To me that is excellent news.... shows the score falling and number of itas increasing. all the right trends

 

[trini_ac]

Why are they only including those who had those scores on February 20th a week ago. How come no one who just entered the pool is being allowed in or is it just a typo?

 

[Rosalie87]

I think it was a typo, they just changed it:

That is great news I guess they are running out of lmo pnp holders

Great news for students and pgwp holders

Trends where correct this is almost 100 point drop in 1 week! And more invitations

Great! Fingers crossed

+1 to like

 

[Intocanada]

Nice!

 

[Rosalie87]

Yeah, but if they had 1000+ new people signing up within a week who all had an LMIA or Provincial nomination - isn't that kind of bad for us?
They must have been inviting everyone above 600 points though - there can't be many people between 600 and 735 points. That's super low already. How do people even manage to have only 135 points ^^

 

[Conor9900]

Yes Rosalie87 I hoped it would drop below 600 just to give the rest of us an indication that we haven't been forgotten about. Oh well maybe next week

 

[ronaldotuti]

I think 135 score must be someone without ECA or 6+ IELTS... Or someone that works in a Starbucks or something...

 

[sidaktoronto]

Also if the score keeps going low , people will get discouraged to go through LMIA/PNP Processing which is also not that easy.

Obviously its a very good trend if it is going low but if in next draw more people come up with LMIA/PNP it will be bad for low scorer.

Expecting the score to come down to 550 as not much people in this range but depends on number of LMIA and PNP.

really till date only LMIA and PNP has ruled in.

It is really a big injustice for CEC or FSWP program without.

it clearly pulled toward people with relative with extensive spread business able to clear LMIA or PNP making ECA and IELTS not required to enter CANADA.

Sorry but I disagree about injustice. People that are now working in Canada should have the priority. Otherwise, their visa expiries and they will be illegally working there.

Nice selection

I included both in canada CEC and out FSWP for that injustice.
I work in CANADA in skilled job. no lmia or pnp as both requires employer activity

my visa expires

[real.canada]
