512!!! Just sit back and prepare to open a bottle of champagne any minute XD and could you share with us how you managed to get such a high score??
Thanks, I hope so too. I've been waiting for ITA from February and was missing the cut-off by 1 or 2 points all the time. So have been constantly looking for ways to improve it. I maxed my CELPIP (12,12,9,9) and went to 448. Thought that would be enough but wasn't. Then my wife took IELTS and we went to 462. The 4 week gap was bad for all of us. So didn't want to take any more chances and went ahead and got a Job offer to get this score.

It's a time consuming process but if we keep at it, it is possible.

Good luck to everyone. Hope the ITA count increases and we all get through very soon.

I double checked this by calling the IT guy who does tha actual maintenance job on CIC. He promised me that he will conduct the draw tomorrow night.

You are definitely getting an ITA tomorrow. How did you get a job offer with LMIA? Are you an inland applicant or outland?

Increase of 412 in the range of 601-1200
Increase of 2956 in the range of 451-600

This increase happened in 14 days from 10th may to 24th may and the draw happened on 29th, which cleared out all the people above 470. After the draw, there are still 2003 people left in the 451-600 range add to that the increase assuming 2956. the people in the range 451-600 4959 and the increase in 601-1200 range will be around 400. With all these people still in the pool i think the cut off is going to be around 467.
Thanks for this chart @alibutt2013. I was looking for this data on May 10 (and previous rounds as well). I have a question regarding the distribution IRCC published on their website every time. Do the numbers include candidates' dependents or no? Because if they do, looking at the May 10 status, there were only 2,000-ish candidates in the pool with scores above 450. Assuming the distribution didn't change much during the following week. With a draw of 3,350 candidates, shouldn't the score be much lower than 450 at least? I know the draw at May 15 wasn't for all programs, but if it were, based on previous draws the cut-off would still be above 450. Therefore, my assumption is that dependents are not included in the distribution. But I'm hoping someone with more insight could shed some light on this.

Thank you!

I am LMIA exempt due to my skill-set and ICT. I am also an inland applicant.

I'm sure it's much much harder getting the score if one is an outland applicant. So to everyone here who is trying their hardest , please keep at it. It's always the darkest before dawn. You might just be one more IELTS attempt or job interview away from realizing your dream. So keep at it and wish you the best.

I've been on a WP in Canada for more than a couple of years, if any of you need references and anything in general please DM and I'll help with anything that I can do.
