OINP - I really doubt now for this year as their quota is also almost over .....I am not even confident for next year....because most of direct ITA people moving to Ontario so they want to use their quota for JB, ST or French.....:rolleyes::confused:
Sucks :( Everyone moving to Ontario ruining chances for the rest. If I ever get direct ITA I will move to British Columbia. I like Vancouver a lot :)

One can just pray and wait

No 439 this year.
We saw a raise because of MPNP, they issued 582 invitations for candidates, score over 600...

With no PNP, and 2-week round, score will drop again to 440, even with 3500 ITA!

Let's keep hope e praise for no PNP! Rs (poor guys...)

Actually the biggest advertisement happened last year when the CRS cut off reached 413 in May, showcasing Canada as the easiest country to enter.
So, everyone came to know about the express entry process and now the cut off cannot come down unless the Canada craze goes down.
I still wonder how the hell cut off dropped that low :eek: Did everyone above 414 made it that time :eek: I really can't understand how they can drop it to 413. 20-30 point cut off is crazy :eek:

Now everyone trying to enter into Canada is good business for IELTS, ECA organizations and Sasketchawan :)

Canada has what they need.
1) a system like Express entry which is robust enough to filter as per their needs
2) a bunch of people desperate to go there
3) lots a very qualified applicants
4) a pool that doesnt seem to decrease
5) many applicants with high scores and some others constantly improving.

Why would they need to go as low as 435 for example?? There is no need AT ALL sad to say.
They got what they advertised for :) We will just have to start looking at other countries now.

I believe we should thank the current US president. That for sure made A LOT of people see Canada as a back up plan. Sadly most of them dont even intend to live there but just to have it as a 2nd option in the bag in case something happens.
The funny thing is that the QOL in Canada is way better than in the US according to all rankings.

So why the sudden drop in number of invitations? 3,900 to 3,500. This is strange especially considering that it increased to 3,900 from 3,750 in the last draw.

It has to be deliberate.
They are almost reaching this years's target thats Y. No more bigger draw size needed for the rest of the year

@SithLord get your PG diploma evaluated ASAP, you're looking at bumping your score up to a minimum of 443, or in best case scenario 450. are you applying as an individual or with family ?
I got it evaluated by WES and the ECA says its one semester :( Its a 1 year program so not sure how that counts as one semester. I am sending it to IQAS next week. Really desperate for points :(

I am applying as individual. I'm unmarried :)
