I just mentioned those 2 cases as example, the current average intake to the pool has been pretty much the same or slightly increasing in the last few months and PNP is a very minor contributor to the high cut offs. Only around 10% of the ITAs issued goes to PNP folks which averages just around 400 in each draw out of the 3900 ITAs issued.
Also, I don't think there is any announcement happening when PNP nominations are being given to applicants as these cases are individually assessed and approved at different times. Only when invitations are issued for PNP by the various provinces, there is an announcement.
