Ray of Hope - 70th Draw!

[thisworks]

Therefore, this is my conclusion:

• in order to target a number of immigrant in a certain year, you have to issue its latest invitations 5-7 months earlier, right? This is the average processing time for an express entry candidate. So, let's say I had already targeted a number of immigrants for 2017, but realized from the number of accepted invitations when I reached the latest month to take an action (April/ May 2017) that I'm far away from my target, what shall I do? Exactly what CIC did, sending enourmous amount of invitations in a short period to catch up with my plan (considering that starting from June, I have to send invitations for people who will arrive in 2018). Then after sending, I have to stop a bit, review my target, evaluate the process of the previous year, give my employees their vacations (because it's summer and they don't really enjoy the weather except in these days) relax and plan for the next year, and make two draws only to fill up missing numbers and get into the new year wisely, because I don't want the same rush that happened in April and May again. This is the summary of June and July.

Now, I'm in August, I will look back to the previous year (which was the first year to have such a big target) and observe the trends to balance the pool throughout the year.

That logic seems reasonable to me, I sort of agree.

Not at all. All detailed here:
Ray of Hope - 70th Draw!

Hi,

I have been observing the draws of the express entry system since its inception , January 2015. My application is little over 2 years old; and by this time i have lost 10 points due to age factor. My current score is 402 and it will come down to 397 in January 2018. I would like to know that is there any opportunity that the express entry score will go below 397 in January 2018. I am an optimistic person but after waiting for such a long time now i have some doubt about express entry points going below 400. This the thread of hope and i don't want to bring pessimism, but i need real facts. Could you guys make an effort with all your experience, skill and intelligence to devise a rational projection of future draws result, so that we could really say whether we have a chance or not. My IELTS score is L 8.5, R 7.5, W 7, S 7 and it will expire on June 2018. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Being realistic, the chances are low. At the current rate, the score shouldn't go below 400 in a while (I know a lot of people would say that this isn't right, that's why I'm saying at the current rate). As the score goes lower, the gap in reduction decreases and it takes some time for the score to reach that low.

But on the good side, it's really impossible to tell the plans of the CIC, so anything is possible. I believe that the score will go below 400, but not that fast.

It is not easy to get the 7.5 in writing and speaking in IELTS, but i tried twice and have got the present score.

I think you should re-create your profile. You should get a nomination for Ontario before the end of the year. That's your best bet.

What about only 1 draw in June? How about compensation for that? Sorry for sounding rude, this frustration is taking the best of me...

There's a best of you side? Can't wait to see that.

Is that a six month or nine month processing time?

Lots of hugs.

Hahaha! Well I've been in the pool for 10 months so when score hit 413 in May, I was sure my turn is next and then pause, which continues...

I have moments of weakness, frustration, hope, depression, all at the same time... I'm a woman, feelings are exchanging rapidly!

 

[Wandering Mind]

Yes, it will come to below 400 before January 2018. To me it's common sense because declining rate of ITAs is 40%, CIC is far from filling their qouta, only this waiting period is really hard...

The waiting is definitely a torture. Hang in there, my friend. Your ITA is on its way.

 

[trumprefugee]

You know you have a basic knowledge I imagine, just write whatever you want in French and somebody checks it, then you will learn a lot. By writing we learn a lot and remember useful phrases As you have an advanced level of English, I have no doubt that you will become French speaker one day, you know why I'm saying like that; coz you are so smart!

I need to download your French brain.

We all do, and we patiently waiting soon to be Canadian immigrants are the only ones who know exactly how this feels. I was really focused and motivated for the 2 weeks starting July 11 when I received NOI, working really hard to get all my documents in order, only to find OINP closed the day I was ready to submit. The wait for OINP to reopen has been really rough on me, and it has been only 3 weeks since July 25! So I come here to keep the hope and spirits up.

Fair enough. I guess you are allowed a little frustration on both accounts - the wait and the fact you are a woman. My wife always says she would get off with murder using that second excuse... although probably my murder.

 

[trumprefugee]

Drain the account if it's going to give you a proper increase

Agreed. We need to pursue all viable options. I would be happy to drain $1500 from my account for OINP if they would just reopen. I am usually frugal, so my eagerness to give Ontario $1500 is significant.

This thread has been a great comfort - I've "met" some amazing people here who've inspired me to remain positive and persistent in my immigration efforts.

Good luck to you @trumprefugee and to each and every person here who's dreaming the Canadian dream.
