Yep, I hope they prepared a bigger draw for STEM next week or in 2 weeks. Otherwise, I do not have any logical explanation to NOCs selection (STEM is the most populated group) vs. draw size.I'm hoping the next STEM draw to be huge.

2300 invitations for french! f******* where are the 2300 for stem
As always, IRCC being unpredictable. The highest demand is for Healthcare followed by STEM but the draw numbers says other wise. 2000 for Healthcare, 500 for STEM and 2300 for Francophones. Looks directed more towards the vote bank. Also don’t understand OINPs Tech Draw 479-485 cutoff. All these candidates will most probably be swept off by the next STEM draw.Wow, this is crazy! Congrats to those who got their ITAs.
I feel this the second time OINP is screwing it up, when the ITA rain (3 weeks of 7k each - total 21k ITAs) happened in March end to early April 2023, most of the Jan-March OINP applicants got direct ITAs from IRCC. A lot withdrew OINP applications, some like me had accepted OINP nominations hours before the ITA rain occurred and had no choice but go through PNP. There is complete lack of coordination between both agencies and screw the applicants fees royallyAs always, IRCC being unpredictable.

No, she won't receive ITA as the spouse on your EE profile.My wife and I have my EE profile at 473 points, with me being the main applicant. I fall under STEM category and my wife under healthcare category (based on education and Canadian experience). Can she receive an ITA for a healthcare draw if she's the spouse of the main applicant? If she creates a profile as the main applicant, her score goes below 400.
IRCC / the ministry have dug a deeper hole now. I feel onlyMinisterial Instructions respecting invitations to apply for permanent residence under the Express Entry system #257– July 11, 2023

It is difficult to say for sure what IRCC will do next, but it is likely that they will continue to hold Express Entry draws throughout the summer.It seems they may do more category draws this week, with the low general draw today. I wonder if they will do healthcare and STEM again, or move on to some of the other categories.
I'm pretty sure that tomorrow they will do the missing stem draw because those 500 invitations from last week just didn't make any sense.It seems they may do more category draws this week, with the low general draw today.

Isn’t that what the country actually needs? Bringing in immigrants who have no scope to establish successful careers in Canada is counterproductive. It doesn’t help the immigrants coming in and neither does it help Canada. That was the biggest flaw of the express entry system. Canada needs healthcare workers, STEM professionals and construction workers the most. Now, it actually gets to bring them in. The general draws are now reserved only for the cream of the crop.IRCC / the ministry have dug a deeper hole now. I feel only
1) young - maximum age early 30's
2) Canada experience - maximum age mid 30's
3) Francophones
will make the ITA ranks hereon. All others have to try their luck with PNP, but I feel soon even the PNP admission scores also will go over the heads for a lot others.
Even though I failed Australian immigration because of the high scores in IT stream, I now Australian streamwise (a grouping of NOCS if you compared to Canada) ranking is much better for non-IT folks there. In Canada these systems doesn't help anyone barring the 3 categories I have mentioned above
