Chris Alexander
Minister of Citizenship and Immigration

Ministerial Instructions Respecting Invitations to Apply for Permanent Residence Under the Express Entry System (February 27, 2015)
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 February 27, 2015 and ending on February 28, 2015 is: 1187
Required rank

(2) Foreign nationals who, on February 20, 2015 at 23:59:51 UTC, have been assigned a total of 735 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.
 
To me that is excellent news.... shows the score falling and number of itas increasing. all the right trends
 
Why are they only including those who had those scores on February 20th a week ago. How come no one who just entered the pool is being allowed in or is it just a typo?
 
I think it was a typo, they just changed it:

That is great news I guess they are running out of lmo pnp holders

Great news for students and pgwp holders

Trends where correct this is almost 100 point drop in 1 week! And more invitations

Great! Fingers crossed

+1 to like
 
Yeah, but if they had 1000+ new people signing up within a week who all had an LMIA or Provincial nomination - isn't that kind of bad for us?
They must have been inviting everyone above 600 points though - there can't be many people between 600 and 735 points. That's super low already. How do people even manage to have only 135 points ^^
 
Yes Rosalie87 I hoped it would drop below 600 just to give the rest of us an indication that we haven't been forgotten about. Oh well maybe next week
 
I think 135 score must be someone without ECA or 6+ IELTS... Or someone that works in a Starbucks or something...
 
Also if the score keeps going low , people will get discouraged to go through LMIA/PNP Processing which is also not that easy.

Obviously its a very good trend if it is going low but if in next draw more people come up with LMIA/PNP it will be bad for low scorer.

Expecting the score to come down to 550 as not much people in this range but depends on number of LMIA and PNP.

really till date only LMIA and PNP has ruled in.

It is really a big injustice for CEC or FSWP program without.

it clearly pulled toward people with relative with extensive spread business able to clear LMIA or PNP making ECA and IELTS not required to enter CANADA.

Sorry but I disagree about injustice. People that are now working in Canada should have the priority. Otherwise, their visa expiries and they will be illegally working there.

I included both in canada CEC and out FSWP for that injustice.
