Next draw - Likelihood of the no of invitations being increased?

[mariabas]

Based upon the immigration targets released, what are the chances that the next draw will have around 1800 invitations or more?

No of ITAs per draw will increase to 4000 within a short time.

however, I expect next draw they will issue 2100 ITAs

What makes you say that? Any calculations?

73700 is the target for 2017. ie 26% increase than 2016

Additional 51000 target for PNP

100% of 2017 target will goes to EE. Pre EE paper based will be fully covered within 2016 target.

So ultimately they can easily issue 4000+ ITAs per draw until May 2017.

Next draw, No of ITAs >=2100

100% of target will goes to EE. Pre EE paper based will be fully covered within 2016 target.

Also this target does not include family members.

So ultimately they can easily issue 4000 ITAs per draw until May 2017.

Wish this comes true, so that everyone waiting with CRS ~400 to 450 shall also get an ITA. But i do not see it becoming a reality in the near future

To attain 2017 target, they must issue 4500 ITAs per draw until May 2017. However I am expecting 4000+

Next draw no of ITAs will be >=2100

yeah, nice theory... the only problem is 300k includes dependents... eg spouse, parents, grand parents etc... its not just for people who are in EE..

4000 is a very very wild target, seems extremely unlikely those numbers will ever be met... i think draw sizes will probably be around 2000-2500 at best during the course of next year... (and this is me being VERY VERY optimistic)

there is a ray of hope 46th draw thread, you can follow that one as well.

Spot on except that dependents of ee applicants include spouse and >18 children only. Parents and grandparents comes under family quota

Spot on, except that dependents of EE applicants include Spouse and <18 (under 18) children only. I have known many applicants (small database of 30 to 35 families) and normally 1 EE profile carries ~2.5 person on average including principal applicant. In that case 4000 People invitation is actually 1600 ITAs (which is currently the case). I wish there are more singles applying than families.

I hope I am all wrong and we get actually 4000 ITAs ..
