Ray of hope 65th draw

[BillHyatt]

It was a huge surprise from CIC, I just came back today to this forum and everything was changed. FSTP always used to be few in numbers with low crs scores, and therefore, CIC might have given them chance this time. Also, a year back there was news that CIC may do separate draws for PNP/FSTP and CEC/FSW but there was no such event till yesterday. The second thing was conducting PNP/FSTP on each Friday like IEC and CEC/FSW on Wednesdays on fortnightly basis.

Now there are two possibilities either it was the test run of such proposal, or it was just another theory of CIC (It may be true if we do have draw this Wednesday). 60% of people in Express Entry are from CEC, 27% from PNP, 12% from FSW, and only 1% from FSTP. Having different scores for all four categories will assure that everyone will have equal chance to get selected.

My Predictions: It is my guess that Scores for CEC will be lower than FSW scores due to more applicants in the pool (if we have separate draws). Also, if the trend of this type of draw continues then we will see PNP/FSTP applications to be concluded within 3 months instead of 6 months after June Changes.


OINP Updates:

OINP will start distributing nominations from next week. So, applicants with the decision in progress till 26th May have high chances of getting nominations in the upcoming week. Good Luck for that.

Finally, the only thing I am 100% sure is that CIC have a lot of surprises for us in the future.

Well.. For OINP.. i feel those are really following this forum and are in the range of 400 to 415 and with OINP.. would less likely to go for OINP route as their chances of getting ITA are high..

Rest those (still 400 - 415 & OINP) who are not on the forum and not well educated by lawyer(to gain monetary benefit from clients)..May opt for OINP route..

[bukhari917]

guys, why am i not getting noi? my profile was created on the 23rd of may.

I am at 409 and i also didn't get NOI. I was expecting though. I don't know why

 

[nilanjana]

Have you created job bank account along with EE profile number and job seeker validation code?

Or

incase your EE profile is recreated then have you updated your job bank profile with new EE profile number and job seeker validation code?

Also ask your lawyer to share a letter which states you are in the pool once your job bank profile is linked with EE profile..

it is the first scenario: mine is a new ee profile. i did not have any profile prior to this. lawyer created the ee profile and i created the job bank account with ee profile number and job seeker code. the lawyer has also emailed me saying that i am in the pool. do you know if i can check my ee profile or whether i have received noi with the ee profile number? or because i went through lawyers they have a different system or password that i have to know to check my profile?

when was your profile created?

 

[bukhari917]

when was your profile created?

Mid February

 

[nilanjana]

Mid February

to get noi you have to re-create your profile after may 1st. go ahead and withdraw your old profile and create a new one.

It is my understanding that to claim points you should have been awarded a degree or certificate from a recognised Institute or DLI in case you studied in Canada. You can get points in EE for a degree not awarded yet, but if you got ITA then you will be required to provide proof of studies and in that case, your application dates must match your profile dates otherwise your application will be cancelled for being incomplete or misrepresented.

However, my understanding may not be true, so the best option is to write an email to your university or better meet an assigned immigration consultant at your university.

So guys, I had to almost rub my eyes strenuously on reading the 63rd and 64th draws CRS cutoff. I could only believe it happened after reading in detail the ministerial instruction on cic.

Do we really expect a normal draw next week with under 415 CRS cutoff?

I have received Ontario PNP NOI. As much as I now understand, I should wait for the next EE draw to happen, and then take a decision on accepting the NOI... is this right?

regards

Pls pls one more question... if i studied from jan 15 to november 16..

These are 1 or 2 academic years?

 

[Aspire_Dream_Canada]

I desperately want the draw on 31st Hopefully there should be 1 more draw before 6th June.... mostly on 2nd june if not 31st. Please pray it happens and crs score drops...
By calculations best guess is 2nd june with crs score 410 and what if it happens post 6th ??
Is the 63rd and 64th draw good news or bad news for us?

 

[islammaidul]

How long have you been in the pool bro?

for 2 years (approx.), bro...

 

[nilanjana]

per year if there were 2 semesters and you completed 4 semesters in total then the program duration is counted as two academic years.

In my opinion, it will change nothing.

However, in worst case, the first draw after 6th will not see a decrease in CRS, but after that everything will be normal.
