I think the reason be coronavirus issue, CEC program helps to reduce number of immigrants flying to Canada, favoring in-Canada candidates

I get the point of having PNP/CEC only.

The problem is that CEC processing is badly backlogged. Now if they are doing PNP/CEC only again, which means more cases sent to Ottawa for each draw, they won't have enough capacity to process them.

Got your point.

I think IRCC will allocate more manpower to that. If the processing speed is slower than the number of invitation, then there is no such thing called "Express Entry" where "express" here means "fast". Indeed, before Express Entry was introduced in 2015, PR was based on first-come-first-served and it could take years for an application to be processed, simply because too many prior applications.

Yep, hopefully they can have more manpower to process backlog cases. Finger crossed XD

Very disappointing scenario. My score is 468 and was hoping to get an ITA this time. If the all program ITA happens on 20th jan, what could be the cut off score?
