Ray of Hope - 85th Draw

[aac31]

Guys still trying to make sense of the distribution. As of march 8th, the pool distribution for those above 451 is 2674(490 + 2184). Now if the cutoff date is March 3rd, how did 3000 candidates come in above 456?

The cut-off date is only used for the tiebreaker. Many candidates have a 456 score, but not all are selected. In this case, priority is given according to the date the profile is submitted, this is where the cut-off date is used.

Exactly, I am trying to figure out the same calculation. It just doesn't add up right?

Yep. If you see the pool distribution post the 21st feb draw(cutoff 442) , the pool above 451 would basically be zero. Experts help please? @abhishek_89

To add to this...we are assuming all 2184 are above 456 which may not be the case..Can it also happen that a no. less than 3000 actually get the email for ITA or Is 3000 ITA's are given now

Only one explanation. PNP and those boosting up scores due to various other means.

The only explanation to this would be that many people with a CRS score higher than 456 became part of the pool after 8th march.

You misunderstood me. As of march 8 there are a total of 2674 ppl in the pool above 451. How can there be more than 3000 ppl in the pool above 456 on march 3rd?

Waiting at 431 since June 28, 2016... The hope is really getting diminished now.....
Although congratulations to everyone who got ITA today....

 

[Oksamjackson]

I can see the result from Ghana also. I had 483 CRS score and I can now relax and wait for my ITA. All the best to anyone who couldn't make it today cos you time is coming soon

Ditto

But any addition in the pool after march 3rd is basically not relevant in this draw.

It is relevent as long as the score is higher than 456. The tie break is used for people sitting at 456. So if two people have the score 456, the one who made his/her profile on or before 3rd march was invited. But if your score is 457, 458 and so on then obviously you're selected no matter when you make your EE profile.
