Ray of Hope - 44th Draw

[thestunner316]

You are very close. All the best!!

only way for anyone with >460 score is to have draws with around 2000 candidates like 2-3 draws in a row...

im praying draws increase to 1500 or so next time, however whether it goes upto 2000 candidates is something that remains to be seen.

The backlog has no bearing on future draws as since 2016 targets have already been met and we're now drawing from 2017 targets.

The reason as to why we're still seeing low ITAs is because targets are for actual PR landings, which have vastly exceeded targets this year (target 58k, landings 52k by June with 6 months yet to go). If ITAs settle above 1000 in October, scores can reasonably be expected to hit at least 481, but the only way that ITAs will go up significantly is if an internal decision is made to increase the 2017 target beyond 60k for FSW+CEC+FST. It's impossible to speculate on this.

Sorry but what about the rules upcoming for international students. Would they have any effect or would they be affected?

No one is talking about it anymore, I just hope Minister McCullum comes out with something good for Int'l Students as they have paid more than double the amount to study here and then they have been paying taxes and know the culture better.....

Hope to hear something good really soon.

No good news for us if McCallum is still pushing for more refugees.

The last draw must have had quite a few PNPs - I know because a friend of mine got a SK nomination. I have a problem with other provinces as I simply wont be able to land a decent job away from the tech hubs in Canada. No point in applying for a PNP when that's never going to get me employment, or atleast the chances are pretty low.

BTW, I am sitting at 460 from June.

What would be really really helpful is if the break down volumes of people in the 400 - 500 score range by 10 point bands. There is a huge difference between people at 400 and those at 450.

Agreed. That would really be useful to figure out what the cutoff might be for subsequent draws..... but unfortunately they only share # of applications in 400-449 and 450-499 range (per the 2015 mid year report)

In today's situation, there is a huge difference between 482 and 481 as well.

That's a really really good improvement !!
it will come down, eventually !!

I managed to improve my score to 468 as well. That's the max I could reach having maxed out IELTS (CLB 10) and education (Canadian Masters). Just hoping the score would come down. :-X

You can apply for Sask PNP. Once you get Permanent Residency card, you are free to settle in any province.

Wonder how long it takes them to make it compulsory to stay in province which issued the PNP...
