But still if we get NBPNP or PEI PNP....

As per rules we have to work in that province(which granted you PNP). its very hard to get the respective job in NB or PEI.

so only option is to depend on Ontario to open its PNP stream in November.

Any idea, if we can work for Ontario province though we got nomianated by NP or PEI.

If the cutoff score is set for a quarter, then why did the scores suddenly rise in May in the middle of a quarter/halfway through a quarter?

Good point....!

I think the comment I saw probably said ITA quotas are set quarter-by-quarter then - so not the cut-off scores - they will fluctuate with job-offer and PNP candidates every 2 weeks.

Guys, I am very confused, need your advice ... I have been express entry pool since March 16.. have scored 456 on CRS, single, will complete 34 yrs in nov 16 - so 5 points are gona get deducted further, education - Masters from United States in Construction Management, 6 yrs of experience in india and US .. Now, seeing the trends of cut offs scores recently, I have lost all hope of getting Canadian PR. Shld I opt for Australia PR or wait for any change in immigration policies for Canada? If Ontario starts issuing PTs in November, do i really stand a chance of getting it? Kindly advice. Thanks in advance.
We don't know - we all want to know as well

My suggestion is just wait a little while, the 'changes' that are supposed to be happening are supposed to be in the next few months, if you've been waiting since March, then it's not going to hurt you to wait a bit longer - give yourself the deadline of your birthday ::)

Legally yes - the freedom of movement act means you can't be stopped from living anywhere you want in Canada

Morally no...NP or PEI are nominating you to live and work in their province. Also either one may ask you to sign a statement saying you'll stay in the province for a certain amount of time. If they are then lead to believe that you had no intention of residing in NP or PEI but just wanted the nomination, then your PR can be revoked on entry to Canada.

This is all stupid speculation.

The only reason cutoff is high is CIC wants to keep invites low. Why ? Only they know.
You are wrong, Its not just them, God also knows! (In case you are not an atheist)

Morally??!!??
Where is Government sense of morality?
At least let people know what the h*ll they are doing and do not leave so many people in a limbo.

Yeah, but I don't really blame the PNPs for that. The PNPs are willing to nominate many of the candidates that EE is failing, so they give some a lifeline.

Some PNPs are just as bad at communication (i.e. OINP), but at least the AINP state it on the website how many people are in the queue and the date of the applications currently being processed - that's more than IRCC are doing.

I wish I could apply to OINP when it opens. I unfortunately cannot show funds of 12k over 6 months as I do not have it. Plus it is a damn tall order to try and earn that in India in less than 4 months. Just not gonna happen, so I will have to simply rely on EE ITA. Ffs.

Sorry to hear about you having to head back raven00090. I may have to as well in a couple of months. I hope us CEC applicants who've been hard done by the recent increase in scores have a turn of luck by the end of the year at least.

I wanted to ask if you made any changes to your EE profile? I was wondering since my PGWP expired on Aug 4 and I've applied for an open work permit ext. I did stop working as of Aug 4 to be on the safe side, would i need to update my EE profile with that info?
And as a CEC applicant without a valid job to show that I can sustain myself in the country now, is there another way to apply for PR without having to show POF? or showing POF the only option without a valid job?

With 714 candidates being invited to apply for immigration to Manitoba and around 600 for British Columbia, will it affect CRS score in the upcoming draws?
