It is just matter of the time. Score will definitely come down probably in the third/fourth quarter this year.
Candidates will come with LMIA and provincial nominations gradually because both the PNP and LMIA are not easy and they have most of the requirements common in each other. Employers are still trying to understand and digest the facts for both LMIA and PNP so its a slow game. On other hand, language tests and education assessments are both expensive and time consuming especially for people outside Canada. So pool will apparently grow but again its a slow process.
CIC recently have announced that there are over 22K candidates in the pool over four months. So taking this trend forward how many will be there after 8 and 12 months. I doubt this number will be around 22-25K if they continue to do the draws with same frequency but CIC will never achieve their growing immigration demand/goal which they announce like more or less 250k every year.
I have a feeling that CIC will do big draws for all streams in one in 3rd and 4th quarters or stream specific draws. EE system is still new, I strongly believe they are still working to improve the system.
[/quote) very good analysis. I was thinking the same. To add, I don't think too many people will rush to migrate to canada especially if they do not have any family or friends there and also if its too costly to relocate, I can apply for Australia EOI but it will be very costly for me to relocate with my family and I have only a few friends there. Hence Canada was my best option as half of my 'generation' us there. So I don't think the pool will drastically increase. Therefore if they want to achieve their target, they will have to make big draws and the scores will definitely have to reduce.
