“Express Entry is already getting impressive results in its first month. The fact that everyone who was invited to apply for permanent residence in this round of invitations already has a valid job offer or provincial nomination shows that Express Entry is working to fill Canada’s existing labour market gaps.”

The money quote.

I’m quite surprised that there were only 779 candidates with a Comprehensive Ranking System score of 886 or greater. If CIC could only get that number from people who have obtained a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment or provincial nomination, it seems unlikely that the targets set under the 2015 immigration plan can be met without both increasing the number of candidates selected in each draw and lowering the required score under the Comprehensive Ranking System.

They are "attempting" to "demonstrate" the EE system works. Who are they showing it to ?

Our premise of lowering the scores for further draws is based on assumption that there is not enough LMO/LMIA supply. But there were ~144K LMOs already working all over Canada at end of 2013. And by now number would have increased. Assuming only 40% of them work in NOC 0, A and B and then 50% further qualify for EE; we are still looking at a substantial chunk. CIC must have thought of something when they put the cut-off so high. Looking from their viewpoint; would it not be weird and moreover erode trust in Canada's immigration that within 6 draws they dropped the cut-off by half? Even 600 as a cut-off will be a big variation. I think they have something in mind to fill the quotas like they talked about in presentation about CEC stream. Besides, we have absolutely no idea what the mean and median scores of the pool are. Some people have missed the selection by 3, 11, 20, 100 points; looking at posts in this forum. So if CIC's motivation was to put fear in lot of us; they have kind of succeeded there.
