A GAP OF 3 WEEKS BETWEEN DRAWS MAY INCREASE CRS SCORE
Parting from standard patterns for 2018, IRCC held up 3 weeks between the past Express Entry draw and the 85th draw on March 14th. This is likely the reason the base CRS score cut-off expanded from 442 points to 456 points.
Gratefully, IRCC is proceeding with the pattern of issuing 3,000 ITAs each round. With this high number of ITAs issued in each draw, if there are more successive draws, there is a solid probability that the CRS score would drop.
