So are they going to continue with the PNP/CEC trend again?

It seems that as long as there are enough CEC applicants above 431, CEC will continue.

I am sure none of us expected CEC with 445 as the cut off score.

During these uncertain times it is impossible to predict anything.
I don't think any score can be considered safe now, until we see the return of all program draws consistently for Atleast 3 months.

From January 2021, UK immigration will start based on a points based system and job offer. Hopefully New Zealand Immigration will resume from January 2021 too with 160+ cut off scores.

Trump is keeping his election manifesto tight lipped but his main fighting point will be the release of a brand new points based immigration system. Even if he doesn't come back to power that's a positive thing for FSW candidate's.

Wonder if all these factors will impact CRS scores or not. At the moment it's too early and way to risky to speculate anything.

Frankly it is now a luck game, you should give your 100% and then it is left to IRCC

Time to learn French people..

I think their strategy may be to conduct FSW draws once a month in addition to PNP and CEC, as opposed to fortnightly pre Covid.

COngrats CEC, everything for you!

Anything is possible at this stage

Didn't expect CEC scores to jump so fast in such short a time

I hope so, I think that is the most fair policy during covid times

I dont think IRCC is thinking of whats is fair for the applicants. I believe they base their decisions purely on what's best for Canada at the moment a draw is to happen. But, like I said, anything can happen like it did 2 weeks ago..

@BlindGoku, is it possible to achieve NCLC 7 in TCF within 6 months for a beginner?
