Score will go down.

Its fair on CICs part to select candidates with more points. And certainly people with jobs. In my opinion, that was the whole point of changing the system. To have lesser burden.

But the system is unfair because people like me(without a Canadian Job Offer), are left out of the competition, just because the Job Bank is still not doing what it was intended to do.. connect people like me to employers. Imagine where people like me(in the 380-420 range) would land on CRS with a 600-point-boost.

Canadian employers still seem pretty skeptic looking at this system, I think(I havent received a single response for any of my umpteen job applications through Job Bank). I would be skeptic too, if I had to wait 6 months(I guess) to fill a job position. CIC needs to work on this bottleneck.

With unemployment at 7ish percent of course canada wants to make sure that a company is doing everything it can to hire those already here.

Score wont go below 440 until june. All of us between 400 amd 450 wont be in until after the election

My point was about the wait employers have to go through if they use the Job Bank. I understand the point you are making. However, in my opinion, 7% unemployed workforce aren't tantamount to 7% qualified and competent workforce. Employers would be happy to hire qualified and competent workforce from the Job Bank.

I agree they want to but of coursecanada wants to make sure those coming through job bank are on the same opplrtunity as local Canadians. The problem with making overseas hiring easier is that thosefrom third world countries will acceptfar lower salaries which is detrimental tothe canadian work force. So of course ths canadian government are going to make it hard.

You are told you are eligible for immigration through a particular program (FSW,CEC etc) as determined by your EE profile. This does not guarantee an ITA. In the eyes of CIC, a lower score is an indicator that an individual may have problems integrating into Canadian society and could become a burden to the country. This is not their desire. EE is used to ensure that the most qualified applicants get first shot a PR and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

There is absolutely no reason why anyone should lose productivity. It's not as though we need to join a line at CIC offices the world over to get our tickets into Canada. If necessary use the time devising means of improving your scores by whatever means are available to you. Moaning and groaning is certainly not a productive use of anyone's time.

Very well said ButterflyChemist

Sitting on 435 points I can't be anything but hopeful. The uncertainty, the stress and the fatigue can be overwhelming. At times I can't even do my current job in peace because my thoughts wander towards "what if??".

The only thing we can do at this point is sit back, relax and enjoy what you have right now. You can't make CIC lower or increase the number of ITA they pick.

If you have room for improvement on your language scores. Do that.

And if you're like me with CLB 9+ in all sections there is nothing more you can do. Unless you want to go back to school ...
I for one hope to get the PR and then pursue a masters degree in Canada.

If all else fails my alternate route would be to pursue a Masters in Canada before a PR.

Guys on a side note. Many of us qualify for Australian immigration as well. It doesn't hurt to give that a look as well.

Best of Luck Everyone!

Score will go up again above 600 points provinces and job bank will pick up what Canada labor market needs and give them 600 points the high score you are the better chance to be chosen.

First 4 draws for people inside Canada whether have nomination or LMIA
Second 4 drwas for people above 453 points
Third 4 draws I assume for provinces and job bank to pick up the highest and benefit Canada's economy.

This is my opinion.

You can still sit the IELTS and get CLB 10+ equivalent score.
Yeah you are right, land down under is also worth a look right now.

Dear all,

People who are not getting ita's even though their scores are 453 or above Need to analyze themselves why they haven't received the ita. Let me tell you the good reason, its not about scoring high its about factors also need to be looked at. Cic is not a welfare to give ita's to everyone who ever scores high. Your age, experience relevant education also means alot to cic. Cic does not want people to reside and live in canada they want us to grow their economy, to pay taxes and contribute your role in making the economy better.

So don't believe in your scores believe what you can contribute in Canada that's worth understanding
