just 189 ppl left in pool above 470.. but in last two weeks, almost 3300 new candidates with score more than 472 joined that pool.. that's something to worry about!!

Hi guys,
I created profile in January and at that time I was at 456.
On September 1st my points increased to 471 and I updated my profile.
Should I still expect an ITA?

thank you

Yes, you'll get ITA

Congratulations to everyone who received an invitation!

A score drop of only 1 point since the last draw will surely be disappointing to many, but predictions for 469-470 were actually quite optimistic considering the large pool of candidates in that score bracket, see https://www.ee-stats.com/draws/164

In my view it will be a tall order for the draw scores to drop much further than this.

Wow. That’s a huge number. 3300+

On average, how long does it take for the ITA's to land. We are in the pool with 474 points so I guess we should be expecting one?

Hi guys, I need clarification on a dilemma, I am at 470 and my profile expires on 14th of October which could be the day of the next draw. Also, my birthday is on the 15th, that's the next day and I'd lose 5 points. What do you advise in this situation?

 

[akh136]

Hi guys, I have 471 CRS
Had created profile last year, it expired this year in July, recreated on 5 Aug, 2020. Will I get an invite ?

I wonder if some people have been rejecting ITA's and reentering the pool. Ecen so I guess that would be a small number. 3300 people is a lot within a span of two weeks considering the current situation.
