annual CIC report - confusing

[jassu2]

This report by CIC is very confusing.. they mentioned that they have only 2510 people with CRS higher than 450 point.. but the number of ITA's issued since the date of report is about 9467.. so did they include dependants bcoz I dont think so many ppl would just keep declining ITA over and over again, just doesnt sound right...

Well the 2510 is the snapshot number, that means they have 2510 applications with CRS>450 *at the moment*. But it's a dynamic number, new candidates enter the pool all the time.
When they do the next draw, this number will decline, and if you do a snapshot then, the number of CRS>450 will be even lower than 2510, but the number of ITAs will increase. I hope this makes sense

well i agree with snap shot.. but tats almost 7000 people in Q1.. so if it maintains tat average its gonna be abt 28000 ppl over the year.. last year they sent 31,063 ITA's and they wanna reduce it this year... I understand the back log tat they wanetd to finish last year, but chances are it would be difficult to see the CRS dip below 450 this year too.. well i guess i m over thinking and need a vacation.. lol...

Haha, well, we all like to overanalyze IRCC's procedures, it's like a masochistic hobby))
But actually, I do think you're right in that the cutoff is unlikely to drop below 450 this year, unfortunately
