Here is mine, share your thoughts.

Total target for 2017 EE : 73,700
ITAs given in first 4 months Jan-April 2017 : 35,973

Which mean almost half of the required target is already issued. (of course how many will accept the ITAs and get PRs can be ignored for the moment)

Now, with 8 more months to go, no one from outside of the department knows how many they would invite every month.

Now let'€™s look at the data.

On April 7th there were 10139 in the pool with above 400 CRS
On April 28th there were 8314 in the pool with above 400 CRS

From April 7th till April 28th there were 2 rounds of invitation which were above 400.

One on April 12th with 3,923 ITAs
Another in Apr 19th with 3665 ITAS

Totaling 7588


Which means From April 7th till April 28th 7,588 were out from pool because they were given ITAs.

Which means 10139-7588 = 2551 are remained in the pool since April 7th till April 28 as they were not given ITAs as they were less than 415 CRS (lowest invite).

Here, if you notice, there were 8314 in the pool on April 28th with above 400 CRS. Which implies that 8314-2551 = 5763 where added to pool with 400+ score between April 7th and April 28th. Which is 3 weeks. So, about 1921 were added per week.

That means about 1900 are being added to the pool with CRS 400+ per WEEK... so even if they have to invite every 2 weeks they will have a fresh 3800 people being added with 400+ score.

Now in 8 months if they have to invite at least twice a month that's 16 invitations, like about 2400 ITAs needed per invite to cover the remaining balance of about 37727. Which means the CRS invite score might remain above 420 assuming same flow of new candidates adding in.

8 months to go? I think the year ends on September..or am I missing something here?
Yeah, although fiscal year is from Oct-Sep, I see they are keeping targets based of calendar year. Since EE started from January 1, 2015 and the data reports of 2015 and 2016 from the tables here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/reports/ee-year-end-2016.asp , considers Jan to Dec of each yr, I'm presuming the target is for 2017 Jan to Dec.
I might be wrong. But that's what I see it.

True, by the information on the page you shared, it seems like CIC is following calendar year for the ITA & draws.
And by the look of your analysis, I agree that we can consider 1900+ candidates in the pool above 400 CRS every week.
I heard there will be fresh outs from the college which might increase the count of the new candidates flow.

But considering the rejection rate of say 20%, we still hope that out of 35k given ITA, around 7k will be rejected which will add up in the quota of the remaining ITA to be issued.
With everything discussed so far, I think your idea of minimum 420+ CRS might actually hold true although I hope it goes to 419 at least once so that I get my ITA as well :)

After May or June,,, I believe that more people with higher scores would be added to the pool.... Because by the time, the college graduates can have 1 year experience in Canada... For now,, I believe that most of them are still getting their experience... For example, tons of my friend who graduated last summer are still waiting to apply for Express Entry.... Many of them started their jobs in June...

Best wish for all of us.

Means crs score will be around 420. But if there are 3 or 2 draws every month, then all the candidates who got ita will be chosen by august. What will they do after september??
