It appears the 2017 Target is 71,700 ITAs for FSW, FST, CEC programs. (Part of Express Entry?)
-- http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-plan-2017.html

In 2017 so far, 47,876 ITAs were issued through Express Entry.
-- http://www.canadavisa.com/express-entry-invitations-to-apply-issued.html

If this is true, there are approximately 23,824 ITAs left to be issued.
Which means -- they can get this through 3,970 ITAs per month.

... Is this correct?
Guys, has anyone ever considered the fact that targets are not limits? In fact everyone loves to surpass their target. We all do in our work places and businesses, so what makes people think IRCC don't want to do the same?

In my book a target is nothing more than a minimum, Ray of Hope says they will pass it by far.

I think the number of ITAs are a wrong indicator of how many draws will be happening for the rest of the year.

This is the link for the target of new permanent residents in 2017 under individual categories. They have a target of welcoming 74,000 individuals this year under the categories which concern us. This is the official data on the CIC website, and as more than 25-30% of the ITAs are not converted in PRs. I believe this is no need to publish or point out that only 77,000 ITAs are to be issued this year.

This is number of PRs to be issued this year under the FSW, PNP, CEC categories not the number of ITAs.

Every country has their own way of doing things.

Those of us who have issues with Canada's immigration process have already applied to Australia :p
Australia has very limited invites per year. Its really hard to get in there.

Avg profile should be

For me the worst part of all this waiting is the fact that there were three draws in recent months where I would have gotten an ITA, but because I made some stupid mistakes I didn't enter the pool soon enough. OINP is looking more and more appealing now. I'll try to hang in there a little while longer, but things aren't looking too good; those of us in the low 400s desperately need to see consecutive weekly draws if we're to stand a chance.
