Take the Dubai route , scores won’t drop below 470 , and it’s been happening since the new immigration minister has come , which was not the case before him . His policies are different , as he wants to give priority to inland applicants .FSW would resume , when everything would be in action - ielts and ECA , so dnt wait assuming that it I’ll drop . I have been waiting since October last year . It’s pretty easy though that 3-4 b2b FSW draws and scores would be 460. However, apparently , IRCC doesn’t want this . They will follow this pattern untill everything I’ll be open
