It looks like, all over for this year..and no hopes for January either, as the cut off scores are going to be too high...sitting on 441 with hopes fading...
Breaking News there will be a draw today, 99,99% sure as I have been advised by one of the lawyers who has a tie connection with CIC . it will be around 12:00-1:00 PM UTC . expected cut off 444 .
I hope you realize that the express entry pool had 0 applicants with CRS 446 or above on November 28th (November 28, 2018 at 12:14:59 UTC) after the previous draw had happened.
So, 90% or more of those who got invites today have created their profile in the last 2 weeks with a score of 446 or more OR are those who increased their score to 445 or more in the last 2 weeks.
Unless there is a 1 week gap draw or lesser than 14 day gap draw, the downward pressure on the cut off will be limited with the ever increasing intake.
I am already enrolled in a post graduate diploma course for a year. The course would be completed next year in July. However was expecting with 441 I would get ITA within a few draws.
The cut off is very predictable nowadays. The only surprise is that the intake levels are increasing like crazy, so the cut off should not be surprising at all.
I had predicted CRS 444 cut off with a variance of +/-1 and that's what happened.
