Reference to 18th Jan data; 431-460 have 6600 applicants and monthly on average 4500 profiles add up in this range...
So in my view below will be happening if two draws occured with 2750 ITAs:
Feb: 7000 current profiles - 5000 ITA/mon + 4500 new profiles/mon
March: 6500 - 5000 + 4500
April: 6000 - 5000 + 4500
May: 5500 - 5000 + 4500
June: 5000 - 5000 + 4500.....

So, there is higher probability that CRS score will drop below 430 from April-May 2018

Hi All,

Do we need reference letters from all my previous employers, because bosses have changed and those teams no longer exists. I do have offer and relieving letters. Any other alternative for this?

Hi Guys, can someone please tell me that how much was the Immigration target via EE for 2017 and how much is for 2018?
And with the current trend, approximately by when we can expect score to touch 435?

Good going Sandeep. I am at my max, French language is among many other priorities, so is studies, but will take time, age will further plummet my score, but I shall wait and watch. Miracles do happen. So staying hopeful.
All the best and wish you all the success I will think on french after CLB 10 but I feel if I get to 428 that would be good and I will invreasi my chances for direct ITA rather than going through PNP but only if scores go down...well all the best is required for all of us :D

Hi;
I am applying under CEC and put $3000 as proof of fund since I don't need to show the proof of fund for CEC.
I am wondering if I show $3000 from my saving account from a Canadian bank over six month with monthly statement, will it be sufficient?

Thanks for the response. But my doubt is - I do have a home loan (which is a debt) with a different bank. Is it a matter of concern to them or CIC does not care as long as I show their required proof of funds?

Extracting the words from the CIC website "For proof, you must get official letters from any banks or financial institutions where you are keeping money" and followed by "list outstanding debts such as credit card debts and loans" and then followed by "include, for each current bank and investment account"

Thanks in advance for the clarification.
declaration of debt/no-debt is not a mandatory/stringent requirement. as many banks are not willing to write it down on the official letter.

Realistically, what kind of time frame are those just shy of 440 (438) looking at? I know it's mostly guesswork but I haven't really been keeping up with all the behind the scenes goings on at CIC and would appreciate a reasonable guesstimate.

Don't want to be pessimistic and I wish your calculations are correct, but cic can spoil all of this by just skipping one draw.

In 2017 CIC issued 86k ITA, keep the fact aside that this year EE quota increased; Let suppose in 2018 they will issue same number of ITAs then there are 81k ITAs left...This mean to cover same number of ITAs like last year they have to conduct draw after 2 weeks time with atleast 3000 invitation each.....

Anyhow i am not selling dreams here, Just doing some maths and spreading Ray of Hope :)
