Congratulations to those who have received the ITAs.

All the best for the ones who are expecting. The signs show that the score might still go down.
 
The worrying thing is this, in just over a month they've issued 7800+ ITAs... I have a sneaking suspicion they wanted to get most of their quota done BEFORE the changes this Friday... Is that's the case then we're likely to see draws with much less people for the rest of the year... As a result when we should see the bar lowering, given LMIA accounted for 46% of all ITAs last year and they'll lose 550 points, we may infact see it raising due to the restrictive number of ITAs from now one... Let's hope I'm wrong! :-\

Don't think it is a matter to worry. the bottom line is the total immigration nos. will stay put in 2017 also meaning no. of ITAs issued are not going down in any case.

Well you are wrong. They said before that in 2015 and 2016. Half of the targets were coming through EE. And after 2017 target announcement they said that majority of the target will come through EE. If they were drawing 1500 as a half and majority means 75% which means the number should go upto 2500. As it is going up now because all of them receiving ITAs are from 2017 target. Thats why they are drawing more. And it will continue.

Yes, in the end it will normalise and they will start issuing large quantities of nominations per draw.. I'm just mildly concerned with the next few draws.. But let's see how they go!

They made it clear that the aim of these new measures is lowering the cut off score and giving ITA to those with higher human capital score - including students. They all move around 420-460 so it has to go down, and the number of ITAs wont drop anytime soon because it would be contradictory.
