I definitely agree with you. As EE is becoming increasing popular worldwide, this can be seen as a future-proof strategy to ensure stability of the country. Also, by keeping the score high, the government creates a high demand for Canadian education (in order to get points) and this could bring way more benefits to the country. Of course some people will say this may discourage many people but if you compare Canadian immigration to Australia or the US, Canada is still the best no matter what. Keeping CRS score high (> 470) will make it more selective and only the best "overall" candidate can immigrate. It's the same with selling a product. Once your product is well known and receive high praise, its understandable to charge for more knowing that people will still buy it anyway :). So complain less, and rather spend that energy to improve your score guys :)
I agree with what you're saying. But part of me is hoping for a draw today because I'm maxed out at 453. Maybe it's time to look for other ways.

But I dont think keeping the score above 470 will help the government to achieve the PR tragets through regular EE set for the upcoming years and even for 2020. This can be clarified by just looking into the number of candidates in the pool right now. What is the density of the candidates in the pool above CRS 470?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has named Marco Mendicino as Canada’s next Minister of Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada.

Mendicino has an extensive background in law. For nearly 10 years he worked as a federal prosecutor, during which time he put members of the “Toronto 18” terror group behind bars. He also worked at the Law Society of Upper Canada, and was the President of the Association of Justice Counsel, where he served for two terms. Mendicino has also advocated for better laws on organized crime and access to justice before the House of Commons and the Senate.

At the time of swearing-in on November 20, he was serving as the parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities. He was involved in advancing government green infrastructure and social infrastructure in Toronto and across Canada.

He was re-elected as the Member of Parliament in the Eglinton-Lawrence riding on October 21, 2019 with 53 per cent of voter support. Before being elected in 2015 he developed a lunch program for families with children going into kindergarten or the installation of a new turf field at John Wanless Public School.

In 2017 he served as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, where he helped to advance federal priorities such as Criminal Justice Reform, Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and Restorative Justice.

The new Minister of Immigration also sat on a number of boards and has been involved with the John Wanless Childcare Centre, John Wanless Public School, North Toronto Soccer Club, COSTI Immigration Services, the Toronto Symphony Volunteer Committee and Heart & Stroke Canada.

Mendicino will be replacing Ahmed Hussen who lead Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) since 2017. Hussen will be taking over the role of Minister of Families Children and Social Development.

Election promises
The Liberal party won their minority government with four key promises pertaining to immigration:

  • Make modest and responsible increases to immigration;
  • Make applying for Canadian citizenship free for permanent residents;
  • Launch a “Municipal Nominee Program;” and
  • Make the Atlantic Immigration Pilot permanent.
350,000 immigrants by 2021
During their four years in a majority government, the Liberals increased immigration levels from about 260,000 annually to a target of 330,800 in 2019. Those targets are set to increase by another 20,000 to 350,000 in 2021. All together this could mean over a million newcomers in the next three years.

The Liberals also put greater emphasis on refugees during their last term. They increased refugee class intake to 15 per cent, and reduced the economic class intake to about 58 per cent. Family class immigration levels remained untouched.

Free Canadian citizenship applications
Currently, permanent residents must pay $530 to obtain citizenship, plus a $100 “right of citizenship fee.”

The promise to waive the fees altogether is a part of a renewed effort to reform the Citizenship Act to make acquiring citizenship more accessible regardless of socioeconomic factors such as age and income.

Municipal Nominee program
In an effort to help connect immigrants to rural areas of Canada, the Liberals promised to implement a program that would facilitate the process.

The Municipal Nominee Program (MNP) would open up 5,000 new spaces for prospective immigrants.

Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program
The Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP) was created to curb the population decline in Canada’s four Maritime provinces.

The AIPP allows employers in Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island to hire foreign nationals for a job they cannot fill locally.

The pilot was extended an additional two years in May, and is now slated to become a permanent installment.

sorry but this doesn’t make sense. Charge who and why? What product? Keeping the score high doesn’t benefit the Canadian government nor their people. One might argue that the higher the score is, the better the migrants are, but this is not the case because they need people with skills (look at the increasing popularity of pnps with low crs scores). A kid who just graduated from a Canadian university is not the cream of the crop. I was accepted in the second year of the EE lifespan and at that time, potential immigrants were discussing the very same topic. Needless to say, I came across one too many individuals like yourself, spreading theories which are conducive to panic. And the next year, scores dropped to 413! I am not saying they will drop again, on the contrary, they are rising because I do agree with you that EE has become more popular, but there is no agenda from the IRCC to keep the scores high. It is simple math, more people with high crs, higher cut offs. Now to the people who are saying they intentionally manipulate ITAs to keep scores high, any proof to back this up? No. You want logic, look at the fluctuations that happened in the past... In a nutshell, I predict scores will remain higher than previous years because and only because more people with high crs scores are interested in Canada. I was too careful not to say more “skilled” people because having high crs doesn’t translate to skill. Most of the successful immigrants within my circle are the ones who were invited by pnps or came via means outside the EE, and guess what? The Canadian government is well aware of this fact.
