Maybe 2017 for EE 3 draws each month with 3000+ ITA.
12 months x around 10,000 ITA a month = 120,000 ITA for 2017 8)
Do they already announced that the quote for this year will be 400k ? :

Wrong, 120K people is not 120K ITAs because there are 2,3 people per application remember!omar_ahmed21 said:Maybe 2017 for EE 3 draws each month with 3000+ ITA.

It should be 4K per month!
Hey everyone. Like many of you, I'm in the same boat. 441 CRS have been in the pool since late Feb 2016.
I think the optimism in the group has been great, and like you I hope that scores come down over the next 2 to 3 months. I do wonder however how far into the low 440s the scores will reach though.
The 2015 end-of-year report indicated that there were 13,537 people in the 440-449 group. That was after approximately one year of operation of the EE system. There have never been any EE rounds with CRS < 450. This means that many people who entered the EE pool in 2015 in this points range would presumably still be in the pool. Then you have to take into account all the additional people with 440-450 CRS points who have joined the pool in the last 12 months. I expect there have been double the number of applicants to the pool throughout 2016. Even taking into account that some people would have gone down the PNP route, I would speculate there could be at least 20,000 or more people currently in the 440-449 range. While I believe the cut off will drop in the next couple of months, based on these numbers, I wonder how realistic it is that the points will drop to the low 440s.
For everyone's sake, I hope the cut off decreases and those that have been waiting a long time are rewarded for their patience and diligence. I'm very much looking forward to seeing the 2016 end of year report when it is released just to see how much the picture has changed in the last 12 months!
All the best,
Stephan

lol. Righto.... thanks for the correction. I now have far more confidenceAal_ said:

And to think that I've look at that report 1 million times. Seriously I think my pessimism throughout the middle to late last year made me see the numbers differently. Sorry about that.skantzidis said:lol. Righto.... thanks for the correction. I now have far more confidence

Here's hoping for some really positive news soon.
you didnt factor that all the 400+ from 2015 onwards till Feb 8, 2016 applied for OINP and 95% got the PNP. So those numbers are also gone away.
Agreed. But all those who were in 380+ range have got into 400+ after the changes. So I consider that effect has been off set. But OINP related case still holds the merit.
Now the exciting hours begin. Just keeping fingers crossed at 451. Praying to get through this time, has been over an year waiting now !!
