Hi Guys,

I know this is really an open ended question but I was wondering how long would it take to get an ITA from CIC for an submitted application.
I just finished submitting my application with a point score of 463 and wanted to know the time it might take.

I understand its completely dependent on the draws but was wondering if they have a huge backlog to clear before my turn comes?

With 463, you can expect an ITA anytime within the next 3 months or so, all depending on the no. of invitations considered by IRCC in draws.
Lately, they are sending out only 800 invitations per draw. If they go back to their regular 1500 invitations, then soon you should get your ITA.

As your CRS points, you definitely have a chance of being selected for apply PR.

Hope you will receive an invitation soon.

All the best

Thanks, I know its really difficult to tell when the ITA will be issued as no one knows.. but just wanted to get a general idea on the pattern :)
I see the previous rounds and fairly close so lets see..

Same score as you :) From the looks of it CIC will continue to tighten the cut off for another month or two but yeah...the ITA is bound to happen.

So you know (and I keep track of things) that CRS score has been given an ITA Around ~40% of the time since express entry started. Not a sure ball thing It's a pretty solid chance :)

I submitted mine about a month ago so I've been to two draws so far. If we lodged our EE back in January we would have received an ITA back then hehe

Yea, you are right but anyways let's hope for the best and see what happens. We should probably touch base when anyone of us gets it!

If they keep the number of invitation around 800 per draw, then I guess the score will never go down to 475 ~ 480.
