Showing +0/-0 so doesn't look it. Maybe you were posting lots on a thread that got deleted. The stars are based on number of posts.

What difference does it make? ITA's are not based on stars :P
Kidding ok, dont take it personally as some of the others do here. :D

I wonder what the fuss about helping int'l students was all about! The new draw doesn't seem to make any difference. Last CRS before the "changes" was 472, int'l students get btw 15-30 extra. latest CRS 497! How did that really "help"?

It will help the following batch who had arnd 450 crs and have now jumped to arnd 480.

Congratulations, now you will definitely get an ITA in coming draws :D

Exactly!! The draws are still way above the CRS of an average international student (1 yr work experience, CLB 9 or 10 and 15 or 30 points). Worse is the reduction in ITAs

The score went up because a lot of international students were stuck at 469 - CLB10+ and 2 years of experience. That got them 499 this time around with the 30 points. Since these guys haven't been selected since express entry got implemented there must be a lot of them.

The next best for international students is 484, with 15 points extra and 496 with CLB 9 in one aspect and 10 in the other 3 aspects (having 2 years experience in both cases). I would expect the next draw to be around 481 or above to clear out these guys and then 474+ (1 year experience + 30 points education).

In the long run I'd say once the international students clear out the scores should drop. However, it will take some time so guys predicting 460 in Feb-March are probably right.

I'm at 468 so keeping my fingers crossed!!
 
How does that really help when the CRS has increased in the past 2 draws? It is giving with one hand and taking with the other!
