Looked through the EE spreadsheet but I am unsure... Just wondering if there are any EE applicants among us with LMIA's or PNP's (ie. more than 600 points) who have yet to receive an ITA after the first three draws? Anyone with points between 600-808 waiting for the 4th draw?

It is strange because the wording CIC gives here clearly indicates that if you have more than 600 points, you are guaranteed to be drawn at the next draw. Meaning all candidates with PNP/LMIA's will be exhausted at each draw. Or am I interpreting it wrong? See below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2014-12-01.asp :
"Under Express Entry, labour market demand, in the form of a job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or a nomination by a province or territory will provide candidates with enough additional points and be ranked high enough to be invited to apply at the next eligible round of invitations."

Same wording can be found here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/
"These additional points will make a candidate rank high enough to be invited to apply at the next eligible round of invitations."

Does that mean there were only 779 candidates with 600+ points in the first two draws and CIC picked all of them?

First draw all category : FSW + CEC + FST (CRS: 886)
Second Draw all category : FSW + CEC + FST (CRS: 818)
Third draw only CEC category CRS 808

third draw only for CEC applicants. So even you have between 817 to 808 but not CEC you won't get ITA at the third draw.

Is anyone is this forum has received ITA under FST program?

Anyone with a score between 600-735 and has yet to receive an ITA after the 4th draw?
I don't think you're getting any answers, cause people with that English level probably can't read your question.

1. Since the minimum is 735 for an ITA, therefor anyone less that that would be issued one, would they?

Let's just say there are some people (hard to give a number) but for the sake of argument i know at least 5 (hey, we bump into each other every morning at work), who haven't submitted an EE profile yet.

But they are highly skilled + LMIA + (for the english proud mockery lot earlier in the thread) CLB10-12. But they might be applying soon.

Some only completed a year just now and wanted to apply under CEC. Others were just waiting for ECA because of a requirement for FSW. Each of this lot would at least be around 850.

I am sure there are going to be such people almost in every draw. Assuming that the entire lot applied on day one of EE, is just that, an assumption.

Oh and for the worried lot, none of these is a recent LMIA. Some have LMO's as old as a year or two, others have LMIAs that are six month older or less.

Keep guessing :)

I am asking about applicants who are already in the pool... Just trying to see if CIC is exhausting all LMIA/PNP holders in each draw.
