Number if candidates in EE pool as of May 10, 2019
601-1200 317 (+44 candidates since April 12)
451-600 1,668 (-313 candidates since April 12)
441-450 5,360 (+950 candidates since April 12)
431-440 9,621 (+385 candidates since April 12)

According this source number of candidates adding up between 451-600 has been slow down. 600+ increased because of PNPs claims.

The 441-450 bucket has been rising since Jan 30th draw. Only hope i can see is the ITAs getting increased to 4000. And if the 451+ scoring candidates decrease drastically for atleast 2 months ,then this bucket will clear quickly. Hope that god is listening to our prayers.

Good to know info, Thanks for sharing!

Next two rounds of draw will be really crucial and most importantly, everyone is now concerned & hoping for increased number of ITA's. To achieve the yearly target, CIC would definitely need to make this major shift in terms of ITA's now (from 3,350 to 3,900). If this happens, we won't be even required back to back draws; and soon, cut-off will be back to 440-445 in next couple of draws.

4 weeks gap will definitely bring major changes for sure. Good luck everyone and let's be more patient now on!

Finally got PNP nomination. Now waiting for draw 118. I don't relish the thought of waiting till the score drops to 440 even though I can reach that score and wait at that score for about a year till I start losing points.

Okay, I did some maths in order to predict whether the number of ITAs would rise in the future or not.

I did the calculations on the basis of following information -
1. ITAs issued till now - 31750 (as of may 15)
2. Intake target for 2019 - 81400 (expected), 76000 (low), 86000 (high)

Based on that, we get three different scenarios-
Case 1 - Annual target - 81400.
Around 39% of the planned Invitations already issued.
That leaves with 61% to be covered in 7 months (i.e from June).
If that becomes the case, the ITAs must be increased from the next draw itself to at least 3500, if CIC wants to cover the annual target in time. (If it however still choses not to increase the number of ITAs, it ll have to increase it even further, probably to 3900, depending on how much it waits before opening the gates)

Case 2 - Annual target 76000.
About 41% target achieved.
About 45000 invitations still to be issued.
Spacing those out over two week draws, the number of invitations remain between 3200-3300 (which is the current scenario also.)
I don't think CIC will stick with this, but if it does, this ll spell disaster for the in line applicants.

Case 3 - Annual target 86000.
The best of all.
About 36% achieved. That makes 55000+ available.
Given 2 draws each month,
Invitations should be increased to at least 3900 to cover the annual target.

Assumptions -
1. Draws take place regularly at an interval of two weeks.
2. ITAs are increased from the next draw.
3. There is no wastage, i.e all ITAs issued are converted into PR's.

Now, I must say that these assumptions are not practical. They are just for calculation purpose.

There will surely be back to back draws. CIC may not increase ITA's from the next draw itself. And for sure, there is a lot of wastage, many ITA's fail to convert into PR's.
And all these, I must add, will only reduce the CRS cut off or push CIC to increase ITA's further (even if we adopt the pessimistic approach).

PS - Not an expert at this. Was just curious about this so did it. Might be wrong in my judgment or calculations. :)
