Have you already received an ITA ?
Not yet but I want to be prepared in advance. As I talk about previous trends, every time after CRS 440 or 441, CRS went down to 434 and 431 respectively even the draw had occurred after two weeks. Hence, I am confident that this time also it will be around 430(+-)4.

I was thinking of this too. I took French in high school, so I know the basics.

The maximum you can boost your score is by 24 points. It is 6 points maximum per section (readings, writing, listening speaking). Knowing my level of French? I think the most I can hope for is 4 in total.

24 points is a lot for someone on 404 like myself.. Any points for the wife taking it?

What is POF?

hhat
POF = Proof of Funds

My money is in the UK in an account under someone elses name.. long story ;)

So I need to get over to the UK, reactivate my account and get the money transferred into it and then get a gift deed notarised because it's easier to say it was a gift rather than my income going into another persons account.

Hey but in this way how will you prove that the money existed for 6 months in yoir account its a mandate. I am facing the same issue. Money required is in my account but not for 6 months.plz help if you can
 
If you could delegate your daughter to study French full time and take the TEF exam for you, then you'd be all set with additional points! ;)

Hahaha! I will bribe her with lots of Barbie dolls! :p

If it is a gift with all the proper documents, it is not mandatory to be in your account for 6 months.
 
Come on CIC!

Not only do we want a draw on July 19, but also one with huge number of ITAs, say 4000+ to push the CRS down!

Come On !!!

Like it so much! :)

Are you sure of this?..the only thing that prevents me of filing the OINP is the six months mandate. My consultant has told me that you need to maintain the funds for 5 months atleast.

You can check this link for common documents:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-how.asp

I would recommend to apply for police certificates for countries where you have lived for more than 6 months. Some of them (US PCC) may take up to 3 months to make ready. You can also take upfront medical check.
 
My prediction for today's draw:

427 (+/-2) 3200 ITAs
425 (+/-2) 3400

No calculations done, purely based on my instinct, logic and HOPE! :D

Your consultant is an idiot..

You can receive the money as a gift however you need a gift deed notarized by a lawyer saying it's a gift and you are not required to pay it back etc etc..
