor which can not be changed.

PNP is probably your best bet. just go through all the provinces and see if you qualify for one of them.

All the best!

I dont know how to go about for PNP exactly.

So far, the provinces that I have researched also have condition of job offer letter. Only Saskatchewan didn't have this condition but when this nomination opens/closes just don't come to know. Can you advice more on this PNP thing? Or share any other information you have to go about for this?

Thank you.
