Time to shoot a good deal of nonsense :D
It has been 127 days since the beginning of 2015. There are 365 days in an year.
They invited 8491 so far. They need to send 25000 invitations this year. Now look at the difference between ratios
127/365 - 8491/25000 < .008
This only means that they issue new ITA's only to linearly meet their 25000 quota. Not more not less!

What's wrong with you guys? Some provinces in Canada have different time zones and even after that it's still not 12am in Canada! Just use freaking Google and type 'what time is it in Canada ', it's not rocket science!

You may be wrong, it may be nonsense...
But it actually makes sense :D

we all know how to google' what time is it in Canada'. But I guess you don't know how to google " what is UTC time right now". CIC takes draw at 00:00 UTC time. Its past 00:00 UTC now :p :p :p :p :p :p

Mr. Zandora get your facts straight before lashing at others rudely.

Draws happen UTC 0:00 and not EST 0:00.

Exactly! When I received my ITA on the April 17 draw it was 12am Ontario time. There's no specific time for the draw to take place on a Friday so just be patient till Friday is over in all the provinces.

I do not understand why people without knowledge post things and confuse the world. Guys if you dnt know your stuff please dnt put things out so confidently.

Every single draw has happened around 0:00 UTC Friday or Saturday night. Ministerial instructions are up around that time or in about 30-45 mins from then. But it takes many hours to actually receive an ITA if your score was above the cut off score in that round. Hence you get invites 2,3 ,4 hrs later or sometimes next day.

UTC 0:00 is EST 8:00 pm and its almost 2:30 hrs since then.

There is no draw tonight (untill CIC website is down, which does not seem so)

perhaps you should educate yourself first
