"Roughly 10,000 people applied for the inaugural draw and 3,000 were entered into the pool."
this clearly states that there aint a lot of people in that pool who are qualified. hence, the score might drop down pretty quick if the next draws intakes anything more than 779 candidates.

Almost 20% of the pool is currently in the spreadsheet. so we have a much clear picture of the next few draws atleast.

I agree, I've lost everything becoz of this stupid Bureaucracy nonsense!
The only thing we can do is start looking for quick alternatives. to build our score higher

How does this if 10,000 applied how are only 3,000 in the pool? Why aren't the other 7,000 in the pool?

There's an eligibility criteria about the pool. You must either be eligible for CEC or FSWP or FSTP even before being considered.
I think the possibility is that a lot of people must not have been eligible, Or must not have entered all the info correctly, must not have their test results in hand or must have made a mistake in the profile, etc.


its hard to tell! We can trust becoxz its in the news papers. So they must have surely heard this from CIC only!

What it means is that, 10,000 people have created profile in EE and only 3000 people are eligible under EE. Pool is only comprised of candidates who are eligible to apply for PR under EE.

If either under FSW or CEC it shows Met, that means you are in the pool. If it says Not Met then you are not.

Wow so I am in the pool , 1500 have already been invited , so there's only another 1500 in the pool . then my chances are good ?

You are correct UNDER the assumption that no new eligible profiles entered the pool since the last draw, which I highly doubt.
