Friends,

It is really disappointing to know that the CIC has kept the cut-off scores really high... However I have got to know that the scores will gradually come down...

Any idea when is the next draw?

They don't choose the points needed, they choose the number of people they're going to invite, the lowest score among those people's profiles is the 'minimum score'.

It looks like all they did was issue ITAs to all the LMIA holders to get them out of the way, otherwise a number of 779 ITAs is a little random.

All the LMIA holders? but I think many of them will be picked in the next draw.

How? Right now they would all have been removed from the pool since they've been issued ITAs.

It's pretty doubtful that many, many people will be able to get LMIAs before the next draw since it's pretty difficult.

I hope so!
But instead, PNP applicants will come into the pool for the next draws.

Not everyone who had an LMIA was picked. I have 4 clients with LMIAs that were not picked. Their points were 754, 860, 729 and 832.

Remember that you still have people who came last year on LMO and which to apply under CEC so they will wait till they 1 year of Canadian experience before getting into the pool, which means that in each draw you will have new LMIA holders

...so, in the short term, without an LMIA you've got no chance.

rjessome, I've only been on this forum for a few days but already, I know your posts are the diamonds in the haystack. ;)

Thank you!

If your client with 860 points was not pciked, how does the rank system work then?
