Yes, But it will be left to Immigration officer's discretion and I read some where
only 1 out 16 cases is usually rejected for lack of points. If they stick to 75
points they can not even make 100,000 PRs/year.

Well.. I check the canadian immigration website and it says if you are below pass marks then you will not qualify. I want to make sure that should i apply if i have 73 or 74 points or not. Has anyone qualified under new rules with points below 75.

You heard wrong - only less than 2% of cases are historically approved on the
discretionary basis. There are plenty of cases with 75+ points already pending and
new one are still coming - so, Canada will have absolutely no problem meeting it's
annual immigration targets.

Law is pretty strict - pass mark not reached means refusal, unless processing officer
with the consent of the second officer decides that number of points awarded is not a
sufficient indicator of whether the skilled worker may become economically
established in Canada. And again - it will be less than 2% of such decisions, if that
"many" at all.

Then why is it they are proposing to reduce the mark to 70 in March 2003?

Where did you hear such nonsense? It is just another gossip or rumor flying around
various newsgroups.
