What is the mystery of Second Draw?

[hariskhan]

It was there before. Confirmed, its gone now. They'v done something to the info about Feb 7-8th 2015 draw info on that page.

Looks like CIC is working on their website.

I just checked the Express Entry rounds of invitations page. It shows "CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited" to be 818. For the first draw, the lowest score was 886.

Also, under the heading Results: Rounds of invitations on the above mentioned page, it says;

Ministerial Instructions respecting invitations to apply for permanent residence under the Express Entry system #2 – February 7, 2015 11:59:59

Seeing this on CIC website for the FIRST TIME. Guys, it could be that due to the system being new, these things are happening.

As with every new system, things may go strange initially.

Dude get over it. The second draw is done. Wait for the third one.

CIC twitter confirmed second draw and round of invitations showed second draw. Let's move on to the third one.

If things like such keep on going, how are we going to know about the future draw, only if this forum was not there, we would have been in deep shit !!! Anyways, any guesses about next draw date?

I'd guess either February, 14 (assuming they will continue doing weekly draws), or February, 28 (the last day of the month). Both are Saturdays, btw, just the way CIC loves it.

Desperately waiting for draws picking up applicants without LMIA and PNP !

Yeah, I really hope that the cutoff score drops to at least 500-something in the next draw.

I second that!
I think the score in the 3rd draw would be lingering somewhere in the 700's. Lower the CRS score falls, more are the applicants qualifying.
Once in crosses below 750, them the fall will be very high. Like 550 or something!
If you're an applicant without LMIA or PNP, the you must wait until atleast the next 3 or 4 draws.
Hopefully, next month we might get lucky! ( assumming 779 draws are carried every week end! )

I didn't liked what you said lol, but technically you might be correct, however even with this 779 thing every weekend won't fill their quota for this year so they have to increase the number of ITAs, and only a few people more would be having more than 600 points I guess, have you calculated the total quota for PNP for each province participating in EE??

I think that the mystery is solved: cic. gc. ca/ english/ express-entry/ rounds.asp

No program specified

Number of invitations issued CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited

1. You should probably calculate that there are about 2 persons (applicant & spouse) for each application.

According to the spreadsheet, only half the candidates apply with a spouse.
