"In 2015, CIC expects to have 15-25 invitation rounds."

"With more than 22,000 active people in the pool, candidates from around the globe are represented."



CIC Link - news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=961369&tp=930



So, as per this, there will be at least 9 more draws(taking the minimum).

There are very good chances for people with 400+ score.

There are chances for people with <400 but there would be a huge candidates in this range below.

22000 is even way below the FSW target
But the pool is for CEC+FSW+FST :eek:
Tech briefing says the EE nomination target is between 80~100K
and now the entire pool is only 22K :eek:

they dont have to hit their target, and before a federal election I'd say they would rather play it safe, if the conservatives get back in thats when I think you will see some big drops in score.

From here until october I would say smaller drops. Lots of PGWP holders with CEC experience and same with those commonwealth countried who IEC visa holders have had to change now they dont have a rolling over visa like australia

*Active* profiles. People will be waiting to update IELTS score as EE only takes a certain score + WES evaluation will be under process for a lot.

Drops will not be linear.

Besides, as you just saw, points can also go up.
Oh wow....didn't expect that one coming.

If they are taking 1600 ppl every draw, you will be invited very very very very soon.
However....they might control the # of invitations.....

You seem to forget that the pool keeps growing every day.

The other way to look at the number of 22k is that on average about 220 profiles per day have been added since January 1st.
Recent addition of new profile is getting to a very low number. I believe only 500 ppl are added every month, by looking into the EE google sheet.
A huge number of profiles are piled up at the beginning of Jan and then decays quickly.

Most of people didn't apply thinking they won't get job offer/PNP 600 point so they may not qualify.
But now we will see that people all over will apply in bulk. So I assume that points go in low 400 in next 2 month then they will go up when people will start applying.
My guess - another 28000 application in next 3 month making pool of 50k.
