Do you guys have any idea when the next draw is going to be and what is the quota for 2016 so we can estimate how many invitations left for this year?
The quota for 2016 is done. It reflects number of applicants who will LAND in 2016. They are working on 2017 arrivals already.
 
Guys I live in Canada and I know the profile of inland candidates. This is what has happned...after Nov 19th

1. Lot of students who studied in Canada will be now getting 15 to 30 points for education
2. Lot of people of PGWP and WP (Working for IT companies ) will be getting 50 to 200 points for their Jobs which now does not require LMIA
3. Provincial Nominees dont require LMIA
4. NAFTA workers dont require LMIA

All this is going to push up the average score by 30 to 50 points at least. I dont think the scores will drop below 480 for a significant time. Again this is my guess and it depends on number of invitations

#2 is not correct: at least PGWP cannot get 50 or 200 points, since they are open work permit. Here is the definition of non-LMIA jobs that can get 50 or 200 points: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/exempt.asp

We dont have data for "lot of", but I believe the score will drop below 480 this year.

Yeah PGWP is not exempt status but rather not necessary to have one.

Don't try to act like you know what you are talking about. Spreading false info is an awful thing to do.
 
Though I'm sitting at 473, I don't think that the next draw could be something lower than 480. Though I'm hopeful about the last draw of December (assuming that there will be two draws this month).

If you think positively, ALL PNP are cleared in last draw and there won't be many nominations before next draw, in addition LMIA are now only getting 50 points so that all stuff provides more hopeful situation and if number of ITAs around 2500 then we can hope for CRS somewhere near to 470 as it was before the changes.
 
Hey I assume all of you have checked the latest drawing results.

Only 559 got ITA and they are all under provincial nominee program.

I saw a few posts before me discussing how the changes of crs system can boost some applicants' score.

Is the drawing result meeting your expectation? What do you think about it? Why did CIC not issue over 1000 ITA this time? Did anyone calculate so far how many people got ITA this year?

Lots of interesting things going on. I am curious about how the new game rules will impact you guys.
 
Sitting at 488 with a bucket full of hope. It's so near I can taste it :P

On a different note winter is officially here in Northern ON, my car almost slid and hit a minivan this morning ::)

Don't you think there will be another ~500 PNP nominees in the pool again? there are always PNP nominees in the pool of every draw, yet from draw 47th to 48th, we still have more than 500 of them.

It's possible, but I get the impression there was 0 thought behind this - it was a knee jerk reaction to ensure that no one would be accepted that wouldnt have to be rejected due to the technical errors.

I'm going to guess that the next draw will be for all streams, however may be "higher" ~480. After that there'll be one more before Christmas, hopefully dropping to ~460. So sayeth the hamster.
