[mead]

B) Good, but need more info to become better.

announcements seem good but when they release details everything falls apart

This looks like some good news and the points should go down considerably before even year end.

Total invitaions since June 1, 2016 = 10,903
Target for 20176 (ITAs till June 2017) = 73,700 (Only Federal Economic Class)
Remaining ITAs for 7 months = 62797
ITAs per month = 8,971

Suppose they continue with 2 draws a month, ITAs per draw = 4485 and thats a huge number!!!

Even if they take 3500 ITAs per draw, the score should drop below 450 easily.

Incorrect calculation, buddy.

Federal Economic1:

"Beginning in 2017, this category will also include admissions resulting from up to 2,000 applications in the new Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program.

Admissions also include applicants who applied to the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and Canadian Experience Class prior to the launch of Express Entry on January 1, 2015 (i.e., applications in the inventory), as well as those who made an application using Express Entry.

Levels targets and ranges have not been established for each individual program as a majority of admissions in 2017 are expected to come from Express Entry. This approach reflects the current way that federal economic immigrants are selected under the Express Entry system. The Express Entry system determines which programs foreign nationals qualify for based on the information they provide and awards them points under the Comprehensive Ranking System for their ability to successfully enter the Canadian work force (e.g., age, education, official language proficiency and work experience)."

Very bare-bone announcement. Nothing has been mentioned in details. Disappointing and that's an understatement.

actually annual IRCC report is never an announcement in policy details and only in general immigration targets.

"The Government has established 300,000 as a new baseline for permanent resident admissions with the majority of these selected as economic immigrants.

Within this plan, the number of permanent residents selected in economic programs will increase. Though planned admissions of resettled refugees will decrease when compared to the extraordinary target in 2016, they will continue to remain among the highest in Canada’s history and will be more than double the target in 2015. Maintaining the Government’s commitment to family reunification, the 2017 plan also sees an increase to family class levels, which will help to reduce processing times and reunite more families.

Overall, the plan balances high immigration levels with improvements to the immigration system, including reducing backlogs.

The approach to the 2017 levels plan was guided by feedback from Canadians gathered over the summer months and from provinces and territories."

I don't see why do we need more data. IF you are under federal skilled, fsw or cec, the quota increased 26% (ok u want to remove the 2000 pilot program go ahead)

I fail to see how this can be bad or worse than 2015 or 2016. it increased implies better.

Considering the PR admissions 2011-2015, the projected increase for the years 2016 and 2017 is fairly high, and a good enough reason to be happy.

Thats the same graph, just using a different starting y point.

Same stats, but the original graph is an exaggerated one used for marketing purposes or buzzfeed's articles while mf4361's graph is how you should properly draw a graph.
