Ray of Hope - *49th Draw*

[Batman_is_Real]

Well with all the nominations I was expecting at least two draws this month... one today (at least to flush out PNPs) and then another more general on the 21st... But it seems that we'll only have one on the 21st... IF we do... the 21st is the absolute last chance, I hope they don't have more technical glitches on the 21st

With your CRS draw date doesn't really matter, If I were you I would start working on collecting documents and have my medical done.

Already done my friend... My PCC's are ready, did my medicals yesterday anticipating a draw on Wednesday. I'm going to drop a bucket load of documents on my translator's desk today so that it should be ready by beginning of Jan.

All I need is the ITA!!! Just to put the cherry on the cake. ;D

And those 4500 less would nicely correspond with the increased amount of refugees accepted this year.
I am also not saying that the normal number is 750 to 900 (what we have seen between May and September). But neither is it 2000 or 2500 (that is what we see now).
For example 2000 per average draw per average time of 2 weeks, would give us 50000 invitations per year.
Mulitply it with 2,2 (size of the average family applying) and you will end with 110k applications.

Now in that amount there is a mixture of all economy immigrants and app. 30% of PNP that uses EE.

However if you check quota for next year you will get around (70k direct economy immigrants and 15k through provinces). That is unfortunatelly less than 110k.

Let us assume that next year will be the last one with some paper application leftovers (without PNP). - here there are no valid data, but we can talk about maybe 20k leftovers (just guessing).
Hence the reason why awaiting big draws is too optimistic.
My assumption is around 1500 ITA per draw with maybe raising tendency toward end of the year (but that rising just might come from the more and more PNP aligning with EE).

When it comes to this year we had lower quotas because of the increased amount of refugees plus closing up with the old system. However the average draw was around 1200 ITA (from whole 2016). However if you count all draws together and check the lower quotas for this year you will already get the Picture where the quota for this year ITA was practicaly exhausted.

Will we have more ITA in 2017 than in 2016?

Ye we will. It is just not to await those miracle numbers (unless there will be bigger amount of PNP as well).

I think you have gone in negative shell. I want to tell you that we were getting 1500 ITAs when they said that EE is taking 50% of applicants. And now with EE will take majority of applicants from 2017 target thats why we are witnessing high no. Of ITAs. And mind you not all ITAs are translated to landings in 1 yr.

Guys, they're facing technical issues because they've revamped the point system, and because we're dealing with government, things take longer than they would with a private company . Cool it with the doom and gloom predictions and the insane conspiracy theories.

Its easy to cool it down at 500. At 476 every delay in the draw date make you feel the wait is going to be even longer because of more PNPs stacking up. ??? really hope they draw soon, or atleast host a huge draw >3000 Itas to reduce the stacked applications.

Still no reason to panic. I'm pretty sure the next draw will be a big one (to make up for the missed draws). Even if the cut-offs are high (480+), they will fall in subsequent draws. The worst that'll happen to you at 476 is you'll have to wait an additional month., but hey, that's just my opinion.

True.I can feel your pain because I am also in the same boat.
475..!!

this is really getting insane

 

[ashwinbavdekar]

I know man, its just that i've been waiting since March 16. 15 days before i filed the cutoff was 453 and then the 750 ita/draw started off (My score was 461 then). And the thought that had i opened a profile 15 days back i would've got a PR by now is killing me.
