Any correlation between immigration plan 2016 and high CRS cutoff point?

[ovi1985]

I observed that, CRS cutoff point jumped just after Canadian government had announced their immigration plan for 2016. Can anyone please correlate these two phenomena?

Thanks in advance

No of intake for economic class has been reduced, hence, invitations are down and CRS is up. People are hopeful that invitation may go up once quota for 2017 is available (may be after few months).

Also once the backlogs are cleared which, some have projected, could happen sometime in October / November.

Don't think so; CIC spokeman said (in a video that someone posted month ago) that they are not yet done with the pre-2014 backlog and once done score will go down and invitations will increase as from September this year;

Please note it is only prediction on CIC's part.

If you look at the Immigration 2016 Plan, the Skilled Migration quota got cut in favor of the Refugee count....it's for a good cause anyway so it's safe to assume the quota would be more generous for the Skilled Migration class next year.

But then again...why wait for that to happen when you can still apply now

Correction: pre-2015, not pre-2014.

And looking at the trend, it seems they'll be done with the backlog in 2/3 months.

However, there are two other factors coming into play:

- increased intake of refugees this year means number of EE ITAs, if it does go up, might hover around 1000 again (until the end of the year),

- if the immigration target for economic immigrants is met with the backlog, there might not be a big change in the number of ITAs sent out, until some time next year.

I think the refugee situation will settle down later this year. They've taken in quite a lot already afaik hehe.
Economically speaking, Canada will stand to lose a lot if they continue to restrict immigration of highly skilled applicants for too long. That's how you drive growth after all (very able people who can pay taxes and contribute to the country's economy)

Everyone should realize this by common sense but apparently, CIC can't.
The future seems to be very unpredictable.

Did the spokesman give any hint about the specific month (i.e. September) or it's just an idea?

That's frightening
