I agree with the rest of what you quoted. May be not on the dot. Few numbers Plus or minus..
I am even expecting one to be drawn this Friday itself. (I wish)..
Not serious, just curious.
The reason I ask is , as a user of this forum, I find it very difficult to look at tens of threads to find out threads which have useful information in them. So, it is easier if we don't have general chit-chat/informal threads mixed up with ones having serious info.
It might be a good idea to have a section called "Predictions/ General Timepass" where people can do all informal stuff.
my prediction is 6th draw would be before the end of march.
reason being 4 draws were done in month of FEB (technically as first draw was on 31st jan) so i am guessing they covered 1 draw of january in feb and conducted 2 draws of feb as well in FEB.
so i think there would be two draws every month.
as per the cut off score i dont think it would go down lesser than 10 to 12 points from 5th draw ....so i am predecting
6th draw cut off to be 468- 470 as the amount of people in this number are huge.
ITA i think would be around 2500-3000
however its just a predection. and anything can happen.
i am sitting on 402 so i am not expecting anything for another two to three months and if its before that i would be more than happy.
the information about the dates of draws are wrong.

you can check it on cic webiste i would have pasted the link but the forum doesnt allow me to
Why do you think it is huge? All LMIA holders ended in 4 draws (I am talking about applications with LMIA down the road now). 458 points (everything over 400) is those with Post-Bacc or Masters or PhD + at least 1 year of work experience in Canada + 3+ years of work experience anywhere else, 29 yrs old. So they are CEC applicants. Not "a huge" amount of them there.

agreed! still it would be more than the candidates with job offers or PNP. looking at the first 4 draws where only people with job offers or PNP were invited to apply to migrate and those number of invitations were in betwen 800 to 1200, dont you think there would be more people with masters and 1 year of work experience and less than 29 years of age. i personally know atleast 10 to 12 people who are in the pool whose score is between 400 and 450
