5th draw might be today

[aaro27]

I doubt that the points will plummet too... it has been clear that they have a certain CRS value that they want to maintain.. fingers crossed.. I have only 385 points ..ECA application waiting...

if at all the points drop down by 500 points, each point will have over 1000 students or other FSW.. there will be a tough competition...each point has a value

So you are saying that between 500 and 450 there are over 50,000 applicants?

There is no way that many people have 450-600

I would agree to most of your points on this thread : Adding my few cents ~

EE is a new system as been the case ; its been tested with limited draws and ITA.
As time prevails ITA's should follow more frequently for all level of points and with priority to those on PNP and AEO/LMIA

there aren't many with 600+ points to meet the immigration target of 2015 (185,000)
this leaves us with an equation that all those with point level 300+ to 498 or 500nds stand to receive ITA- the only hurdle is a wait time - Give it up for about 2-3 months to see points dripping -

In conjunction to draws do note candidates with PNP/AEO(LMIA) will continue to receive ITA on every draws.

good luck

I don't think there are many people over 450+.But by all the other post/thread i can see there a many people in the range of 350-400.

The EE spreadsheet itself have 100 people in 450-500 range. At the most the spreadsheet can represent 5-10% of the total number of applicants. So, I believe there should be more than 1500 applicants in 450-500 range. May be even more....

My guess, arpund 1500 between 730 and 480. And another 1500 between 480 and 450.
But again, its just a wild guess

you can't totally rely on the forum samples tho. 450-500 are very good scores without LMIA/PNP, ppl with higher scores are more likely to participate in those surveys, so the sample is definitely biased.

Number of provinces intrigated to EE and their total PNP eligible nominations may also play role to determine the number go down .

i dont know how many but trust me in the range of 450-350 there are a lot of people...there was a huge influx of students in last 3 to 4 years... many of them are without LMIA or PNP...so it is pretty obvious that they are going to fall in this range

 

[aaro27]

also, people with LMIA and or PNP will continue to enter the express entry system... these people are coming from across the globe..

I think the points will drop down just not so quick relax everyone over 370 should get ita

What really is a bummer is the fact that the last draw was 745 points. That means without lmia/pnp, the person with 735 would have merely 135 points!!
Where people such as myself, who can't really get a job since the profession is controlled/licensed (nursing, can't get a job till I'm registered in the nursing council which isn't easy sitting in here in my home country) are sitting here with 390 points after scoring a freaking 8 in the ielts!
