brother it will be on 30th APRIL . because all the draws have 13 and then 7 days difference. means 9th draw will be on 30th april and 10th draw will be on 7th may

:o haha .. maybe its just coincidental for a few of the draws but doesn't hold true for all. Take the following e.g:

#4 – February 27, 2015
#5 – March 20, 2015


.. but if this pattern holds (even by pure chance) you have found a very good estimation to what every Express Entry-(consultant/pundit/nostradamus) has been trying to predict for the last a few months.
 
1st May (Coming Friday).....Hoping score will go down by 410 or below..

There is not a single chance that the score will go down to 410 in 9th draw:

- People in the pool are increasing
- People are improving their scores
- There is already a lot of competition in the lower half of 400s.

I would recommend every serious immigration candidate to make their research about the facts and then stay true to reason.

Best wishes

not agree,
people are reducing in the pool, and it is very obvious that # of invitations are going down in every draw
.
300 - 450 - i would say that number of applicants would be in between 6K - 8K, which is very low and does not even fulfill the target of 40K immigrant by end of 2015.
.
for the short time - improvement in score can be only in language which can give max 40-50 additional marks to the already eligible applicants.
.
IF CIC stuck on 450 then in the coming months invitations can be limited to 5 - 10 applicants.

I would love to agree with you but I disagree. Applicants are not that low. Just refer to last three draws
Date Draw CRS Invitations

31/1/15 1 886 779
7/2/2015 2 818 779
21/2/15 3 808 849
5/3/2015 4 735 1187
20/3/15 5 481 1620
27/3/15 6 453 1637
10/4/2015 7 469 925
17/04/2015 8 453 715

3277 candidates were between 469 and 453..

correct, but it was from minimum 453 - 1200 end... i hope you got my point......
Moreover only in one mouth(in April) number of invitation goes down by 57%.... 1637 to 715, it is not the sign of increasing applicants...

I also support the theory that CIC will want to wait for potential high-score candidates to enter the pool. They won't use up all their invitations just for the sake of making consistent draws with consistent number of invitations every month. I expect them to act strategically and reduce the number of invitations or even hold the draws for some time until there is a significant number of people above a certain score line (such as 450). Only towards the end of year -when they can no longer wait for new high-score candidates to appear- they will use the remaining invitations and draws to fill up their immigration targets for 2015, thus inviting large numbers of people with scores possibly lower than 400. This way they will guarantee inviting the people with the highest scores to Canada as much as possible.
 
friends i am getting score of mere 323,any chances of draw getting this loweror shud i be looking for job?
 
My EE Score is 377. IELTS- L-6.5, R-7, S-6, W-6.

Should I improve IELTS score which will take around 2 months? or ITA cut off may come down to 377 in next 2 months.

Nope. Immigration targets for 2015 are based on people landing in Canada, not ITAs.

This means that anyone getting an ITA at the end of the year will not count towards the immigration targets of 2015.

Considering the 6 months processing time, the deadline for issuing ITAs to meet 2015 immigration targets is actually mid year / end of June, possibly earlier considering that candidates have 2 months to respond to an ITA.

So are you expecting such a surge in invitations, therefore a sharp point decrease by June?
 
6 months is the maximum time. I know people who got their PRs in 4 months.
The point is the CRS cut-off will come down eventually but I do not see it going below 375 (approx) at any time in 2015. As no of applicants will keep increasing throughout the year.

So, if u really want to have a realistic chance try n be above 375.
And in the end, all these are speculations so be positive & keep improving your score. Best options to do so are:

- Improve IELTS score
- Appear for a Second Launguage
- Get your Spouse's certificates verified & try gaining points for her education & IELTS

Hope this helps :)
 
Pre Warning I'm completely guessing but...

I would say the chances of it hitting 410 arent to bad but it wont be in the next month.

I'm 30 have perfect IELTS good work experience and am on 410. Granted my wife hasnt take the IELTS yet which would get us another 20 points. The only reason we havent got my wife to do it is because we otonly have 7 weekends left in canada and dont want to waste a day with the test so will do it when we get back to New Zealand.

Anyone with a score below the 400 mark I think will be only very very lucky to get an ITA because this must mean their english score is low and with a federal election the last thing the government want is for the immigration programme to blow up in their faces.

So get those IELTS scores up or hope that somehow the government changes the Job Bank situation cause at the moment Job Bank is a dead duck

I am not hoping there will be a boost from job bank to the applicants. To my understanding, Job Bank is an eye wash to all to make people to be in day dream. Logically, who will wait for 6 months for a position to be vacant when there are plenty of resources available in market at present. I may be wrong but this is what I can see now in connection with the Job Bank.
