They issued less ITAs because the reduced the quota to get more refugees in. And by all means they want to make EE as a sole criteria for all economic immigrants EE is still running 75-80% when EE will operate fully we will see 3500-4000 ITAs as a norm because they have to acheive their target as well. They dont care about the scores they care about number of ITAs to be given. And people with 400+ Scores are good also they have all the things that can label them as a economic immigrants.
And Scores will fall because in the past every one needed only 67/100 points to qualify for immigration but now thats not the case so the scores will fall for those who have high human core capital points and mind you any score above 400 is good.
But if you see slide 5 of the PDF, most invites to people without job offer or pnp in the bracket of 450-499. Hence it can't be correctly interpreted that the drop is because of lower scores on job.
CRS is unpredictable..may go up
I have one ineligible profile which never saw an ITA, when I created new profile, I answered "Yes" to the question "Has XXXX applied for Express Entry before? ". As I understand now that answer to this question should be No.
Can someone suggest what should I do in this case as I got ITA on Jan 11
I posted this question in Jan !! ITA thread but no one replied. Hoping for a reply here
