Is there any expiry for ita? I may sound stupid but what I mean to ask is that once you recieve an ita you must accept in any specific duration to accept or just continue with uploading documents for 60 days.
I have the same question, I saw I received the ITA in my IRCC profile but have not opened yet as I am preparing some documentation I know I need

Additional question concerning ITA - is it possible to start the application, but "save and exit" prior to the payment of fees? I almost have all the required docs

No, this draw only had 383 candidates with PNP nominations (600+ candidates).



Definitely not. Based on the previous draw, the rate of new candidates in the 470+ range was around 300 candidates/DAY (DAY! NOT BIWEEKLY).
Sure, it's hard to guess if that rate will continue, since we had a PNP/CEC in the middle, which only partially reduced the candidates in the 470+ rage. But, anything below 150-200 candidates/day is just an extremely optimistic (and unrealistic) guess.
It was not 300/day, a total of 1,079 joined between last draw and yesterday in the 470+. The difference between the total 470+ in the last draw and that of yesterday will give you the right answer. 300/day simply means over 3,000 persons joined, which is not the case

hi everyone, I hope someone could help me on this question pertaining FSWP ,
I am currently doing a co-op internship which has been going for 8 months now and will be over by the end of august . however I have been offered to stay as a part-time student with them for the following year . My question is : I know that the paid student experience acquired is counted towards this program as long as it's a full year without interruption full time or it's equivalent part time . But i'm wondering if the way i'm doing it works as well ? i have worked full time for 8 months now ( so 30 hours x 33 weeks = 990 hours) and will be working part time until april (which will be, let's say 20 hours x 30 weeks = 600 hours) , so by the end of it if I will have worked 1590 or more hours(which is more than the 1560 required) , will I be eligible to apply to this program ? (in other words, does starting full time and doing the rest part time still make me eligible as long as the number of hours is met) Thank you very much for your guidance

Yes, I do agree that 300 candidates would need some extrapolation, so you're correct. Yet, let's do some math:

On draw 155, there was 7656 candidates with 470-1200 points
Them, IRCC invited 3900, putting that number down -3900.
The following draw, it invited again 3900 candidates, but of course not all 3900 ITAs went to 470+ candidates, since it was a PNP/CEC draw, so let's assume 50% went to 470+ candidates... so that number went -1950.
According to data provided by IRCC yesterday, now the 470-1200 range has 6860.

So: 7656-3900-1900 + X = 6860

X = 5004 candidates added in the pool between July 6th and August 4th.
So, it gives an average of 172 candidates/day added to the 470+ range daily during the month of July.

If we consider just the last 2 draws (which I don't think is ideal, since I believe the delta should be between General Draws):
Draw 156-157 (PNP/CEC): there was 5781 candidates with 470+, and let's assume 50% of the ITAs went to 470+ candidates.
Draw 158: 6860 candidates in the pool

5781 - (3900/2) + X = 6860
X= 3029

So, yes, around 3,000 people joined the pool between each draw, but since the difference in days between each data point is 18 days, the actual rate is: 168 candidates/day.

So, yes, working with 300 would be an overestimate, but working with +300 during 2 weeks is WAYYYY below the reality as well.
Ideally, people should work between 150-200 candidates/day as a good guess.

Ok, that was unexpected!
I'm relieved, so there's no risk of a FST delaying future draws and buffering the pool.

Also, makes very likely that next draws will continue to be general ones.
