Predictions, for now, definitely don't make sense. The future draws and invitations are based on many factors, including the new applicants flooding the pool. PNP-Express Entry schemes are yet to come into full force along with Job Bank/ Job Match services (I understand employers are reluctant to offer jobs to outsiders but its still a possibility) which months down the line will be a huge factor and might raise the cut-off to much higher levels. We get a vague idea that CIC does not want to go below 450. As someone rightly pointed out, 450 & above are the average scores for people with Canadian education/ experience (some also in the 440+ range).
For ones like us, without a Canadian background (read experience/ education), we fall in a vast majority of the pool, within very wide score range. I have managed to score 438 and am hopeful to be considered amongst the higher side of our type.
However, considering only CRS scores (followed by document verification, etc), wouldn't be the decision factor for a PR approval. Canada would not fill itself with a few specific NOCs, right? That doesn't seem logical, it just defeats CIC's purpose.
In my opinion, after selecting LMIA/ PNP/ CEC candidates, who are Immigration priorities, CIC may conduct NOC specific draws.
Or the draws would still be conducted the same way, however PR approval would depend on NOC specific targets (This seems unlikely of the two as it would be a waste of processing time & resource for CIC)
I could be completely wrong as well. ;D
All said and done, the best would be to wait and watch.
All the very best, friends!
