Let us guess cutoff score for next draw!

[curious_123]

Assuming 1200 ITA will be issued, if we allocate 600 to 750+ score, rest should below 600, my guess will be 480+

 

[mississaugaapplicant]

i would like it to include as many people as possible, including myself, so i would like it to be over 440.. or even 400.
But realistically i don't think it'll be lower than 475.

 

[Makolutus]

I think the cut off score for the Feb 1 st draw will be ~750+

for the Feb 2nd draw, the cut off will be 480+ as the remaining of the LMIA/LMO candidates will be picked in the above draw.

 

[the_lion]

I agree in no way its going lower than 480

 

[Ivan.Galv]

I assume CIC will take another 750-800 people.
It is up to 400 LMIA people still without ITA with score 600+.
The score 500-600 is almost impossible, unique cases, mb 10-30 applicants. So 350 applicats will be taken from the highest 400's score.
I bet it is 490 or 485 target score.

I am not completely sure.
There were 1200 LMIAs (LMOs too?) in 2014 year. I count only them.
I am not sure about 2012/2013 LMOs. We will see.

2012 and 2013 LMO would have applied mostly in FSW2014. There was no CAP for LMO hole\ders last year and the year before.

Nope I know many guys in my office who came on a LMO in 2013 and were completing 1 year in the month of Oct/Nov 2014. They have submitted their FSW applications last year quite late and are bound to get rejected/returned due to NOC cap.

No caps if they had a job offer !!!

No caps if they had a job offer !!!

How come..
Even before Express Entry, One had to complete 1 Year of work exp in Canada to be eligible under CEC and then apply under respective NOC..

True... 1year exp was mandatory...but caps were for applications without job offer...applications with job offer were considered even after NOCs got filled

I don't think so.. This whole job offer thing started with Express Entry.. how come a person with valid LMO would not had a job offer under FSW14 (as he has LMO, he is working in canada)

As far as I know, one had to complete one year of work exp in Canada to be eligible for CEC if their NOC was 0, A or B and later file for their PR application under respective NOC codes provided the cap is not full..

No, job offer was there before. See here, for example: http://web.archive.org/web/20140902160453/http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp
"As of May 1, 2014, there is an overall cap of 25,500 for new federal skilled worker applications. This includes a cap of 500 applications from PhD students. There are also sub-caps of 1,000 for each of the 50 eligible occupations. The caps do not affect people with a valid job offer"
