Alright people.. it is time for a time goddamn out! Since last week I am seeing so many negative comments by
"EXPERTS", saying that CRS is never going to fall below 415 or 400. I have received few private messages from people, sitting above 400 feeling devasted by such comments as they are letting their hope go.
This thread is
"Ray of Hope", remember? I am not being idealistic here... truth be told, I have a realistic approach but it looks like everyone is avoiding to see the bigger picture.
I am just considering FSW here and taking it as a whole (not considering 2.1 shite) since other streams will also eventually be included in the pool and will receive ITA or are already in the pool waiting for their turn just like us.
Till the 61st draw, a total of 39,789 ITAs is issued. 73,000 - 39,789 = 33,911 ITAs to be issued (at least). So what on earth for most of you, if not all are so disappointed and feeling low to the ground. The number of people in the pool is decreasing gradually. New one's joining in doesn't matter as long as total number keeps on falling.
Secondly, those who are worried about the June changes, I am saying it all again, People with siblings and above 400 will most probably will already be through before the changes come into effect, however, even if they are there or join in later, they will fall at 415 and will be out in very next draw. Similarly, people below 400 receiving additional points will fall in early 400 (less than 410) and will be out in the next couple of draws (only if there is an abundant amount i.e. 6K or so candidates, otherwise just one draw is enough to handle them). The number of ITAs issued each draw, is pretty obvious, will remain high for the rest of the year (circling around 3.2-3.5K ITAs per draw)
The situation is pretty cool and in very good shape, why you all are so worried? Losing points because of age, also doesn't matter. The most you can lose is 5 points and then you can stay there for another year, meanwhile, it is pretty clear to me, you will be through anyway before your next birthday.
Cheer up goddamnit!
