Ray of Hope 66th Draw

[yadwinder998]

Hello Everyone,

I am at 441 CRS Score. Does anyone know if NOC (Skill Level A or B) has an Impact on the ITA (I selected 2282 , Skill Level - B) ?

 

[yadwinder998]

Hey guys I am at 446 points. Is there any chances for me?? I created my profile on 13th June

I think you stand a fair chance in the next draw

CIC rules are that both at the time of ITA and at the time of submission of eAPR, you should have equal or more points than the cut off point for the draw you got ITA for...
it means ur score will be recalculated at the time when they start the process on ur eAPR...
In the event of you submitting eAPR before your marriage,your eligibility not be affected..however you are required to update any changes in ur personal details to CIC and I believe you can notify CIC about your marriage immediately after marriage through a CSE.
in the event of you getting married before getting an ITA,you should update your EE to that effect.
In the even of u getting married after getting ITA and before eAPR is submitted,your CRS will be recalculated and you are sure to be rejected if the new score (with spouse) is lower than the cut off for the draw on which you got ITA...so it may be wise to decline your ITA and update ur EE with the spouse details.
If you get married between ITA and eAPR and,your new score still remain above the cut off, you can proceed with eAPR and raise a CSE and ask spouse to be included.write a letter of explanation.

Great answer.
Very complete and precise. Thank you very much.

To add even more value to the answer:
CSE = Case-specific enquiry

Hello, I have just uploaded my EE profile and waiting for the next draw @ 428 CRS.
My residence is in Dubai and all my work experience is from Dubai, I will be going to Toronto next month on a visitor visa, hopefully after AOR. I intend to stay there during the entire process of my application and will apply for extension of my visit visa if need be.

My query is that though being a UAE resident, can I continue my application being in Canada. In an unlikely state, If I am called for interview, will I have to come back to Abu Dhabi or can it be done in Canada itself.

Thank you for kind help in answering my query

Are you having DIP status more than 10 days. 5122 is also near to full and I think it may slow down the Nominatin process.

This is exactly the reason why CRS score will not go below 400. Cic has full control over the cut-off score, all they have to do is let the pool fill up (just like they're doing now) and the threshold will automatically go up.

I read how a lot people worry and hope that the score will go below 400. Why not being proactive and instead of waiting for the score to go down why not do something for your personal score to go up? Retaking the IELTS and getting to CLB9 is the quickest way to get a full-boost of points.

2 years ago, I was miserably sitting at 346 points, I decided to start taking French classes and work on my IELTS. Today because I was able to achieve IELTS CLB9 and TEF B2. I received an enormous boost of points that accrued me a total of 432 points. Today I am little less anxious and just hoping that I will receive ITA.

My point is that don't expect everything to land on your lap. For your information I had to take the IELTS 4 ti

Spot on mate. I took the IELTS twice. Got CLB 9. Now taking French classes.

Does anyone know whether it is mandatory to update the section under Research in the CIC profile?

Because of this new sub section under Work History, the Work History section is showing up as "In-Progress".

I have updated the details (its a research questionaire and it is mentioned below that it does not affect my chances of getting picked). But I reverted the changes because what if my profile goes into submitted but waiting for verification stage and the a new draw happens and I lose out on the opportunity because my profile was in the inactive stage at that time.

Any chance for CRS 412 in coming few ITA's ?

Yes for sure within the next few draws you should get your ITA

Hi @BillHyatt, what of NOC 2145? Sorry for disturbing you.

 

[nsbhullar]

Ya i know ur pain man, i myself wrote 4 times for a clb 9-10 mix (8.5/7.5/7.5/7.5). Screwed up listening in the first, writing in 2nd and 3rd. But that was the only scope for me to get a raise in the score.

Good luck

So got success in 4th attempt, how much gap you suggest between two Ielts tests.

You make some valid points about being proactive and not waiting for things to fall into our laps. But you've overlooked a major stumbling block that keeps people from achieving a higher score - age.

Consider my example - I've a Masters degree and CLB10 in IELTS but my CRS is a meagre 403. Why? Because I'm older than those who get 100 points just because they were born a decade after me

My point is, it's not as simple as you think it is to increase CRS for some of us unless we do a PhD (atleast 4 years), learn French (atleast 1 year) or get an OINP (1500 CAD)

Thanks for listening to my rant Good luck.

Hello,

You also make some valid points. I understand not everyone is under the same situation. But I'll elaborate some more on my profile.

I'm 32 years old so I don't get full points for age either, I don't even hold a bachelor's degree but instead only a two-year degree, I'm only claiming ONE year of foreign experience! And I still managed to get 432 points. I can easily tell you with all confidence that most of those points came from IELTS and TEF. Good to you and everyone else on this chat,
