I believe we could get to a safer conclusion as soon as they announce the 2016 report and see the number of applicants in each range.

The 53rd draw gave us (those between 430-450) a much needed ray of hope. First, the number of ITSAs are on the 3k mark, and even if it drops a little, they are still inviting a substantial number of candidates, which could lead to a major decrease in CRS cut-off.
Also, It showed that the video by the cic agent ( from may i think), saying that they are aiming for low 400s may be true and achievable sometime in the next few draws.

Wishiful thinking 54th, fev 8th, crs 430, 3500 ppl

Realistically thinking CRS 447, 3000 ppl

Wish your wishful thinking comes true ( waiting at 430) :(

Won't they accommodate these guys in the refugee quota or can they give away the share committed for express entry to refugees?

This guy said score is likely to drop to below 400. but this is before the additional points for international students. I believe that the new magic number is around 420-430. Those above 430 can really hope!

True that international students have additional points but at the same time candidates with job offer were getting 600 points where as now the r only getting 50 and in some cases max 200 points.

So i believe 400 is achievable. May not be immediately and ma be we see these number after the mid of year 2017

Anxiously waiting for year end report of 2016.

Can't say any thing until some clear announcement from the government.

Unconfirmed but in the pipeline. It won't hurt our chances!!!
 
I think Feb 8.

Does anyone think that the announcement of accepting refugees (after US ban) would lesser our chances Eg. since the number of applicants in refugee category might increase, could it cause a decrease in the number of ITA's starting from next draw)?
 
my gut says this draw wud come down by at least 7-8 points to 444-445 no. of ITA's doesnt matter.

Although im not sure, but by logic, as the score decreases, number of people at each point would increase, so doesn't 7-8 point drop seems a little unreasonable to you?
 
This thread remains almost silent in the first week after the last draw and suddenly starts buzzing as we approach the draw... Guys, are we aiming at 54 pages this time before the 54th draw? ;)
 
The next draw is going to be 449 and our minds will all be blown.

I think by the time they come out with the report, it would already be redundant since it would be having figures from 2016 end.
