And here is my two cents.
1 - It is too early to predict anything.
2 - Even if we have enough data, we could still be wrong ( proven multiple times in the past).
3 - CIC is unpredictable. They will do anything anytime.
4 - Sometimes the analysis here makes sense. Most don't.
5 - Even the best analysis with data backing is based on a trend. I used to see a lot sensible analysis a few months back. I see less and less of that off-late. Maybe many got their ITA and moved on or they are waiting for more data instead of posting drivel.
6 - We have not had enough ITA's after the November 19th changes to make any sense of anything. Hence till the middle of March or till the year end report comes in, it's all mostly going to be drivel. Please take everything with a pinch of salt.
7 - Your Hamster or Crystal balls might be more accurate considering that we have no data to back up any of this at the moment.
8 - If you do not own a Hamster or crystal ball, there are people who claim to speak to agents every single day on the phone. They are as accurate as the hamster.
9 - This is the Ray of Hope thread. Hope is an emotional feeling which goes beyond logic and hard facts most of the time. Even when everything seems to go against us, we still live on hope. Looking for that ray to shine through. So enjoy that feeling.
10 - End of the day, do whatever it takes to increase your scores. Try LIMA. Try PNP. Go to study. Learn French. Improve your English. Whatever it takes. And then hope for the best.
11 - Your welcome.
