I just want to make a rough analysis here... Lets assume during this transition there are 3 categories of Profile : Category A - those with LMIA having their points drop from 600 to 50 or 200 , Category B - Those without LMIA getting additional points 50 or 200 points, Category C - those having canadian study factor , getting 15 to 30 points .
Since we are assuming lots of profiles falling in category A , reducing 400-550 points drastically puts them at their worst out of contention , or at their best still competing with CRS scores of 450 and above .
As for profiles in B category only the profiles previously around 420's and above will stand to benefit from this as most of them will only gain 50 points (not considering too many in NOC 00 category getting 200 points , which i presume will be subject to lot of paper work and scrutiny)
For those in C category will be mostly benefitted if they were previously hovering around mid 440's or above by gaining advantage of those 15-30 points .
My question is approximately... How many of them fall in each of the categories(purely made up by me for the sake of understandign , No such categories exist) i had listed above ... This will help us to guage the situation of the pool better !!
