Because he hasn't done a good research, I would say. For example, we have EE BC PNP are conducting draws every month, for international grad and postgrad students, skilled workers.

I don't know about other PNP, but for BC PNP you can calculate the total ITAs here:

https://www.welcomebc.ca/Immigrate-to-B-C/B-C-Provincial-Nominee-Program/Invitations-to-Apply

And based on the information from the BC PNP whatsapp group, the acceptance rate is pretty high.

Thanks! This is the type of information I was asking about.
So as far as I understood, to the October 12 draw they contributed 325 applicants to the pool? Is my understanding correct?

There has been no disagreement. As to link/source, this is factual information. Quotas are published, statistics are published, by all means go and take a look.

Yes, then they will continue with the EE process. The other will go with paper-based PR. Another thing is the processing time of BC PNP is very fast, usually around 3 months only, not like OINP.

May I have your source which says PNP has no effect on EE's quota?

472 sounds realistic. Likely a lot of people sitting at 471 (masters grads with 1 year Canadian experience), which might not get cleared in this draw.

You are correct.
In addition Ontario is also pumping tons of nominations.

I won't be surprise to see number of ITA to go high, considering the fact that only 23,000 ITA has been issued so far under express entry which is way lower then the target immigration quota for year 2016.

I have no hope from Ontario PNP, I applied all the way back in December 2015 and still waiting. My post-graduate work permit runs out in June 2017, so I'm hoping I get an ITA by then otherwise bye-bye Canada.

Yup, it's so expensive and has a freaking long processing time. I'm so glad that I declined OINP's ITA back in November.

As of now, BC PNP is the best PNP so far in Canada. Online registration, online application, 3 months processing time, $550 fee, great scoring and draw system. No one can beat that.

many people guessed there were tons of people sitting at 481 a couple of days ago, but it is not true. So there would not be as many 471ers as you think.

There is no "EE quota". Each immigration category has a particular immigration target. The categories can be changed, as happened this year with FSW, FST and CEC as well as the pre-EE backlog having to come from the same fixed target.

Only 15-20% or so of PNP comes through EE. The rest is non-EE. PNP has its own target. PNP has no bearing whatsoever on the low cut-off score.

You can google 'cic supplementary targets for 2016' and read the footnotes too. Also review CIC EE statistics and see how it has been broken down against the target per category. You can also read the EE 2015 report which explains how EE is designed to work against targets for various immigration categories. There are also numerous sources announcing an increase in EE PNP allocation for example.

You also don't seem to understand how targets works. Targets are landings per immigration category.

If you don't know how EE works and if you're not satisfied with a response, then do your own research to find an answer to either confirm or rebut.
