Ray of Hope 68th Draw

[andieangel]

was any1 able to understand the reason y there was no draw today...

My guess, vacation days and clearing applications... Comforting myself rather than saying that they are artificially keeping scores above 410 for as long as long as they can...

i think ray of hope should be little more realistic. i feel cic quota is towards near completion and they are not interested in inviting too many ppl now. it was also evident from the fact tht they decteased no. of ita in last two draws and now no draw today. golden phase is over. dreams are shattered.

Oh come on! Don't be so dramatic! It's gonna happen for all of us!

 

[Uhuumm]

I'm new to the thread but have been following it. Just submitted profile today. 427 is the CRS score. Hopefully it's good enough for the next draw or a future draw, any thoughts

Ladies and gentlemen.. Today am sadly announcing the end of the ray of hope threads series.
Rest in peace ray of hope..
Provided unforgettable moments (January 2017- July 26, 2017)

Why?

 

[andieangel]

Ok, So I am at 438 since June 7th
I thought of giving IELTS once more (4th time) My current IELTS score is L9 S8 R8 W7
I thought if i give IELTS again and increase my W to 7.5 I may get 441

I have no siblings in Canada. I don't speak french.

I am working my ass off to make this happen. What do you think guys, should I give IELTS another chance? I can't believe I am saying this.... but had I just given IELTS and increased my writing to 7.5, I would have got an ITA on July 12.

If the 3 week gap continues, it is difficult for the CRS cut off to fall down. I really anticipated a draw.
So whats your recommendation guys? Give IELTS or it's enough? Mind you it will be the fourth time.

I am (for those of you who know me) very optimistic. However, i am in the pool for 2 years now cos of some mishaps by my consultant. I am losing hope and think I am on borrowed time.

Your ITA is on it's way!

Come on guys the draw will happen , i am at just 412 and still positive i will get ita by september , stay postive ! Most of u are at a good score !

Why?

Because it's easy to be a pessimist Being an optimist takes hard work and determination

So I booked my test (havent paid fees yet) with the hopes that .5 increase in my reading and writing would land my a little above the 400 mark and i'd at least be able to secure a NOI from Ontario......and now this! WTH........and it doesn't help that SINP deemed me ineligible under their EE program coupled with the fact that I lost my brother a few days ago! Ahhh saaaah........when it rains it pours and yet the positive vibes in the thread keeps me hopeful but honestly these days I feel like im fighting a loosing battle..........my emotional battery is critically low where this canadian immigration proce

my CRS is 413...I was preparing documents for OINP...

My CRS is 410 and I finally had my documents ready to upload yesterday and found I could not I have been feeling so bad since yesterday but you all have been a great help with keeping up the hope. I had spent the last 2 weeks diligently and focused almost 100% on collecting all the documents and following up in order to apply for OINP as soon as possible. I finally received the final missing employer reference letter and my new passport Monday night and thought to create my profile but was tired and still had more work to catch up with. I thought tomorrow would be no problem, then got shut out ...

@FaithandFavor I am so sorry to hear about your brother. Yes, when it rains it pours ... I thought I had it bad because I was recently rejected for a job in Toronto that I had really wanted and then got my hopes up of at least progressing with the immigration when I got NOI 2 weeks ago ... then I find yesterday that I can't even apply. I had even thought about applying for FBI PCC today since it takes 3 months to receive the PCC, but I think I will hold off until the OINP opens up again. But we all have to stay strong and hopeful. I'm catching up on the ROH thread here for comfort ... and I want to think that Ontario is pausing its intake of new applications in order to catch up with its current applications and fix the technical issues that have been plaguing the system for the last few weeks. When they open it up to us again, we will be able to submit smoothly, without all the errors and disappearing documents that so many others have experienced lately!

True! Agree 100%! It's hard to be determined, persistent and have big dreams during storm... But it's all sweeter in the end! I'm a believer! Thank you my friend for this reminder!

Everything will fall to it's place when it needs to! I think Universe is saying take a breath, slow down... It will come!

Friday it is, then. I'm gonna keep getting up every morning, I'm gonna keep going to work (even though I hate it), and I'm gonna keep coming home and hitting F5 every Wednesday and every Friday until I get drawn. Who's with me?

Way to go . I am taking a professional course that I refused to take since last year thinking I wouldn't be needing it since I am going to Canada. I am ready to do it now after passing IELTS especially because my employer will reimburse me when I pass. No knowledge is lost and Life must go on

Haha yes, I actually could use a breather. I have been getting busier at work while being almost 100% focused on gathering those documents for OINP application and have been tired from staying up late trying to get everything done.

It's 5:06 pm in Canada! I don't know till what time CIC employees work!

Government employees in the US leave promptly by 5 PM. I wouldn't be surprised if Canadian government employees are that way too.

It's summer! Relax, have a beer, ask our friend @shaun75 how it's done and don't stress about it! It will happen sooner or later! For everyone!

Why so much drama for no latest draws?

Come on guys there’s a phrase that says: “If it’s meant to be…it will be today or tomorrow or someday!,…but it will be.” That’s the way the ITA’s are.

I do not participate much on this thread but I use to read it almost every day, so I ‘know’ some of you and the purposes of the thread too..I’m a lurker here, however if feel comfortable reading jokes and enthusiastic comments regarding the EE process.

Let’s just take it easy and enjoy the journey dudes
