wifedoctor said:If that's true then ITS will be scarce for the rest of the year, how many people can you get in the pool with scores >450? not enough to hit the targets set by CIC.

They have issued 8,491 ITAs through express entry. The CIC minister has announced that they expect 10 to 15 percent of the immigrants to Canada this year to be Express Entry selectees.
If you look at the levels plan, you can see they are targeting around 50,000 via FSW/FST, and around 22,000 for CEC.

With a total target of 275,000 (aprox), and 10-15% being EE, we're talking somewhere around 34,000 ITAs this year. That works out to around 2,830 ITAs per month. If that's the case, we're a little behind but not too much so.
They can certainly increase the number of LMIAs to compensate, which the job bank might very well be designed to do. They could make it easy for employers to hire from the job bank (and harder to hire specific employees to reduce fraud). If they did this, they would have an easy way to check the LMIAs out, as they would have a record of the Canadians matched with the job (as well as the foreigners).
This year, anything goes. They have enough of a backlog they could literally not grant a single person PR through EE, and still make their targets absolutely fine.

yelena said:I am getting ancious as well.. I have 455 points, missed to join the pool by two days after the 453 draw , and now I am stuck waiting
i have all the documents, already done medicals, gathered everything and now .. nothing
getting frustrated., I can't concentrate on my work, or my life where I presently am., all my efforts are put to one goal alone: to get to canada asap
If only I could stop myself overthinking everything., and just stay in the present moment :'(
Caspper said:Hi there, I know exactly what you are feeling as I'm in the same boat with 457 points. If British Council had my IELTS score right at the first time when I did it back in February, I would have already gotten the ITA in the past draws, but I had to apply for the remark process and that took longer 2 months to return.
Fingers crossed that we will have another draw this Friday and the scores will be lower.
