The number of ITAs increased!!! Does it indicate a reduction in backlog?

Not necessarily, maybe they are trying to fill up their yearly quota ?
We'll have to wait and see till they update excel files online.

I was at 471, getting closer. However turning a year older in a weeks time, so i am going to lose 5 points . Will i be deducted right away or when ITA is received or how does it work?

Good luck to everyone who got in.
