Currently, about 24,632 ITAs in 2017 (including this last draw). Hoping for a drop next week.

It would be good to have a draw on the 29th, but I think we might not have one.

Guys, congratulations to all who made it. I had a hunch that there would be a draw today, but I didn't expect the CRS to increase.

Anyway, does anyone know the cumulative ITAs issued in 2017 so far?
The next draw will definitely show a dip.

Until March 1 draw, total ITA's issued 20,883.

This should serve as a reminder to people. Do all you can to increase your score rather than waiting for the scores to drop. The movement of the scores is highly unpredictable and is out of your control. Do whatever it takes to get the score by doing things within your control - improve language scores, get more education, more work experience, PNP, positive LMIA job.

Congrats brother!!..I saw you getting very anxious the other day and now you have made it. Cheers!!

That's exactly my thought. The draws are unpredictable. Do the best you can with what you can control - your points.

The only country in the world that has Canadian dollars is Canada. It's fine.

Yes, it is. It needs to be in Canadian Dollars - meaning, when you convert it to Canadian Dollars you have the amount needed.
