Ray of Hope - 72nd Draw

[iluvtomorrowland]

Thanks for the help and concern guys. I think it is better to wait only then till december.. hopefully she gets a nomination from BC and Ontario.. and good luck for coming draw

In your case, it is better to complete 2 years before creating express entry profile. I doubt if the situation will improve even if you create it now as you'll still be deemed ineligible for all the categories under express entry. She will only be nominated by BC or Ontario if she is already in pool and meets the minimum criteria of FSW. Hope that helps and wish you luck.

@tarunkapoor @imxty @chr0 @mapleleaf987 Thanks Guys, yes she isnt meeting 67. Infact her score is 66. The sad part is CRS is not affected whether she is one year or two year work ex but Come to canada tool is cribbing about this. My doubt here was even though C2C tool is showing her ineligible, it is generating a reference number which is a must for EE profile. Should she go ahead and create a EE profile with this reference number? I am not even sure that will she be eligible to submit it after creation of profile..

CRS points and FSW points are entirely different. FSW points indicate towards your eligibility for express entry and CRS has nothing to do with it.

Also, reference number that C2C tool generates is not at all mandatory for EE profile. You provide one if you have one. That number is just to pull up your information that you previously fed into C2C tool, so that you don't have to feed it again. CIC doesn't reject your application if you don't have it.

if we look further back,to before the EE,or immediately on launch of EE ,the picture was still a lot tougher...there are ppl still in the pool who had waited 2-3 years with paper application,when cic said,come apply afresh through EE ..many got pushed behind many of us because they are bit older,didn't have masters,or didn't score that high in ielts...
Anyway it is good call to wait till Dec because I still genuinely feel things will fall in place by then and you'll have your ita ...and anyway,no harm in getting prepared for alternatives too...
but may be it is a reminder that the life is all not that smooth and on ur call...at times we've to persevere to get to the end...esp with regard to Canada as they are trying to build on strength from the immigrant population driven economy & are not inviting us all to cater to presently existing needs...it's like they want us to be there and make things work for ourselves and fellow citizens...so it won't be without some serious struggles and a bit of patience to start with will surely help...
only airing my opinion...
best of luck to you and every expectant here...

Dont know much about economies and immigration, just knows about the people and feelings. Your heart is 24karat. Thank you for being there as wonderful help.

I find myself in similar situation. However, I don't smoke 25+ a day. I usually keep it between 5-10 a day. I have tried to quit it multiple times. I remember, there was a time when I didn't smoke for a month but like you said, one puff and I was back in the game.

One of my friend who was heavy smoker adapted the same technique as mentioned by you and he was able to quit. Now he smokes only when we drink together.

Seriously, I need to consider this and indulge myself in other physical activities. Thanks much buddy.

I never smoked but have heard from many smokers that this book can do wonders:

All this talk of quitting smoking and I picked it up again a couple of weeks ago after 18 months of staying away from it. I thought I was over it. But the lemons life gives you are sometimes only edible with a smoke to follow it.

Good luck to all of us.

Thank you so much for this. I'll definitely read this.

Haha, once a smoker is always a smoker. You just can't resist it, can you?

Hahaha yeah. My field of work doesn't help either. It's very rare on a construction project that someone doesn't smoke. Site, office, construction worker or chief engineer: doesn't matter.

When did you start smoking? I tried it a few times in college, but by the time I joined my first job out of college, I was hooked.

I started 7 years ago. Didn't even touch in college though, I used to hate smokers back then.

Hahaha I hated them too. But like they say, sometimes you become the things you hate the most.

That's true.

Could you please tell me the process or any format that you showed for PPF and savings a/c

We did not show savings a/c as POF.
For PPF, we got bank letter (mentioning all the required details) and statement from SBI on letterhead.

Only if I quite smoking and push my body.

I have been telling myself to quit smoking for quite sometime now but I always end up busting my lungs. However, major summits in Canada are going to be major inspiration and hopefully I'll quit one day and lead a disciplined life.

And this is what I call another ray of hope
Inshallah.

Now what...you had 18 months of break or couple of weeks of break ? ...it is just for you to decide ... ..glass is always half empty for you to fill in more,for those who look for the opportunity...
you could say,fine,the vacation is over,and time to get back into business and put off ur smokes for another 18...
Only ones to lose, would be the cig companies ...not anyone else that someones "quit it already" isn't a perfect ride or is just a bit bumpy..
