Oh dear God, whole 15 pages with so many warm wishes and a lot of joy in your faces, I used to say (you tortured me to read all :p) now I was so pleased and got so many wishes from you all, thank you very much again for everyone for every single wish, hope we all get our ITAs soon and meet in Canada next year. I almost forgot, my boy is doing great and my brave wife is so happy to have your warm welcome messages.

Hope @andieangel is having a wonderful party for her daughter's birthday :)

Now for tomorrow, hope we will have another surprise and continue our party in the next ROH (69th), my prediction: CRS 428 (+-3) with 3700 ITAs.
As you see, I'm always positive and have been nominated as your Light Knight :p:D That's why I may order you (of course with the permission of our Grace @andieangel) to be positive and hopeful during all day, because there will be many ITAs, so get ready your documents my dear friends :);)

I'm so jealous of Canada, coz there will be so many positive and hard worker and family lovers and more experienced people, so the country will surely be richer than before ;):cool:

Note: Thank you once again for your joyful messages and I'm getting fat because of so many wishes which help me to regain my weight that I lost btw home and hospital :D:p

I am sure there are great analytical brains here and I need some assistance to understand the CRS cuttoffs.
As per the breakdown on July 6th
601-1200 199
451-600 764
441-450 1,008

Cut off at 440 for 3202 applications.
Considering that there were quite a few applications in that space of 5 days until the draw, it still means that there were nearly 600+ applicants with a score of 440.

This then means that 431-440 which stood at 1576 applicants would have flushed out these heavy 440'ers. Leaving less than 800-1000 applicants there.

My pea brain (and the hopeful heart) tells me that next cutoff during the draw tomorrow should still be close to 430 +/- 3

Thank you so much :)

I want to get into UWaterloo for a graduate degree in Computer Science. But the competition is really hard. I'll try my best. UWaterloo was always the dream. :)

My elder brother always insisted that student life is hard and its difficult to find a job early after graduation if you dont have work exp so I stayed back in India and decided to apply for PR. Getting a CLB 9 was a big relief. I hope everything happens smoothly from here on.

Thanks for all the wishes mate. I hope to meet you in person in canada. And also @lino82 maybe we can argue over something while sipping coffee at Tim Hortons ;)
What's with Tim Hortons? @pessacanada also mentioned it, please enlighten me! :) I want to go too! :D

There are a number of Tim Horton's restaurants in western upstate New York close to the Canada border. I had forgotten that it's actually a Canadian chain. The food is ok, more of a good place to get together to eat with friends. We all should meet up at a Tim Horton's next year when we're in Canada. I still have $5 in Tim Horton's gift certificates from when I lived upstate. I'll have to check if they can be used in Canada.

I agree with your method, but considering 3 weeks gap and reducing number of invitation sent. I would say the crs could go as low as 435 but unlikely to hit 430. There was a gap between Mar.1 and Mar.24, the score was 434 to 441 and there were 3700+ invites at that time.
Anyhow, it would all depend on how many invits they gonna send, if it's around 3500, it would be 435 +/-3 ; if it's 3000, then I would say 440+/- 3.

P.s I personally think that they are trying to reduce the number of drawings as the target for 2017 is running out....(70k in total, 50k spent in the first half of the year) But, eventually the score will go down when they start to use the quota for next year (I think the benchmark is 410) , maybe end of the year or 2018...
