Can some one please make me understand that how CIC is going to achieve its target?

I was looking into the recent post on CanadaVisa.

http://www.canadavisa.com/news/november-30-express-entry-draw-candidates-provincial-nomination-immigration-canada.html

which cleared that CIC issued 27,164 ITA in 2016. On the other hand, it is also true that the immigration quota for economic class for 2016 was 160,600, which was divided as below.

Low High Target
Federal Economic—High Skilled Footnote 1 54,000 59,000 58,400
Federal Economic—Caregivers Footnote 2 20,000 22,000 22,000
Federal Economic—Business Footnote 3 500 900 800
Provincial Nominee Program 46,000 48,000 47,800
Quebec Skilled Worker 25,500 27,000 26,200
Quebec Business 5,200 5,500 5,400

Economic Total 151,200 162,400 160,600

These numbers are much more than the number of ITA's being issued. Even if we only talk about Federal Economic class, it is far away from the quota allocated :eek:

I am in dilemma that does CIC really care about the quota or they they just do what ever they want to?

Good question! Target looks too steep. There is no way that CIC can meet the numbers now ???

these numbers include family members of applicants. The average family size is 3 so you should multiply these numbers by 3

Every year they((CIC) have a outlook of meeting some targets, however in realistic pic, we can only calculate it after all the draws are over fr that year.
