Express Entry in 2018? Thoughts?

[tp_marina]

Hey guys.
I wanted to start this discussion for those (including me) who are working on increasing their CRS score and still need 1-2 years to get enough points for an ITA...
I'm wondering what you guys think will happen with Express Entry in 2018. Is there a chance that the points will raise instead of dropping? That Canada will dramatically reduce the number of immigrants accepted? That Express Entry will go through major changes or even stop at all?

If you have any concrete information, e.g. articles, numbers, calculations, please share those too.

IRCC has no idea how 2016 will shape up and end while you are asking about 2018? This seems ridiculous at this point of time.

This post is pointless. even John Macculum cannot provide you any insight on your query.

"Canada needs at least X immigrants and is accepting Y per year so we can expect this to continue for K years"
"Canada has accepted X immigrants per year in the past 10 years, so this trend is expected to continue"

This is the kind of information I'm looking for. I've done a search but haven't found much, that's why I'm asking if anyone has any info regarding this. Maybe this information doesn't exist, which appears to be what you're saying, but that doesn't mean my topic is pointless - now I know this information does not exist.

The system will improve and will become more efficient, right now i think there are way to many weak points.
