Ray of Hope 63rd Draw

[Raghu_21]

Hi guys..My CRS score is 397..are there any chances the score will drop below 400 any soon.?
Or should I give IELTS again to improve the score?

What if there isn't any more draw in May-2017?

Then it will be in June ) but hopefully it will be on May 31

CIC likes Wednesday.

I checked history of past draws and found that only on 2 occasions they had draws on Friday. (March 24 2017 and December 16 2016). In both these cases there were only 2 draws in a month.

So it is highly unlikely of draw to happen today. But lets hope for the best!

Hello, my first writing result was 6, then I got 7,5.
What I did are:
- read as much as best essay samples as possible: formal/informal letters, and writing task 2 essays
- set your standard format for intro and conclusion, and always follow it
- use different sentence structures: passive voice, conditionals, inversions and etc.
- for writing task 1 learn both formal and informal words and phrases, differentiate them well
- for writing task 2 I tried to avoid obvious connecting words like, first of all, secondly etc. Instead I tried to make the coherence look more natural, e.g. "further and even more importantly' (I strongly recommend you to read 'IELTS Write Right' PDF). Besides try to vary your vocabulary: learn synonyms of words that are related to topics like social problems, youth crime, education, traditions, technologies, health and etc (you can find further topics on the internet)
- start with the task 2, take time to plan and to proofread.
- do not waste your time counting the words, instead count the number of words of your first line and then count the lines. If it is about 170 for Task 1 and 270 for task 2, you are on the safe side.
- try to bring good and different arguments
- for the body part of the task 2, I stated my point, explained why I think so and then gave an example. Each paragraph had around 3 sentences.

This is all can remember.

Good luck

Before it happened on December 16 2016 it had never happened and before it happened on March 24 2017 it had happened only once.

also before it happened on may 4th 2017, i doubt if it ever happened on a thursday as well. so there is always a first time. especially for cic and we are all counting on it, isn't it?

my lawyer created my profile on the 23rd for the first time. no idea if anyone got noi after that. maybe they have already issued the noi's for this month.

OINP is currently processing April/May applications and will issue new NOI after that. The next predicted date of issuance of majority NOI is 10th June so any profiles created near this date will have high chances for getting selected.

Two more draws! that's what I think. The third draw from today or fourth at max, will be the one people in my segment will be preparing their documents to submit their applications.

hi, so when you say near 10th may, would 23rd may count as near that date? my profile was created on that day. do you think i can expect noi in june maybe i.e. if i don't get a direct ita till then?
