Im just speculating based on the quota and cleared backlog. It should be around 2500 per draw..Aal_ said:
Im a little bit worried they do such large draws, they cant continue like this forever.

to be honest if they draw 2500 or even 2000 per draw, and every 2 weeks a number less than this number enters the pool, we are guaranteed ITA. The problem with CIC was consistency and this is what we need.astralsource said:
For sure they can't have such massive draws forever. IMO, they want to give a chance to people who've been stuck below 450 since ever and the only way to do that is to have large draws. Once they have reached a certain minimum CRS then they would start having smaller draws and the score would be consistent at a certain level. Now, what that certain minimum CRS is is something that only CIC and time can tell.astralsource said:
From yesterday draw, I'm hoping that miracle will happen to us all in March. Maybe 3-4 more draws?
I am sitting at 444 right now and have just paid IQAS for my wife's evaluation. After successful evaluation, my score will bump to 454. I hope they follow similar trend of invites at least for next 2 months.. 
The quota is set for number of PRs and not for ITAs. We also do not know for sure if the paper based applications backlog has actually been dealt with. However, the ITAs this year will never go down to the levels that we saw last year.Badr said:
Hopefully this trend keeps up for the next couple months at least, there are no guarantees. I personally think ITAs will be heavy during the first quarter to allow time during the rest of the year, to start and finish the entire process for these candidates. That way, it all takes place (or at least most of it) during 2017, and not leak over into 2018. This will allow CIC to actually hit its target during the 2017 year, and we may see the invites taper off later in the year. If we don't we'd be looking at over 120k ITAs, so I highly doubt this trend would continue throughout the year.
CIC are the only people who know exactly what the strategy is. With that said, these numbers of people leaving the pool may leave others in place to receive PNP once they re-open to beginning filling their quotas for 2017. The simple fact is that they will admitting more people than last year with the increase in quota, the exact strategy they will use to do that no-one knows, these next couple months will continue to shed light on the situation.

Not probable, there were 13000 between 400 and 449 same time last yearomar_ahmed21 said:I think CRS 440-450 around 12000 candidates waiting for ITA :
Sitting at 445.
Feel next score will be 449 if 8th Feb and 445 if draw takes place 1st Feb.
But there is a fear also that the score may change direction like last year if IRCC decides to issue lesser itas again

Last Year CRS 440-449 bracket has 2,486 candidatesAal_ said:
Lets say the number triple with the changes such as extra points for Canadian graduates.
2486x3= 7458 current candidates
So, my guesses ! :
Feb 8th draw= CRS 448 / 3000+ ITAs
Feb 15th draw= CRS 442/ 3000+ ITAs
Feb 22th draw= CRS 440/ 3000+ ITA's
This thread and the Ray of Hope 54th thread make me feel very hopeful. So many people believe that the whole 440s bracket will be cleared by the end of February... I'm too excited to the point that I get nervous. Argh i hate being in this passive waiting stage. Is there anything that WE can do to make sure that the score dropping trend will not reverse? :s I am feeling very nervous
Focus on the postITA documents now, get PCC for example, that will calm you down and direct energy to something useful.patricia.hple said:This thread and the Ray of Hope 54th thread make me feel very hopeful.
