Nope but if you resign before submitting your eAPR you would have to update your profile with the ending date.Sralf said:Wow thx for the prompt reply. I just created an individual post lol Anyway, do I need to inform CIC about the resign?

Haha, Linear Regression. How cutetj4canada said:Only raining on my own parade here, but linear regression on data from Dec until today indicates that the greatest impact comes from number of ITAs.
I see, just one more clarification for PCC. If the last time I left China is Feb,2016, technically the PCC is all good as long as my parents can get the PCC after that date right?Sralf said:Wow thx for the prompt reply.

172,500 is the total quota for ALL economic programs, not just Express Entry. The correct quota number is 67,600 to 75,300 for this year, and this number also doesn't equal to Express Entry's ITA. In 2016, the target for economic immigration was 58,400, but only 33,782 ITAs were issued.tj4canada said:Only raining on my own parade here, but linear regression on data from Dec until today indicates that the greatest impact comes from number of ITAs. Depending on how you estimate, 172,500/ approx 2 per ITA / 26 draws per year = avg ITA of 3300. I think the scores are going to stay relatively steady.

I tried a few different sets of variables, and number of ITAs is pretty close.
Last year they also had paper based backlogs, which have all been processed. Also the processing times have been reduced to 6 months or less on most applications. So hopefully they don't have to reduce the number of ITA's.Alexios07 said:172,500 is the total quota for ALL economic programs, not just Express Entry.

One of my theory is the ITA could go down again later this year, thus cut off score will sky rocket again.

Draws will always be of 2500-3000ish size the rest of the year. The reason there were less in 2016 is paper based applications from 2014 were still being processed. Before EE, all PR applications were paper based and took around 2 years to process. In 2016, the quota that was not met on EE was met with paper applications. Now in 2017, all PR quotas will be met through EE. Thus, invitations should remain steady-ish all year. Best of luck to us all!!!Alexios07 said:172,500 is the total quota for ALL economic programs, not just Express Entry.

There's no way they can clear all the backlog. Last time I checked, they still have around hundred of thousands of applications that need to process (09/2016 data). In addition, there's still paper-based PR application for several PNP streams, like BC PNP skill immigration stream. One of my friends still has his paper application in process since December 2015.arrayofhope said:Last year they also had paper based backlogs, which have all been processed.

Last yr they said 50% will come from EE. In 2017 they said majority of them will come from EE means 80-85%. With your analysis 33,782 ITAs issued in 2016 and mind you in 6-7 months from april to october the ITAs were 750 because of refugees so take it into account as well.Alexios07 said:172,500 is the total quota for ALL economic programs, not just Express Entry.
