And to go with it in this report they mentioned it that the score not coming down below 450 is a matter of concern for stakeholders and it is a point to improve on so it definately will come down.

And they have also mentioned that reducing the LMIA points will bring significiant downward pressure on the score. So by all means they want score to go down.

I don't foresee any more draws this year now. 23 draws in 2015 and 24 in 2016. If there is no draw this year the scores may go high in the beginning of 2017 and might drop by March. IRCC makes only 22-25 draws per year and so there can be max. one more draw, but I don't see it happening this year. I wish they prove me wrong.

It will be worth watching for the change in processing time. They are going to receive 8000 application in 60 days !!!!!!!! Hope it does not affect the 6 months criteria

There will be as many draws as possible to fill the quota. Never heard of draw limits before. :-[

If you have read this you should provide a link. There will be 2-3 more draws in this year. Nov 30th and Dec 14th. Draws will happen not sure about Dec 28th. But 2 more draws will happen because they cant go with 50-60 days without a draw.

.

You have not read on official website. Official website does not have any about how many draws or frequency of draws. You should have read in this forum i suppose. It is all speculation.

no chance if you are not an int. graduate so far. what we will see and actually what we are seeing today is that most FWS wont have any other option but to go pnp that's why provinces will be more flexible for example we have already one province doing this.

Changes to Expression of Interest (EOI) Risk Assessment Factors Effective November 16, 2016. you no longer lose points if you have connections in another province.

@bestofluck - Minister John Mccallum was on a visit to Chandigarh, India last week and he said that there will be minimum 4 - 5 draws before the year end. You can see his video wherein he is addressing the crowd on youtube. Just type in John Mccallum Chandigarh visit and it should show you 2 to 3 videos where he mentions this. So I would not be surprised if there are 2 more draws this month and may be 2 more in December. They cannot have a huge gap of couple of months between 2 draws, it has never happened until now and I am sure it will never happen. Max gap between 2 draws has been 3 weeks i guess.
