Thanks @tiwalope and @maverick28 and @monavy! I was really disappointed. Not that I was expecting an ITA today, but that I believe CRS will be range bound from may till December in the range of 430-440 or even more. I am saying this observing 2016 CRS score. I know CRS can surprise, but for scores to drop below 420, it may be till 2018.

This is just my observation. I know it sounds hopeless, but I think it is a way of keeping CIC competitive. Any drop below 430 will be either that all candidates above have already received ITA or are a minority.

Been in the pool of candidates for the 2nd year. I have only lost scores, not increased it :(

My advice for those waiting for an ITA, look at increasing your scores :) some changes are coming in June, high chances that CRS score may go up. But I wish I am wrong

at end of 2015, 60,042 candidates were in the pool.
today, (after 15 months), total active candidates in the pool = 49061.

Even with high scores of last year, a net deductions of 11K. taking this into account and the fact that the draw size has doubled, what is the conclusion? that the candidates in the EE pool are not enough to exhaust the quota and that the scores will only have to drop.
 
Looks like CIC has finally got a perfect immigration system in hands. Hopefully they come up with plans for the highly qualified applicants in 350 - 400 range. For the ones above 400 I have no doubts that Canada will no longer be a dream.

That said my prediction for 59th draw -

April 19th - 425 with 3700 ITAs

431?!?!! Another low record. Congrats to all!!!! Really happy for everyone!!! Crystal Ball got it right 5th of april!



Retaking IELTS in june stuck at 394 :(((
Stuck at 386 for two years without knowing the impact of IELTS. I have 7, 7.5 and 8 in speaking, reading and listening sections, but scored a 6 in writing which brought down my CRS to 386. Retaking IELTS this month. Expecting to score above 430 CRS after the test. Hope!

Have you maxed out CRS points for IELTS?

Unfortunately :<
 
Hello Guys
I called CIC.. at first he said there are chances that you didn't get selected even though my score is 436 and then after holding for a while he told me to wait for at least few days ... so sad :(

You will need to wait atleast 24 hrs. As ITA rolls out for 2 days, i.e till tomorrow. All the best
 
My expectations for next draws will be like this : (I hope so)
2nd draw - April 3600 423
1st draw - May 3650 414
2nd draw - May 3800 406
1st draw - June 3900 398 , so i think we are going to see this for the first time, the CRS score below 400 in June 2017
2nd draw - June 3650 391


.... and no more waiting for the end of year report 2016

Yes hold on
I expect that you will get an ITA in May ~ June period
 
I am in with CRS 424, expecting it to go up to 444 with spouse taking IELTS exam this week. Lets hope that the draws continue to happen every 2 week as that will definitely push the score down.
My prediction April 19th Draw with 3750 ITA's

Don't know :( I always get disheartened after each draw :( life goes on
I feel ur pain. At 425 to 420, we are so hopeless....I really want to see a big change in next draw. This score range is like the most vulnerable...can be easily affected by anything @@'
