Well that's fair - they did make it clear they would clear those first. Additionally, the Job Bank is not really up and running yet so....

Don't lose hope!

Guys I am a little confused: is EE simply an acceleration process or every single FSW / CEC candidate will be picked from the pool?

There is 2 different opinions here on this, some say it will go down to 400 something by March-April, some say it'll stay approximately the same. So, I guess we'll find out after the 2nd draw.

CIC mentioned their immigrants target for 2015 is [1]
65-75k+ for FSWP/FSTP
21-23k for CEC
46-48k+ for PNP thru EE

At lowest estimation, this means EE for 2015 could hit 132k

If this kind of low ITAs is to sustain, after 25 draws there will be 19.4k ITAs (776 * 25). Make it 1000 per draw, that's still 25k ITAs. That's a far cry from what they set out to do.

IMO, they may have deliberately set the ITA number low to eliminate chances for those without valid job offers. But what are they gonna do with these targets?

Impossible to hit those targets with job offers only. Even if they select only 776 more on the next, I'm sure the grade will get lower because there aren't that many LMIA arround. And those are hard to get.

Now its clear that no NoC will be considered when issuing ITAs, the more points the more chance to be selected. But in spreadsheet some NoCs are really dominating. I wonder how it could be one dimensional.

Your link won't open, but look closer to what is a target. Is that a number of people? 776 — is it a number of people or number of cases? Usually, the number of people is two or three times more than number of cases.

Can someone please make me understand. Earlier CIC had planned to take 260k-280k application under EE. Now as per the link its 132k. What about the remaining 128k (260k-132k)

Well they don't have to meet those targets. They can just say that with oil prices going down - CAD has gone down big time against USD. So there might be some layoffs happening over 2015 for sure as Canadian economy is dependent much more on oil prices than the U.S. Economy. With that CIC can just say -with such a bad outlook they will only hire people with LmIAs so that they don't put more pressure on the economy by hiring someone without a job offer....

779 is still a big number guys, trust me.
Australian Govt, when they launced EE in 2012, they just sent out 200 invites in the first draw. Altough, within 4 months, the ita's increased to almost 2000 - 2500 each draw and the cut off went down significantly!

Iknow, the patience is killing me too, but we got no choice.

Humanitarian cases, family class, spouses, etc.

260-280k is total number of immigrants. 132k is the lowest estimate thru EE only.
