The significant decrease in the CRS threshold over recent months has come in the wake of improvements to the Express Entry system that came into effect on November 19, 2016. Among other changes, the number of points awarded for a qualifying job offer was reduced from 600 to either 50 or 200 points, depending on the position offered. As a result, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) predicted that ‘A reduction of points to candidates with arranged employment means the CRS cut-off will decline.’

Based on recent draws, it would seem that IRCC’s predictions are coming true.

The fact that the number of ITAs being issued has increased over recent draws, as shown below, is another contributing factor to the decrease in the CRS requirement.

Hi Peppers, thanks!

Sir, my post was not intended to offend or look down on @gogedda. Afterall, I am equally here to learn and do not claim any superior knowledge.

However, duplication of questions/answers is a major challenge that has been repeatedly addressed here.

The usual suggestion is that those of us who are relatively new on the thread should at least, make some effort to read the basics before asking questions that already have answers here.

Cheers.

gogedda:


Thanks Boldinc you are a good brother.. Another question...

(1) What's the best way of making the payment for the WES assessment. How did you go about paying yours, I really want to avoid this dollar black market rate... I used an international dollar card... your best bet, as mentioned several times here is to get someone abroad that can help or you get a dorm account and fund with dollars.

(2) I read IQAS is faster and seem to be cheaper than WES....whats the down side of assessing with IQAS.. I do not now much about IQAS

Thanks again all

Weldone Sir, however, your first sentence would have sufficed as a response.....no need to be condescending... just saying

No need to apologize. You don't owe anyone any explanation.

Blackbuddy:


You can use any other evaluating agency, it doesn't have to be WES. Another popular agency is IQAS.

No, he doesn't....but guess what? it shows how mature and educated he really is, and how uncivilized you actually are.

Your lack of reasoning to differentiate between insult and advice on how to get more information on issues that have been repeatedly discussed shows how truly civilized you are. Ice age human

floyo001:

Thanks for your response.
based on the info that I've seen in the thread, that most free online fax service don't allow more than 5 pages, is it ok to assume that you sent all stated docs in two separate fax messages?

Also, is it ok to use the mailing system that Naija schools use to send transcripts ok? or should one consider using speed mail ups, fedex or dhl ( I really do not know what Naija schools use)

Thanks

50something:
I just finished reading this thread after 3days.

I want to enter the pool, but I want to be clear on some things before I start the process.

I currently work in the Finance department of a bank, it can be said that we perform accounting functions. Having gone through the NOC, my job function falls between two different unit groups (1431 and 1311). That is where it got tricky for me, non of the roles have all that I do. So I am confused on which to pick, not knowing if there are benefits for picking any particular role.

Please help with assistance, as I am going to pay for ielts today, so that I can finally start this process.
