i'm expecting 2 more draws in 2015, but with the holidays coming it's a little complicated to have more than 1 more draw.

Any thoughts ?

Re: Next draws and holidays

The only draw that can happen will be on 18th Dec , if not then no more draws for this year as holiday are around the corner .

Re: Next draws and holidays

The recent trend has been a draw on Friday every 2 weeks with the rare exception of a back to back draw on Nov 27 & Dec 4.

If draws continue to be on Fridays, its possible for a draw on 18 Dec. After that the next possible date is 8 Jan. I don't see them having a draw on the public holidays of Dec 25 or Jan 1.

The other possibility is that draws take place on a day other than Friday which happened earlier in the year. This is all just guesswork though. Before the first draw they announced they would have 15-25 draws in 2015, and they have had 22 in 2015. Hence they may not have further draws in 2015. No one really knows.

yes, this sounds reasonable. we expect only one draw on 18th in 2015. unless there is something happening in CIC that we are unaware of.

What if the new Trudeau Government announces abolishing Express Entry completely, that's why they are halting it already :'(


or maybe I am out of my mind.

Yes - there is zero chance this will happen. No one is working.

Even December 24th and December 31st are barely working days. Everyone leaves the office early.

I think the system is automated, therefore we can have a draw.

My guess is that they had a draw on the Dec. 4, just so that they could squeeze in 2 draws in December, with a 2 week gap. So Dec. 18 seems highly likely. If they wait till Jan for the next draw, then we can expect a higH CRS Cutoff in the range of 800 that we saw at the beginning of the year, as a lot of persons would have been added to the pool in the interval.
