Lahoria said:Good analysis. The rate of new profiles above 450 CRS in July is also consistent with the overall rate in the first six months of the year. 12,017 invitations in six months without dropping below 450 would result into a 24,000 invitations in the full year provided the rate of new profiles above 450 does not reduce. This means candidates like me in the range of 400 to 450 have to actively pursue for improving their score through IELTS or try for a provincial nomination.
Please see third para under heading "Invitation Rounds", they have mentioned that a large number of foreign nationals already working in Canada were received ITA; so future number of invitations would not supposed to follow past trend as you have guessed; nevertheless acquiring more points would always keeps candidates in safe side.
