[joconstantine]

So CEC draw is happening, I believe. Not sure if any CEC candidates have started to receive ITA.

Maybe that will only be revealed for some of us tomorrow, if it takes place later today.

FSWs just can't catch a break though! Quite disappointing that the pattern continues into May.

This might sound negative, but with the current pool distribution, even with an all-category draw, the cut-off point can be as high as 473-475.

CRS score went up for PNP.
Hope CEC draw would be lower than before.

Yeah, on April 27th there were 2,635 applicants in the 471-480 category. Now there are 3,140. I wonder what IRCC's plan is to stop these from filling up too much. Surely there has to be an FSW draw sometime soon.

Unless many of these people were also CEC candidates. That would also explain why the CEC cut-off point did not drop too much in the previous round.

The rise in CRS would affect the CEC cut off too?

No, The rise in CRS will only be for general draws. For CEC it is going to go down.

I’m talking about like today’s PNP cut off went up. I’m at 451 CEC that’s why i was worried that if it affects CEC cut off too to rise.

So understand that PNP differs. For PNP you get 600 additional points on top of your existing points but with CEC it is just matter of Canadian experience and I don't think that within 15 days hundreds of people can be having their 2nd or 3rd year work anniversary.

Yeah i know that my only concern is like previous PNP was 692 and now it went up by 26 points that is 718. Is there possibility that CEC 452 can also go up instead to coming down?

You forgot about the PGWP folks who graduated in June and completed their work anniversary requirement in May.

Short answer. It won't!
