Am wondering when do they put these quotas into work,do they apply it instantly or does it take effect in new year?

Already started to fill quota for 2017. and will continue through next months until they have enough (cca last quarter of 2017.). So ITA numbers will depend on it much. Also, the backlog affects ITA numbers...
 
An interesting explanation, and valid too.

"With my understanding when they launched EE they said that it is 50% of total immigrant target and from 2017 it will work 100% because all of the applicants will be selected from EE. So if they were giving away 1500 invites every 2 weeks saying it as 50% they should easily can give 3000 ITAs per draw from 2017 onwards. If even if they send 2000-2500 ITAs consistently we can see the scores drop below 450"
 
Just submitted the profile ten days ago, with a score of 455. Also took the IELTS yesterday, hoping to raise the score to 461. But then, in one month's time, will decrease to 456 because of age.

I can understand the points dropping off at 40, but at 30?

You've only had enough time at 30 to finish your uni and had a few years of experience.

They really expect their ideal candidate to be 29, no debt, PhD student with 3+ years in a skilled or manager position, speaks French and English fluently and is preferably single.

Ugh.

Oooo you're an editor? I am currently a journal Manager... but as I don't actually do any editing (just manage journals, authors, reviewers and editors) I'm only given NoC 1221...

Aha. That's an administrative officer? So you coordinate them? Wish I had one of you.

In real life I'm a 2121 (biologist) - sadly just volunteer experience.

Yea, all the submitted papers go through our system, we oversee them (deal with authors when they realise their names are spelt wrong), handle reviewers who can't understand how to download PDFs and editors who are either super lovely or holy hell angry. I also compile and plan all the issues. It's bloody stressful. No idea what the papers are about though. I did computing at uni and in the past. Been at this job for a few months. It sits relly well with my hyper planning side.

Sorry...off topic a bit...

Nice to know that. We do all that by ourselves, but I work on the web so everything moves quicker and can be easily corrected if any mistakes happen. Actually doing this job made me think of immigrating to another country. Yes, stress. Can be lovely when you learn to "manage it" by "don't caring".

Yea, laptop snaps shut at 4.30pm...
 
459 since October 2016, and no way to improve my score, unless I start to learn some French ;D
 
Sitting at 457, and taking TEF in 11 days, so hopefully that can bump me up a few points :)
 
Hey guys,

I have 29 months of experience (i-e; <3 years). I am not working currently for past couple of months. My CRS is 450, when I select 2 years, as my work experience, and in my EE profile I have not mentioned any work CURRENTLY!

My question is, I've got a job and would be working from next week. Would updating EE profile add any points to my CRS score?
Because changing 2 years work experience to 3 years, is giving me 25 points and my CRS jumps up to 475.

Thanking in anticipation.

So what you're basically asking is if by starting a new job your work experience will magically jump from 29 months to 36 months?

I don't get it.
