Ray of Hope - 70th Draw!

[trumprefugee]

let's just hope for next week

Biweekly draws for the rest of the year, plus a weekly draw here and there, sound good and realistic. We already had our weekly draw last week, so we're still good for now.

This is exactly what I had in my mind..

They say he is just romantic poet , but somehow his few words has big meaning even more than philosphical thinkers

He does have some great quotes.

“Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.”

what if Today CIC gives you a deal that gives you an ITA but with a string that the processing time would be 8-10 months.
Will you take it?

I think you already have

I attended a session and the presenter was an old IRCC member.

She said that the main factor in conducting draws is their capacity to process applications.. she said "as long as we have the capacity to process applications, we will continue with large draws, until we do not have anymore capacity and then we would minimize the number of draws and ITAs issued".

Guys.. remember.. deadline for applications from May (last large draw) are by the end of this month..

Recent trends really show that they just reached their capacity. 4 weeks without a draw.. then 2 draws.. then another 3 weeks without a draw.. lower number of ITAs... Is somebody can't take it anymore!

Maybe....

16th Aug .Draw was not feasible as then 4 draws in Aug or no draw for rest of the half month.

When the summer gets over, all their staff will be working full throttle , sipping coffee from the new coffee vending machine. Now lets pray and telepathetically try to put this coffee machine idea into their supervisor's mind.

Sir if you are reading this, please take care of the new request.

Yes. It's the uncertainty that is very stressful. When you know something is progressing, even if it is progressing very slowly, you develop the right expectations and can plan around it. But this not knowing is what's really stressful and frustrating. You keep waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting but need to be ready to act on a moment's notice. That's how our lives are put on hold. If there is some certainty, then we adjust and plan around what's expected to happen. I am really stressed out because I will be losing another 11 points on my birthday in February. Oh and my NOI will expire on January 10. If I knew for sure that I would be able to get an ITA on time, I wouldn't be stressed and frustrated like this. I wouldn't mind postponing my move to Canada for another year or two if I knew it would definitely happen. More time in the US lets me save up more money because I am making significantly more money here than I expect to make in Canada, and each month here makes a difference. But I want to be in Canada long term and I want to know that it is going to happen.

On an unrelated note... Has anyone ever heard of theworknumber.com? Many employers contract with them to do employment verification. In the spirit of getting things ready in advance, I dealt with them tonight. You have to come up with the right words to say or they tell you you can't have a report. If you say personal reasons, they say you have to tell us what. If you say immigration, they say (at least in my case) your company has not contracted for that. We tried rental application. They said you have to give the link to the person who wants to do the verification. I wound up practically screaming that I wanted to see what information they are giving people about me.

Then, I had to spell out name, address, etc. After social security number, they made me guess which of five answers of five questions was about me. Like what credit card did I open in 2006. What was my bank in 1986. At least I knew the answer to the street I lived on in 2001. After all that, they finally gave me my PIN.

It feels like these people specialize in telling you that you can't have what you asked for. Grrrrrr.

Thanks for allowing me to rant.

I also hope this 23rd Aug draw will beat the predictions by a good margin on the lower side.
Its last draw before my Birthday and new -5 score, so it better be 426

In short, i want 426

Yes, thank you, this is EXACTLY how I feel, except the part about saving money in US!

But all in all you described it to the core!
