Hi all,

Those 455+ what do you think of 7th draw? How many people do we have 455+? What is your score?

Im at 457 waiting for next draw, i hope points will not increase again.

Good luck all

I am 468. To me 7th draw wasnt shocking or unexpected. I was quietly laughing at people claiming that scores will drop to 380 soon.. What would be the point of this system if they allowed such a low human capital scores so fast. I think that the next draw will be 925 ITA again and score anywhere between 450-470.

I believe that the target of 25000 is something to handle with care. Last year I was in CEC 2014 submission and I was rejected because they drop the target from 12000 to 8000. Surely 25000 includes FSW etc... but I'm concerned so far... I have 456 and I don't understand how many people can be in the range 400-600... it's a lot of points, and really people without Canadian experience are out of the game up to now.
If new EE profiles are created every months in a range of 1.5-2k+ I believe there is a good probability that the range could be very high until year end.
There are an average 2k ITA to be sent within the end or the year per month... I believe we could have surprise if they want to keep the score high, i.e. decrease of the 25000 target by July and about 900 ITA until year end.

hope I'm really wrong...

I personally believe they will keep the score above 450 in order to leave room for LIMA and PNP applicants. Next draw will be very important. There might be a CEC only draw as well. I am at 457 with Masters from Canada and with almost two years of Canadian work experience. I am just waiting. I hope I get ITA soon, this is very stressful.

IMO anyone above 450 shouldn't sweat. Anything below that becomes a grey area.

Hi,
I'm 459

I think they don't plan to decrease the score below 450 anytime soon.

I think they had to increase the first draw in April so that they can reduce the score slightly to 450+ range for the second April draw, this will buy time for those that will get PNP and LMIA as well as in time for when job bank will become functional.

All in all, I don't think the score is going to drastically reduce anytime soon.

I hope this is the case as I don't plan to spend money on spouse ECA just for 10points

Don't worry, anyone above 450 can chill. Its only a matter of time. However for Anyone below 400 have reasons to be worried.

I 'm at 499 :)
The previous two draws were a shock to me and I think this is a common feeling. I know of 5 other school mates who were shocked by the drop as well and are now scrambling to get their docs together for the next draw because they are 470+. I expected the scores to drop below 600 by mid summer so I didn't bother to redo my English test earlier. I've got mine scheduled for Saturday so fingers crossed I'll get an ITA.

I think that there are lots of people out there with high scores who didn't expect the scores to drop this soon in the game and are unprepared. Personally I don't think the score is going to go below 450 in the next draw.

We are forgetting that in this draw, they only issued 925 ITAs. Now, if they choose 1600+, the score would most likely drop to 440s.
