To some, this might be bad news. But the truth is, this is great. Transparency with applicants numbers in the pool. And with Covid-19 pandemic, its fine if they go for a pnp draw for once. I only hope its not a repetitive thing.

Very interesting. Good to see they are sharing this information with us now. As expected, the range above 480 is sparsely populated. And we now know 668 high-scoring applicants have also been removed with the PNP draw.

Of course, there are also those who received IELTS results today (from March 7th test) who could potentially enter before the next draw.

However, if they hold a draw on the 25th or 1st, without the steady influx of new high-scoring applicants due to delays with language and ECA results, it isn't inconceivable that the cutoff could drop in to that 461-470 range, assuming the distribution is somewhat consistent and similar to above.

Seeing the breakdown, I feel that the people with crs above 460 have some chances of receiving an ItA in the future?
what do you guys say?

2113 people above 470. Of course there will be some new candidates who has 470+.

But if there will be back to back draw, I guess there is a chance for those 465-466.

What do u think?

Yeah buddy and also i guess that high number of candidates b/w 460-470 are comprised of 465plus.in the previous thread i have seen most people saying 465+ scores i may be wrong there could be more ppl from other countries too(outland especially US) but my guess would be majority are 465+ in that 460-470 range..

Has there ever been a back to back draw though? I am now expecting the next one to take place on 1 April.

Only if they conduct draws regularly as usual because new high scoring applicants without ECA cannot enter the pool and getting an ECA quickly at this point seems very difficult.
