If No draw today then it indicates that CIC doesnt want to go below 451

It'd also indicate that they've already done two draws in July and as a general rule, 2 draws per month is the max.

No it doesn't indicate anything of the sort. We have no idea what CIC is going to do unless they say so specifically.

14th draw isn't the last draw. Scores will come down but will take some time. Patience is the key here. You can never predict what CIC might come up with

+1. CIC originally announced they *expected* to do 15-25 draws in 2015. Note the language there & in other press releases about EE. They are very careful never to *guarantee* anything.

My personal (again note choice of words) opinion is that the cut-off points may rise in the next draw, no opinion/prediction as to the date.

Why even post stuff like this? If I were running EE, I would do what they are doing - skim the cream until close to the end of the year, then open the floodgates to fill the quota. I would not want to lower scores and consequently meet quotas by September, closing out some people with LMIAs or high scores until next year.

Hang in there. You can see from CIC's own post that a small minority of candidates have scored higher than 450. I believe they want to catch as many of those as possible in their nets, leaving spaces open for them all year, and will then fill the quotas with lower scores toward the end of the year.

According to CIC's own data, there is no need to open any flood gates: it is foreseen that the *targets* (NOTE the word: NOT "quota") for 2015 will be met from the backlog from other years.

Hi Everyone,

I did my Bachelors in Electrical Engineering (4 year program), graduated last year. I'm working for almost 9 months and job is related to my field. I did talk to few consultants for my immigration as I will be eligible to apply for EE after 1 year of experience. Most of them said that I don't need LMIA as international students with post grad work permit and job are exempt from it. My question is how I will be able to get ITA with such a low score as I see the lowest point is approx 453 till now. Did anyone get ITA yet who is an international student with similar score and exempt from LMIA? I believe my score is around 380 or something. Will appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks
