Chris Alexander will know
 
only CIC know.
technically, there is no delay. they never gave a schedule of draws, they never said they'd be done on a pattern or how regularly they'd be. people got used to them happening every two weeks is all but that was never guaranteed and the draws always have, and will continue, to be done at the discretion of CIC.

Exactly. For my money (the most logical argument to me so far), the draws will be scarce and the number of invitations will be low because CIC will be waiting for higher-score people to join the pool so that they don't use up all their draws and invitations for low-score people, effectively killing their potential chances of inviting higher-score but late joiners of the pool. That is until the end of year. Before this year closes, they will have invited the highest possible scorers of the pool by applying the aforementioned strategy, thereafter it will merely be a thing of fulfilling their invitation quota for the year. At that point, they will invite as many people as they need to meet their yearly quota. The score may go down drastically when that happens, but of course, it all depends on how many invitations they are left with by the end of year. Pure speculation, but logical.

Even if it says there is no special occupation list and everybody is in equal position in this pool. I think this is not a normal condition, all in all Canada needs some specific occupations and what if there are no enough people on the pool who has higher point but has optimum point around between 400- 350.
What do you thing regarding these guys

Well, you are surely right about Canada needing specific occupations more over others, but there is no declared criteria about it in this year's EE. I don't think CIC would apply a criteria that is not declared. It might be that 2015 is a test year and they just want to get the EE going. Maybe they just don't want to deal with all the occupation quotas and everything at this time. There may well be an occupation list next year.

About the last part of your post, from a CIC perspective;

Problem: There isn't enough people with high points in the pool, but we have quite a bit of time before EE 2015 concludes.
Solution: We wait for candidates with high points to appear in the pool to be able to invite only the best (based on our current scoring system disregarding the NOC codes)

Problem: There isn't enough people with high points in the pool, and we are still short of our invitation target, and EE 2015 will conclude in a month.
Solution: We have already done all we can to make sure we get the highest possible scorers. Now our priority is to reach our target. And since we haven't declared any low cut-off limit, we will use the final draws to invite as many people as needed to meet the number of planned invitations this year.

For how much the cut-off score will fall (be it 350 or 400 or 300) will entirely depend on how many people with high scores were invited before reaching the assumed year-end stage.

Everything above is assuming CIC is waiting for high scores.
 
Yes, there wasn't one.

My my, aren't you the strategist. Perhaps you should send Chris Alexander your resume.
