Good luck to everyone, no need to speculate anymore, who knows what Canadian government wants to do. Stay positive, work on getting yous scores higher if you can, if not , just wait and eventually you will be in Canada.

488 it is for #39. Short by 13 ;D :D
 
Yeah i'm short too , sitting pretty at 474 again. That is frustrating, so much time and effort put in into this whole thing and without any results yet.


Determination — number of invitations

1. (1) For the purposes of paragraph 10.2(1)(b) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, the number of invitations that may be issued during the period beginning on July 27, 2016 and ending on July 28, 2016 is 755.

Required rank

(2) Foreign nationals who, on July 27, 2016 at 12:40:23 UTC, have been assigned a total of 488 points or more under the Comprehensive Ranking System that is set out in the Ministerial Instructions Respecting the Express Entry System, as published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on December 1, 2014 and as amended from time to time, occupy the rank required to be invited to make an application for permanent residence.
 
2016's quota for economic class is 160000, which is 20000 less compared with 2015 quota.

31000 ITA issued in 2015, so let's say an ITA corresponds to 6 new immigrants.

Per 39th draw, this year 16800 ITA have been issued, which means there are about 11000 ITA left. and there are 10 draws left if they keep the biweekly drawing, which means an average draw of 1100 people per round. So I don't even think the score will fall below 475 this year, not even mention international students are going to get more points from the system later this year, making it even harder for oversea applicants.

If I'm wrong, please point it out. I could really use some hope.
 
If they draw 1100 people every draw it will dip down to mid 470's, either way i'm just too frustrated.
 
The only way to get more points for me is to learn French and get CLB10 instead of 9 in IELTS. But by the time i;ll learn some French my score will go down by 6 points because of age. And i know nothing about French at all.
