I agree with many people here. Points are going to drop to around 500 (people with no LMIA or PNP) and then stabilize there, further decreasing with small amounts
I think it will be 800 or even higher than 818 last draw.
I already know somebody has job offer with LMIA and only got 785. So don't assume that they only select people with LMIA or PNP. they are still people in the pool with Valid job offer with LMIA.
Because he got 0 for education ( No ECA yet) age 40, Language 55, 0 human transferabilty...
I think they will have a set number of ITA's that they want issued so they dont overwhelm CIC staff and they will play round with the numbers abit.
It will still be those who have PNP or LMIA. Maybe CEC's will get lucky but I doubt it.
Unless they start to make it NOC specific which i suspect will happen in the next couple of months, because with an election on the horizon they will want to make sure they can justify why they are letting in immigrants (considering all the angst CIC get on their facebook ads about express entry) during times where there are large amounts of lay offs. Using NOC codes will allow them to say they are hiring for skill shortages.
All in all I think its pointless to predict scores.
I'm of the opinion that a draw will be announced soon for CEC applicants who are already in the pool. Might be 4th draw. You never know the next stunt CIC will pull :
Lets all be hopeful and plan ahead. Cheers
This whole thing is looking scarier every day. I just hope this things comes down soon. Where do they keep getting the high number of people drawn with such high scores? I stand at 481. Should have applied last year if not for delay in getting ECA. At least I would have my peace of mind now. Who knows how much longer this painful wait is going to last? Well U guess I'd better get comfy waiting.
