[TrackIT]

They r doing this on purpose i guess. Keeping the invites at a range of 700-750, in order to handle the higher volume of applicants after fall due to proposed rules for students lol. still hoping something positive in this tough situation ;D

So are the scores increasing because if thats the case then i have no chance

No it's not going to increase forever. This is not the norm; they have decided to slow down the intake process because of backlog and stuff. Things will start to change in October hopefully.

I tried to randomly select criteria for an imaginary applicant to get 538 points or more

The applicant to be a Ph.D from Canada, worked for 5 years, where at least 3 years in Canada.

Full mark for IELTS all 9s or CELPIP all 12s.

They are the elites, since 538 - 599 points didn't have any job offer of provincial nominations.

a Phd with masters and 5 years of exp would be in 31s roughly if he did not waste any years in between looking for job or he is not genius child

Right now I have a phD from abroad , two years of experience in Canada, 1 year of experience abroad, CLB 10 for TEF, My wife got a master,CLB8 on IELTS and 1 year of experience abroad. Had I applied now I would have had 541. I applied when I got only one year of experience in Canada and got 519.

That requires a lot of different conditions. This is very hard to obtain that many points. You need to have a dvanced score on TEF or IELTS.

This is exactly the point of Express Entry and the CRS...for Canada to set the qualifications of the people they invite for permanent residence as they like it.
