As expected the CEC draw right one day after the PNP specific one. Congratulations to all the ITA receivers. Others should have patience and keep yourself motivated. Good Luck! :)

Going by inflow, it’s likely to be 473-474 if there’s an all programs draw on September 2nd.

Hi all, I think a CEC draw wiping of 3300 people off the pool is a great news and the cut off being 454. Does this indicate that high scoring CEC guys entered the pool recently and that was the major reason for 470 + guys? Next FSW draw should drop quite a bit I suppose. What do you think?

Yeah I think in the next all program draw we can see 2 to 3 point drop in CRS cutoff score.

I think score will go down, but not significantly, only ~2 points at the time. Remember there is a backlog of FSWs of 475 and below that have been stuck for like 6 months in the pool. At the same time, it seems that there is not a heavy influx of new FSWs with high scores.
My prediction is 474 for next draw in two weeks. My advise, is that everyone with scores in the 460s should look into ways to increase their score, because as things go back to normal (more IELTS centere open, and ECA done quicker), I would expect CRS scores of 470+ only going forward.
