no draw last night :( below 450 forget about ITA

[Baljas]

Since there was no draw last night and ontario sending out the invites so it's quite evident that the next draw will be either more then 700 or in the 470s ..
People with a crs score of below 450 should forget about being invited for couple draws now . I must say 2015 below 450 has a very low chance . I'm sitting at 448 and now I have no hopes this year . Cic anticipated 15 to 25 draws so now there could be 1 to 9 more draws left . I was very hopefull for 16th draw this Friday but all in vein. My high paying job has no means to Canadian govt.
Keep up the good work and keep on inviting people all over the world so that they can find work in canada but not cared about the people who already work here . Greatt.

I doubt even next year its doubtful for people below 450,since the pool is dynamic and lot of people adding up in EE now,so sad but true-less hopes for 450 below.

Why don't people get an lmia?? If I can get one for a trade while Canada is supposedly in recession anyone can.

The pool is growing by 1,500 people per week.

Calm down, you have to be patient. If you are at 448 you have a good chance, but the nature of Express Entry is that it will prioritize applicants by score. So, like CIC has been saying since the very beginning, top applicants first, everyone else later. The backlog is expected to be gone in 2016 for FSW, and CEC backlog will be resolved by Dec 20. Less backlog = More ITAs = Applicants with score bellow 450 get invited. Patience is key, there are immigrants that have been waiting for years, express entry is a 6 months or less, but you have to wait.

I'm one of the more pessimistic people on here, but 448 is a possibility by the end of the year. They have gone down to 451, so a drop of a couple points could happen if they do two reasonably close together.

That was the anticipated number, yes. If they want to keep the workload consistent, they should be approximately 3/4 of the way through for the year. They are fairly consistent at about two draws per month, with January having one and February having 3. If things continue, there are another 6-8 draws likely for the rest of the year.

. I was very hopefull for 16th draw this Friday but all in vein. My high paying job has no means to Canadian govt. Keep up the good work and keep on inviting people all over the world so that they can find work in canada but not cared about the people who already work here . Greatt.

It's not just about finding a job - it's about finding certain types of jobs. You may very well get drawn, but if not, the PNP is likely the best possibility for you - it lets the province meet their own needs, including those who are already working in jobs in the province.

there is no way the score will drop below 450 this year. reasons are many.
- very few draw left for 2015
-oonp is sending out the invites
-if cic wanted to select the candidates below 450 then last night draw was very obvious
-pool is dynamic and lots of applications are adding every week even though some are fake or gained with a sham
-the next draw will be above 700 which makes it quite clear that the 17th and 18th draw will be in the 470s and 480s
so no way score is dropping below 450. all PGWP holders are screwed.

I agree with you... it is quite likely that we'll be seeing invitations sent to scores above 430 sometime in 2016... I highly doubt they'll go below 450 this year, but I would be happy to be wrong!

Good luck to you all
