Hello forum members,
Although it's very disheartening to see the recent draw don't lose your hope. There are a few things i observed with these recent trends
1. On November last year the number of ITA's issued was the same as of this year and it gradually increased and got into full phase in the first quarter of this year. I believe the same pattern will repeat.
2. CIC announced the new timestamp based system on June but it came into effect on November although the timeframe to develop the software should be considered, there are chances that they wanted to implement it with the fresh new yearly quota
3. Also last year they wanted to issue the leftover quotas which they had in the first two quaters of 2016 so third quater seen a bump in the ITA numbers. But this year the first two quaters they issued higher invites and a gradual decrease in the third quarter.
4. The last PNP and FSTW only draw might be a hint to know that the last years quota is exhausted and the new quota is starting
5. Also OINP staffs said that they will issue new NOI's based on next year's quota when they reopen later this year if this year's quota is over. High chànces that CIC also follows such trend.
May be CIC dont want scores to drop below 410 so congesting the pool for a while is the only way to fix the threshold. Also to note this new timestamp system is an advantage as CIC usually reduces or increases invites by a 100 to get a roundoff score, so early profile creaters will benefit from it, those at 432 will know its advantages better. I assume on November 2k ITAs will continue although we have a biweekly draw and from December the raise in ITAs issued will be high
All these stated above might go wrong as well these are just my two cents. But whatever happens the quota has seen a slight increase so more ITAs will follow sooner or later. Stay strong ..God bless us all..
You are 100% correct @Kakkarot . If we check the last year's December draw after the PNP draw in end of the November, less ITA were issued and 27 points up. In later draws, gradually the score got decreased and increased the number of ITAs. May be it will take 4 more draws to reach the score to 430
