Most likely people with Canadian experience, good language scores and maybe even a sibling... Bottomline, the pool is adding 1,900 >501 scorers on a biweekly basis but barely drawing enough to take these out. That's why the size should increase to at least 3,000 by next month.

A Canadian master's student with 1 year work experience and perfect English will score 501 points. Prior to the pandemic they could get ITA without perfect English. I bet the pause in ITA forced a significant number of them to aim for perfect score.

About 860 since last time.

Don't know, but by looking at other groups, absolute majority of them are CEC. Their points are increasing just by going to work. That must be feel wonderful. Some of them are asking why my points have increased from 501 to 514. Imagine that, opening your GC key account and having your points increased. On the other hand, we plebs, to get those 13 points means excelling in French for example. Yup, high skill competition.

This figure is turning in a new norm apparently.

Yeah, there was a guy asking at Kubeir why did my points increase because my two year CEC experience is not complete yet.

It must be fun to watch your points getting increased in your account by doing what you do everyday, like going to work.

Probably some folks gave French tests recently which they thought would not be needed previously.
