I got my master equivalency from IQAS on 26th and this bumps my score to 476, hoping for the draw today. Fingers crossed.

Lol, y'all better calm down lol. There will a draw today, it's not too late to see one.
Speculation time!
Guys, how do you think, how much the French points policy solely will affect the draw?
I was doing some rough calculations, just out of curiosity:
Let's assume that 470 points could be today's cut-off (without the new policy).
Looking at the last distribution of points, there are around 20K people between 451-470. These people can potentially benefit from the French points and jump into the 471-490 category after acquiring +20 points, which almost guarantees their ITA in the draw.
Now how many of them are bilingual and will get those +20 points? Statistics show that around 5% of total immigrants speak French. However, it is unknown how many of them are bilingual. So, assuming they are all bilingual, we take the 5% out of those potential 20K, we have 1K people max who will get the points for French and get into a higher score range. Now from that 1K, 500 could get into 471-480 range and another 500 - into 481-490 range.
That said, the final number of candidates in the 471-480 range will jump from 2400 to around 3K. And with another rough distribution, we get an increase of 2 or 3 points to the score, and the final cutoff score could be 474.
Again, just rough calculations, but who knows!
Meanwhile, I am sitting right at 474, and praying

Excuse me? The timings for the last 2 draws has been 8:30 local time where i live and its still an hour to go for it. Dont unnecessarily create panic.
Looks like there's definitely a draw today. I have been trying to log into my account since I received an email that I have some account info but I can't seem to login.
Good luck everyone. Today is my last hope at 469 as loose 5 points on the day of the next draw. If it doesn't happen French route it is... I wish everyone the best and congratulations in advance to those who'll get lucky today.
