If I received an ITA for FSW, what does that tell you? lol
Just checking if you were eligible for both CEC and FSW programs or just one....but sounds like it is good news for ppl qualifying only under FSW without a job offer as there are chances the next draw could go down till 450 too... ;) Btw congrats on you ITA....
 
so 1600 ITA's today which is a much larger number than the previous draws.

I am surprised it went down that low. There is still hope for us sitting on 410 :D.
 
I'm 10 points off, so i should only be a couple weeks from getting an invite!! :D ;D
