I wish thats true. and hopefully changes r good for all

Looks like no draw today, unless they really inviting lots of people and carefully planing for this draw. If not CRS will stay high for next draw.

I think it's just so that they don't end up with 3 draws in November. As simple as that.
I have a feeling it's gonna happen this Friday instead. That way 2 draws each in Oct and Nov.

This is most likely the reason IMO too.

This is most likely the reason IMO too.

But that would mean 3 Draws in December?

Not if they skip a Friday in December and move back to Wednesday draws. So skipping 2nd Dec and having it on 7th.
Gosh! Am I scheduling draws for CIC now or what! ;D ;D

Good to see a voice of reason! The rest (nearly) of the forum are thinking conspiracy theory :

But then again as other people have said it's also possible they just have an awkward amount of people above 481 (not enough), and on 481 (too many) so they can't do a draw :-X

Food for thought - I saw many topics on the points. However, I don't think they really care about the points. They care about the number of people being invited. So, if they want to invite 1500 people and if that can only happen by making a draw at 450 points they will do it. Similarly, if the room is just to invite 100 people and if that can happen by drawing at 1000 points, they draw accordingly.

Yeah, but what JALT was saying was that assume in the pool right now (numbers are made up to explain the concept only):
800 people with 482 and above
2000 people with 481 and above

If the CIC plans to issue 1500 ITAs, they won't go on and issue 2000 ITAs because that is a bit too much above what they have in mind. However, 800 ITAs are a bit short of the 1500 goal. So maybe they decided to wait until the number of people with 482 and above goes up to around 1500 and then they can issue ITAs.

I'm stuck at 481 so this is not really good news for me, either...

I'd like to go for the changes coming shortly or the 2 draw per month theory. What the IRCC guy said in that video is so far proving to be pretty consistent, so i don't think they would stop issuing itas to keep the scores above the bottleneck 481/482. They might consider dispersing the bottle neck by bringing in the awaited points for education though.
Sitting at 461, speculating on CICs next move, seems like an interesting job .

Congrats, you are actually seeing it from CIC's perspective.

Yeah it's strange there was no draw. Perhaps later tonight there'll be one?
