Still very high score. Do you think it will continue go up later this year?

 

[ravi1212]

Nothing suggests it's coming down.

 

[Cookie13]

Thought it would have dropped to 470 at least, is there a massive chunk of people at 471 specifically as that number gets drawn a lot? Or is there anyway of knowing?

Yes, i tend to believe this is the case.

wow an increase in cut off even after 3900. doesnt look good.

No one on the Earth can predict IRCC. Anything and everything is possible. I belive if they wanted to drop CRS, they have plenty of ways. But it all depends on their intentions which only GOD knows. One thing I have learnt from my 2 years of struggle is that never giveup and never lose hope. Meanwhile, try to boost your score. Trend shows that cutoff is increasing. I have calculated the average of past 10 draws at every draw. It shows average increase steadily by 1 CRS point. Let see what happens next, I wish everyone could achieve their target as we all have given our best and speny alot of money.

What other options do we have.My wife and I are sitting at 462...If I retake IELTS we will be at 464.Will this CRS ever come down considering the graduates that will be coming out in May??How difficult or easy is it to learn French?

there was a poster here who learnt french from scratch in 9 months and got the necessary points and detailed everything in a post. after reading that post i will never attempt to learn french.

468 here.. I was expecting another 4500 call, then hopefully the score would go down another 2 points. Checking the history, since 2018, almost every time (exception is Sept 19th draw) that CRS increases the number of people they keep it up for at least another round... so it looks like it happened again
By the way, let me share my graph with you guys:

I missed today by one mark!. Is there any drow for fedral skilled worker coming soon?

 

[jrossi]

Well, the rate of new applicants in the 450-600 range has came down from 385 candidates/day to 266 candidates/day.
That's the only positive aspect of today's draw. Truth is: I don't think IRCC actually intents to ever drop the CRS to 469 again.
I'm really kinda of losing my energies in that process. It's really stressful. But, I guess none of us have any other option, if not try to improve our scores.

If the no. of applicants keep on decreasing, why wouldn't the crs go low?
