Sorry, but why is it good that there's no draw today?
I didn't make that statement, I am yet to even enter the pool. I also feel no draw is good until I enter the pool at 423 with bachelor's degree.

This is because less frequent draws initially will increase pressure to meet yearly target and lead to more frequent draws later causing cut off to dip giving a chance to people like us at 420s. Is this true or am I missing something?
 
You never know...CRS scores that can suddenly increase by 18 points can also drop by 18 points from one round as well...It will definitely drop and everyone knows that...I think it will even reach 420's or mid 410's.
Be blessed!
 
It's great to understand the H1B folks' point of view. Just have one question to them. Do all or most of them carry higher CRS scores like >450?
It would be helpful for us (non H1B) people to determine the future CRS trend and how H1Bs could influence it.
Thanks

i think they will lie in the range of 400 to 440. most of them are probably aged out 33+ and probably would not do so well in IELTS. plus not all have masters degrees and even if they do its probably from some indian university which will take 88 years to generate a transcript.

Well it could also happen that IRCC choose not to meet their yearly targets.

I would say H1B folks could be a huge threat, coz their volume is quite high. Clearing the IELTS and other requirements must be relatively easy for them, when compared to an applicant from their home country and PPR processing is super fast for H1B applicants as they have already underwent all scrutiny with their H1B.

So I'd say yes their scores should be higher than the cut-off mostly.

This H1B --> CIC trend has hit the roofs because of the new rules H1B imposed in Feb. Just use the below link to check the availability to give an IELTS exam, we are just in March and Jul/Aug is the next available slot at most centers in US.

The next couple of draws should give a clear picture.

88 years :D a highly conservative estimate!

Well, that will not be the case because IRCC already got minimum (FSW, FST & CEC) target-72,200 and maximum target-78,200. Their main target is 74,400 which they can bring down to 72,200 and maximize up to 78,200 or can have any number between them.
