No more ITAs for everyone on cut off scores

So sad

That is going to lead to lots of disappointments and confusion. People are going to spam the forums asking why they didn't get invited although their score was equal to cut off. But now we will see rounded off cut off scores like 3500, 3800, etc.

They just complicated everything but its the only way they can control number of invitations That will also cause dissapointment for the rejected ones who need to enter the pool again and wait for who knows how long to get ITA. Depends on CRS of course. I hope they wont be practicing it so often.

It's a bit confusing. Is this only for candidates with tied cut-off scores?
They shared the following example in the article:


For example, if the minimum CRS score in a future draw is 419, and IRCC invites the top-ranked 3,300 candidates, the following may apply:

Rank CRS score Date and time of profile submission Status
3298 419 September 21, 2016, at 12:31:04 Invited to apply
3299 419 December 1, 2016, at 23:00:01 Invited to apply
3300 419 February 2, 2017, at 08:03:48 Invited to apply
3301 419 February 2, 2017, at 15:33:20 Still in the pool
3302 419 May 4, 2017, at 20:12:56 Still in the pool


But what about the ranking of someone who applied right before the draw who has 420? Will he still come higher in ranking than a person with 419 who's been waiting for several month?

Yes

It seems perfectly fair to me.
