Hi @TanakaM

Hope you are doing good. Friend, is there any reason for the only 50% invitations which is being converted to PR? Is it cause of rejections? What are the prime causes, any idea?
I think the person meant only 50% of the candidates in the pool actually apply for the PR after getting their ITA.
people reject ITAs or ignore them i guess. I can not verify the accuracy of that figure though. However, it is fact that a significant number of invited candidates do not submit their PR applications.

Hey bro. Thanks for doing this even though you're already through. Speaks a lot about the admirable person you are.

I have a little request, and I don't know if it's even possible to do it, but I do know that it'll take a lot of your valuable time. But here it goes:

Can you, in your excel sheet, create an equation for dates. Say, based on today's draw's number of ITAs, how long will it take for the cutoff to drop to a certain value. A conservative estimate assuming 2750 ITAs and an optimistic estimate considering 3500 ITAs in all the following draws.

Or if you are willing to share your algorithm, I can try to whip something up with my limited excel knowledge.

Thanks bud.
Hi, you can do some calculations based on the number of people entering the pool each day:
  • Around 200 people/day above the 441 mark
  • Around 25-30 people/day 431-440
  • Around 15 people/day 421-430

I really hope that is the case cause then CIC should definitely look for further maximizing the invitation numbers to get their quota filled up. We really need to get the CRS score down to 400 as all the applicants above 400 score are a well deservant of getting their PR and establishing themselves in a dynamic environment like in Canada.

With no ITA released today doesn't necessarily mean there will not be any ITAs this week. Perhaps CIC wants to break the jinx of releasing ITAs on a Wednesday, in this new year 2018 . Also, there have been ITAs released on Thursday & Friday too, on a few occasions in 2017.

So lets keep our hopes high (And may CIC keep their CRS cut-off down) :)
