Will there be a draw this Friday ? I'm very certain the score will defiantly drop to at least 448

I hope there is a draw this friday and score falls down to 445.
 
Guys, I think next draw will be held on October 2, Friday and cutoff point will be 450+ again. But my assumption within 2015 cutoff point dropped to 435.

Guys, have patience and stick with it and try to get nomination, open your eyes on every province website when they open the stream, it's easy to increase your points.

For me, my EE point was 331, and I opened my EE profile on 27/06/2015 and I applied for SINP on 06/07/2015 and I got nomination on 25/09/2015. I am expecting I will get ITA on next draw.

All the best for all!!

Well Rafzy...m hoping the same..... ;D
 
There are less chances of a draw on 2nd October. All the draws have taken place in second week and not between 1st and 7th of the month. Still lets hope for the draw.
 
I hope the score drops to 440 this month, in either the 18th or 19th Draw.

That is the shitty part.. if there was a pick every two weeks, then score would easily drop below 450. But it seems they are manipulating the score by making the pics extremely erratic. Remember the long break after the ITAs on April 28th? That was so that the threshhold didn't fall below 450..

It's not manipulation - it's the point of the system. If the score drops too fast, there's no real reason for the points at all.

manipulation is on the draw dates. They know the point distribution in the pool. If they don't see more than ~1500 people with >450 points, they skip a week.

The rules they made mandated them to draw everyone about the draw score, but not the draw dates and size of each draw.

Again, that's by design. They can't control how many apply, so they pick the size of the applicant pool, and a rough target score, then delay the date until they can meet their overall goals. That's math, not manipulation.
 
hey guys the draw has been done i got invited this morning. 700 points good luck to everyone hope we all make it.

I think its a bit of both math and manipulation. If it was purely math, they would set the parameters in their program (draw every 2 weeks, no matter what; or draw only people above 450; or draw only 1500 people) but it isn't purely math because they keep changing the parameters to get the outcome they want. Now, reading your past posts on topics such as this, I know you will come back strong and angry, so let me just agree with you before you even point it out that yes, it is their right to do so and yes, PR is a privilege not a right, bla bla bla.. Bottom line is, they manipulate the formulas to control the outcome of the draw.

Either submit your application after 1st November or decline this ITA and wait for another. You will always be invited under FSW as long as you qualify for both FSW and CEC.
