Below 350 have to wait till November .... is it true??

2niharika,
The truth of this matter is that you can not get a correct answer to your question. I will advice you just be calm and keep your fingers cross. Let us all watch as things unfold. Meanwhile you can think of whatever will help increase your score.
 
Hi Friends,

I have done with the points calculation and it comes around 370. Now i could see from the post and it looks like those who are having above 453 points are getting ITA. Any idea about candidates like us who stand between 300 and 350?

Thanks,
Prasanna

If your IELTS score is not CLB9 then you can get it improved....
 
Experts! My ielts result is valid till middle of October. If I receive an ITA in Aug and if somehow the processing of my application goes beyond October, would my application will be null & void?

This is my new opinion.

1.
Federal Skilled Workers (including Federal Skilled Trades) 47,000~51,000
CEC 21,000~23,000

Notice – Supplementary Information to the 2015 Immigration Levels Plan
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2014-11-06.asp

2. We also need to think there is a inventory before 2015.
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/ottawas-new-express-entry-immigration-system-slow-off-the-mark/article23801745/comments/

A majority of economic immigrants arriving in 2015 will be drawn from the pool of people who applied to enter Canada in the years before Express Entry was introduced, Ms. Nadeau said. It is not clear exactly how large a portion of overall immigration will come from Express Entry candidates.

“They're going to meet their overall annual target, even if the majority are from the inventory,” said Naomi Alboim, an immigration expert who teaches public policy at Queen's University.
“They have a big inventory of applications that were in place before Jan. 1 and they're processing two parallel systems.”

Good news is "The number of new permanent residents coming through the program is expected to grow in 2016 to about half of all admissions"

3. I guess majority score group is 450-350.

And I guess the waiting pool like this

400-450 7,200
350-400 12,000
350-330 4,500
Total 23,700

I am estimating based on a sample from this spreadsheet.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13Hf5KT35xOJMzlHo9KVenqYSrZFTjt0qc_PZgrI4mls/edit#gid=1121320176

4. There are new applicants flooding each month.


In Conclusion,

My point is 321.
It comes to gloomy prediction to me.
I will try and depend on LMIA.

I'm glad that my estimation was almost correct,
and I'm sad at the same time as there are so many candidates and we are not competitive.

Below is on as of today, Date modified: 2015-04-10.

"In 2015, CIC expects to have 15-25 invitation rounds."

What do we know about candidates in the Express Entry Pool?

"With more than 22,000 active people in the pool, candidates from around the globe are represented."

Slow start for Express Entry but new immigration system to pick up

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/slow-start-for-express-entry-but-new-immigration-system-to-pick-up/article23887404/

Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander said he expects

just 10 to 15 per cent of the immigrants who arrive in Canada this year will have been selected via the new Express Entry application system. But he expects that figure will rise sharply by 2016.

The Conservative government pledged to accept up to 280,000 immigrants this year, but the vast majority will be selected under the old system as Canada transitions to Express Entry.


---------------------------------------------
280,000 10%=28,000 15%=42,000.

What's your plan seeing recent result and announcement?
