My ambitious attempt at trying to predict the number of ITAs for Jan. draw!!!

100% would be a cap for IT and computer nocs.canada needs labors in varied occupations other than IT.minimum point may be 350-370

If this were the case, why would CIC explicitly announce there will be no NOC-based caps under Express Entry?

I guess eventually over large numbers all noc will balance themselves out

Exactly right, if there is a shortage of a particular NOC in Canada, then employers would easily be able to obtain LMIAs for employees, meaning they would gain large point advantages in EE and be drawn ahead of the more popular NOCs where employers would have a hard time obtaining an LMIA.

Agreed too. In fact I think this is the main reason CIC moves to EE system. It leaves the decision of composition of occupation to the job market, instead of CIC/ESDC do their research and create a list of eligible NOC, thus reacts to changes in job market faster.

Sounds great, but we will see if it actually works

dude I agree with some part of your comments. I don't know if CIC want more money or what, but i know, in FSW14 my wife don't need a WES report and right now I have to spend extra hundreds bucks to apply for her WES as few extra points from my wife might be helpful and nothing was in a certain just yet.

Your analysis made me think...
So they want the best immigrants, period...OK. Just the best.
I reread the news release, and it said they want the highest ranking... Is second place the best, no, right?
So they might just choose the best, which is the top 1 percent... 2nd place is not the best.
(Of course, they can just say the top ten percent)

So now, I think they will just choose the top ten percent, not 1 percent, that's my guess.

As for the reason why they might imply that it's easy to go to Canada, like how entering now is express, it's to create buzz. Awareness will make a lot of people apply...

I think that a part of the pool of applicants will be from people who were part of the 200 thousand backlogged applications.
So that's a big pool. But to actually have the energy to apply again after having been let down before might impact EE application numbers. Because that's how I felt when I applied for FSW 2014, what a let-down. But I still applied, this time with less expectations.

You should sit for IELTS to increase your score.

I already scored 122 when it comes to language. I have 2 years of education in canada and one year of skilled work experience but the problem is that i did not get the 40 points for 1 yr experience .

Why would CIC gain more money with your wife WES? CIC doesn't have any relationship with WES, and doesn't gain one cent per ECA report issued.

Absolutely right buddy....I don't know why people make these kind of predictions which have no sense at all....

 

[Granadoespada]

Because before, there was no ECA, then suddenly ECA is required

 

[doubleym]

ECA was always required for FSW.

The reason it's required for EE is because you gain points for your education, you have to be able to prove that those points are valid and if your credential isn't obtained in Canada, the only way for them to do that is with an ECA.

ECA is not only a requirement but it is mandatory for some high class jobs & for higher Education here in Canada, Think if you & your's wife have ECA done how easy it will be for you & for your wife to get a job in Canada. But once you come here in Canada without ECA it will be very difficult to get have your ECA done from your home country and getting jobs in Canada also.

Secondly ECA was always a requirement for FSW.

 

[Canadaprseeker]

what could be the cut off and any guesses how many ITA's wud be sent ? also the frequency of draws ? twice or just once in a month ?

 

[soniceamon]

"Secondly ECA was always a requirement for FSW ??!!??!!" - I dont see that. in FSW14 there's no option for Spouse's education, only Canada experience and IELTS can gain you more points.

[soniceamon]

I don't say that. I am just doubt why they require this now. is it too late for my wife to get her WES when we actually ARRIVE Canada? oh, I know, I will get anything required as I have no option left and complain is not fair too.
