Hi Friends,

I have one more query... My wife who is the primary applicant has more then 12 yrs experience but she was on sabbatical from 2011- 2013 so in the work history do I need to mention this break period as there is a gap in between her jobs.

Thanks

Only 988 Ontario nominations are remaining for this year. Do you guys still think it would re-open?
Ontario processed around 1000 nominations last month. HCP is closed, but other streams are still open. So it's highly unlikely that they will re-open HCP this year. Most likely it will open in February 2018 with new quota, by that time existing NOI would have expired as well.

you dont need to mention this in the EE. for post-ITA you can put it in the personal history, as long as she is not claiming points basis this work experience

My CRS scores got increased from 369 to 444 as a result of the recent IELTS results(9 Sep exam), albeit my age as an attribute was against me(35). Scores are Listening: 8.5, Reading: 9, Writing:8, and Speaking: 8.5. Furthermore, I also made my spouse appear for the test.

I just sincerely hope that I get the IELTS TRF from the British council later week, which will help enable me to input/update the reference number on the EE profile.

Do you guys reckon a draw in the region of 440-450 can happen in the month of October?

I am assuming he/she meant L 7.5, R 8.0, W 7.0, S 8.5. Because that is the order of the test generally.
One way to boost the CRS is to rewrite and aim for a minimum of 8777 in LRWS respectively.

I am waiting at 448 too. I am hoping for the same haha

But most people on here seem to think it will be in the 430s. IF that is true ,we are good.

There is no change in the situation from past the things to be noted are as following.

After increasing ITA numbers on 24th march 2017 the score was 441.

Then they done 3 back to back draws of 3700-3800 ITAs in april on 5th, 12th and 19th. Which pushed the score rapidly down to 415.

Now after june changes the score went upto 449 again, then they gradually started to reduce the number of ITAs first score gone down to 441 then it stuck to this range.

As soon as they done 2 back to back draws the score again pushed down to 433 despite 2700-2800 ITAs.

The reason why scores are stuck between 433-435 is that they have reduced the ITAs by 1000 on avg, and draws are happening every 2 weeks.

If they do 3 back to back draws with 3600-3800 ITAs again the score will drop in 410s even now the difference is only that.

The score will soon drop to 400s when they start doing some back to back draws with high number of ITAs.

So do you mean to say that scores will be stuck in the 430s or do you mean to say that they will reduce further?

The main question now is "WHEN WILL THAT BE?"... sitting pretty at 416 :)
