Damn it.

Wait couple months it will go up Hopefully :-\

Ha, only the lawyers and consultants say that to attract more clueless customers. There's absolutely no reasons for them to shoot up the ITAs, but so many reasons to lower it (Immigration Plan 2016).

470 is the new 450.

I dont understand how they find around 750 people with scores above 482 every 2 weeks..

Not that hard for some people. Single, 29 years old, with Bachelor degree, 1 year Canadian work exp, 2 years foreign work exp and CLB 10 can score 482. With master degree, it goes even higher.

Apparently these just the people cashing in their pnp since provincial government sold out thousands of them in first few month of the year.

Good think I'm neither of them . I think due to 25k Refugees and to clear the backlogs before 2015 they are doing this.

747 is the lowest ITA yet. This is as predicted/calculated by me using the rational I highlighted before.

According to my calculations, there were approximately 2938 non-PNP ITAs remaining with regard to 2016 visa targets, which divided between four draws in July and August works out to be 735 (PNP on top of that), representing approx. a 50/50 split between LMIA and scores below 600.

It is unlikely for scores to go below the 480s before the end of August it seems. This is frustrating news for many including myself sitting in the 470-480 range.

Then what's going to happen after August? cut off will dip down back to 470-480?

Last low score was February with 453. In May, the cut off were 534 and 484.

Have Patience. I know it sucks.

Yeah, I wish I could ask the expiration date of my PGWP to have patience as well.

You may be discouraged but I am kicking myself. I created my profile in March but made an error in calculations- I though that "two or more" degrees would be merely worth an extra 8 points and didn't get my second qualification assesed. I didn't realise that I would miss out on 25 points for skills transferability. By the time I got my second ECA with a score in the 470-480 range, I just missed the boat.

HAHA, I was in your shoes once, So i can understand the pain. Unfortunately we have to follow the system as it goes.
idk what else to tell you
