There hasn´t been an update in the CIC Ministerial Instructions page, and it is usually done at 12:00 UTC.

Theyre at under half of their overall quota, so no, they haven't filled it already.

It seems like they like to do 2 draws a month. If they do one this week, that will be 2 draws this month. and if they do one next week, they can still manage 2 draws. I have stopped looking at the ministerial page altogether hah!

There were only a few draws that were done early in the day. Most of them were done on Friday night around 10-11 ET. Really hoping for a draw no matter what the cut off is. If there is no draw then points will go up even more. 7 weeks are left in 2015, I wonder how many draws will take place if any.

...plus we can discount the last 3 weeks of the year for Christmas holidays. So make that 5 weeks..
