430 could well be the long term floor. Once the backlog is cleared off, cutoff scores should drop below 450 unless provinces increase their EE intake and/or LMIA regulations become less stringent. Either of those would push the cutoff higher.cjs said:
Because BC had much more stringent qualifying criteria. Most outland applicants wouldn't fit BC's requirements. Ontario did not discriminate between inland and outland applicants in their program.sk6492 said:
Hard to say. 3 prerequisites before the score breaches 460 again.mysunshine said:
1. Back to back draws or more draws/month - IRCC is unlikely to do those now as the pool appears to have stabilized into some kind of equilibrium. And they are comfortable with doing 2 draws in a month which spaces out their workload.
2. More ITAs/draw - No reason to do this either. There are considerable backlogs so they are deliberately reducing the number of ITAs/draw. Plus they reduced economic immigration targets by 20% for 2016 compared to 2015.
3. Lesser PNPs - This might be the only savior in the short term. Ontario has noticeably slowed down in the recent past. BC is heavily skewed towards inland applicants. In April-June, the pool might have fewer applicants with 600+ thereby forcing the cutoff to creep down to below 460.
Unlikely with same number of ITA per draw. Pool is not something static, new candidates arrive all the time. Look at statistics, without back to back draws more than 50% of 1500 (i.e. 750) invitations have 600+. Unfortunately, there's no breakout for 450-499 scores, but you can safely assume that there're always 250 candidates in 450-499 range with score above 460-470.cjs said:
The question is when? with more than 20k nominations cut, I don't see why people keep saying there will be back to back draw. Even the government is increasing the fund for refugee and family reunification, not express entry -> no way they can issue more itas than 2015.cjs said:
