The 47th Draw

[SeanXL]

Anyone called CIC if they would have a draw on 16th NOV before the new policy kicks in?

No point calling. CIC call centre staff won't know and aren't given this information.

Very unlikely for a draw before the new policy kick in.

Why? I personally really don't see the reason for not drawing on this Wednesday.

There is high chance of draw before new policy to clear out existing LMIA holder.

Please show the maths to support this statement. It's just as likely that there will be no draw in order for IRCC to implement the internal changes. Guessing helps nobody.

Apologizes but it's just my opinion that if all the profile with LMIA gets ITA before new changes then it's easier for cic to implement changes.
Meaning any new profile with LMIA after 19th will get 200/50 points and cic won't have worry about existing LMIA profiles.

I also think this way too.. and to be fair. CIC should give a chance to ppl already in the pool with LMIA. Cause ppl currently in the pool were expecting to have the 600 pts. Just IMO

There will be a draw this coming Wednesday - the last draw under the existing CRS scheme.

Note: All changes will be in place as of November 19, 2016. However, some foreign nationals might not see their Comprehensive Ranking System score change for several days. All scores will be updated before the next round of invitations to apply.

This implies that there will not be a draw this week.

But can we say next means the next one after new policy?

Before the next round of invitations AFTER November 19!

From the same link:

Applications for permanent residence for foreign nationals invited to apply before November 19, 2016 will be assessed based on the previous Ministerial Instructions.

This does not in itself imply there's going to be another draw this Wednesday, but trust me there will be one.

Good catch man, this would be my highest possibility to get an ITA this year.
Finger crossed.

Thanks,
