Granted they're popular... Granted most of the people applying are the ones in US or leftover from other unsuccessful immigration plans... Wouldn't that indicate a spike in other areas of the score table as well??... Or are 100% of those people coming in above 471??...i know that I'm being pedantic but this seems a bit unnatural.There is no point in resorting to conspiracy theories. The reality is EE is very very popular around the world and that has been reflective in the upward trend of scores since January last year when the CRS score came down to 438!
