CIC will want to keep their 2 week interval so as to assure the CRS stability around the 430 cut offs. I believe the last draw after 23 days was a way to keep the scores from dropping too much. But again, brand new 3,749 profiles in a span of just 23 days just boggles my mind. 163 new profiles with CRS at or above 441 were added every day. Let's hope the draw happens at regular intervals for now if we want the score to drop
+1
I couldn't get my head around this either, I think someone mentioned any PNP express entry aligned applications could be in there to. Not sure why this would have been different to any other draw if they are consistent.
I imagine they do want to keep the CRS 430+ - there must be some set criteria used where they want to stop i.e. best age range, full language (first language), 1 year canada work experience and 3 years foreign.
If we say they were all new entrants and nothing to do with PNP, imagine how many people there must be clogging up the early 430s and 420s!!!!!!
With back to back draws I see the points maybe getting into the late 420's, however miss a week or 2 and boom thats going to be back up.
My only hope now is to re-do my IELTS test and that will get me an ITA unless the points go back over 460.
