"My Viewpoint"
Well, there were 5000+ people (above 470) into the pool right before the "PNP & CEC specific draws" which held on *19-20 Aug* and the data shows the influx of applications available into the pool till 18th Aug !
So, considering the data we should deduct the number of applications which received ITAs in the previous draws!
Particularly, ITAs received in the previous rounds of invitations were:
PNP+CEC: 600+3300= 3900
However, 470+ Applications in the pool till 18 Aug were: 5672
So, (Available applications - ITAs received)
5672-3900= 1772
Thus, after the previous draws the 470+ applications left into the pool were approx 1772 + few additional applications (which might haved entered the pool on/or after the draw).
Hence, majority of CEC applicants have received the ITA and out of the pool. Therefore, the the remaining applications into the pool would be of FSW folks. Consequently, the very next draw could be a general All Program Specific draw and there would be a decrease of 1-3 points for sure making the cut-off at 473-475 !
Stay forever hopeful. Good luck guys.
[Edit to my previous post]
I forgot to consider the 450s and 460s initially.
So, lets consider nearly half the number of 450s and all of the 460s applications:
5000 + 8506 + 5672= 19178 were the applications which were considered during the previous PNP & CEC draws respectively. Out of which 3900 got the ITAs.
So, 19178 - 3900 = 15278 are the applications still there within the range of 455 - 470s. As, all of the CEC applicants from 480-600 have already got the ITA!
Apparently this analysis is over-interpreted and thus is inserted with significant personal anticipation that obfuscated the very simple reality:
(TL; DR): every 4 weeks there are approximately 3300-4000 or more profiles with CRS score higher than the previous round are entering the EE pool, which could be either new profiles or old profiles with updated CRS scores due to one more year Canadian work experience.
We just need to look at the previous three CEC-specific invitations, which had a 4-week gap between each other.
June 25, cut-off score 431, 3508 people invited.
July 23, cut-off score 445, 3343 people invited.
Aug 20, cut-off score 454, 3300 people invited.
The number of invitations in each round is quite similar, especially for the ones in July and the one in August. Every day there are people celebrating their work anniversaries thus meeting the minimum eligibility requirements of CEC, or gaining more CRS points. The 4-week gap seems to gain approximately 3300-4000 or even more profiles with CRS score higher than the previous round that push the cut-off score, which seems to be more reasonable for the overall immigration system. Remember: the EE system will add the score for one more year Canadian work experience on the first date of each month.
