No expectation for today, but maybe CIC surprises us?

I'd actually be more confident if it was April Fools. ;D
 
I dont think there would be a draw today. Let it be a regular draw on April 5, so that there is normal decline. But, CIC can always surprise.

If we have a draw today, I won't be getting an ITA because I submitted my EE profille and registered with job bank just a couple of hours ago but lord let there be a draw today. I can wait till the next one. Goodluck to everyone who are in for a f5/refresh party! 8)

You never know what CIC has in store for us. My situation is the same as yours. Created EE Profile and did job bank registration a little while ago. Wont be eligible for today's draw(if any).

All the best to everyone in the pool!! :)

I was 38 when I got my ITA. Of course at that age and without any Canadian work experience or education, you can forget about direct FSW ITA and you have to get PNP nomination first.

I don't have hope for PNP either because my occupation isn't in demand :( If you don't mind me asking, what's your occupation and did you get a PNP?

That is fine. It will change to application received in 24 hours.

Yes I am PNP. My occupation is purchasing officer - 1225. But I got Ontario PNP and Ontario has no occupation in demand list. I got it as bilingual speaker (English and French). However Ontario did send some NOI to people with CRS over 400 points at the end of February as well.
 
is there anybody here below 430 who is still hopeful?
I mean hopeful based on reality not wishful thinking.
 
yea i was 432 a month back then i turned 30 and now am 427 chances are good ....... be optimistic thats real optimism not utopianism

Give it 24 hours to change from "Pending additional criteria" to "We have received your application.."
It is same for everyone.
 
Are there actually plausible reasons or are we just hoping that the next draw will be lower? I don't want to be a pessimist but I fear that the next draw might go higher because the second last was a clear deviation from pattern in a ranking so low that was never seen before, and immediately in last draw the rank jumped back 7 places. Are the odds higher for it increasing or decreasing and any real expert insight for the same in market like immigration lawyers?
 
Am not an expert but aa you see the stats ... 77k fedral visas .... 20 k already given 50k still left so it is a good indicator that yes point need to drop .... it will go below 410 mark too
