Someone said they may be done with the 2017 quota hence the unusual draw today. so IF they are done with the quota for 2017, does that mean current applications in process will be sped up in order to focus on the 2018 quota? Asking for a friend...
They don't speed up anything. They have a process in place and they do it accordingly. Quota for 2018 is getting announced today does not mean they have increased the number of visa officers.
Thanks Abhishek. Does that imply that I won’t be applicable for OINP in Feb? I hear the OINP is valid only for 6 months. Is that true? What are the chances of the express entry score dropping to 424 beginning 2018?
Your current NOI will expire if OINP opens only in 2018. You can get a new NOI from OINP in 2018 or could get a direct ITA.
If ITAs being issued in each draw increase to the 3600 range, you should be getting a direct ITA when it happens.
290 people have reduced from the Nov 8th draw but another 1000 odd folks would get added to the pool with CRS above 430 in the next 1 week. So, overall it is bad news!

I dont think that only 10k increase is a great news but overall it is a good news.
Scores going below 400 is a faded chance now. Significant increase in ITA numbers will also wont happen rather too quickly as CIC officers will have vacations in december. So the wait game has became more intense.
Seniors please enlighten us with your analyzed view.
hehe Thanks. Checked the profile, no ITA yet. Also on the CIC website, it shows the cut off as 673 for 1st Nov round. Not sure whether its yet to be updated.

With 2018 target is it possible for the score to go below 417?

not a senior, but I have same view as you.But Its a really good thing that there is no reduction in immigration plans for next 3 years. 1 million new immigrants planned intake until 2020 .
I am worried about wait until now but also i am hopeful, If i cant make it in this lenient plan of immigration, then i am not meant to be in Canada.
I am also getting worried about my employment opportunities as 40 year old after 1.5 year.(i have not got ITA yet, so assuming it will take 1-1.5 year to implement transition plan and land)
With 2800 avg ITAs, the CRS is more or less in sweet spot zone of 430-440. ITAs needs to rise to 3200-3500 now for CRS to decrease further.I am expecting that to happen in Mid -Jan but really want it to happen from next draw.
For the first time in forever i am feeling 'realist' about this Express entry thing, may be because of lot of other factors and life events.
"I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been seen from airplane above. I hope."
I haven't seen any changes in the immigration policy considering the announcement of the 2018 multi-level immigration plan, so does that mean that the existing CRS calculating factors would remain the same for the coming years? Has there been any news regarding any abrupt changes in the points calculating criterion?
If anyone has any news, pls do share it with us here. Thanks & happy immigration asap, in Canada, to every member of this forum

yes it is not a substantial increase in the number but it is progressive.
IMO this is just a start the number will go up to 4-5 lacs in the coming years. There are lot of logistical and infrastructure related changes that are to be made if the numbers have to go up steeply. CIC at present is not in a situation to address those increased numbers. Technologically they have to make lot of changes for faster and accurate processing of these numbers.
But im positive that the CRS will touch 400 at least if not go below 400. We have to wait till the 2018 quota is taken up for disbursement and most likely will happen from january and the draw size would be like what we have seen last year during that period jan-may at 3500-4000 and will push the crs down
Good luck to all those who has score around 400-420 and who have time of 4-6 months
