Ray of Hope - 73rd Draw

[wickerman]

@trumprefugee because i will be turning 36 or will i just be losing 5?

You will lose 5. I am a year behind you. In your 30s you lose 11 points for every 2 years. After you hit 40, you lose 11 points each year.

You don't have 2 degrees. You have one degree and one diploma. That will amounts to the bachelors degree as per Canada standard.

Thanks guy.

My take on this is that you should get an invite in the next draw, if not the one after that. But certainly in the next 2 to 3 draws. Of course I could be wrong but thats what Ive gathered from all the discussions on this forum.

You're lucky. When you turn 36, you will lose only 5 points. It's those of us in our 40s who lose 11 points per year

I am from Kolkata, but moved to Bangalore a couple of years back. Now getting ready to move to Toronto next year

I work with offshore teams in Kolkata and Bangalore!

And, I also thought you were female, because a friend of mine has a female friend named Gurpreet. It can be hard to tell gender with Indian names.

Just be hope full people score r bound to go below 400, bcz 2018 quota is going to announce soon and it will be bigger then this year so more ITA and less cut-off

Thank you dear @Ascent , how are you?

 

[andieangel]

I have seen lots of people assuming that the scores will stick to 430s-440s. And some of them also believe that scores went down after november 2016 changes and its not going down after june 2017 changes.

I just want to say that the difference is not because of june 2017 changes its just because that firstly after changes they done only 1 draw in june and 1 in july.

That means only 2 draws in full 2 months so score is bound to increase and as soon as they did 2 back to back draws in august the score went down from 440s to 433 and now even with 1000 less ITAs on avg the score is stuck at this range and is also not increasing

So suppose if they had been doing 3500-3700 ITAs draw after every 2 weeks the score would have been in 420-425 range and if they had done back to back draws which are key in putting scores down to a range the score would have been at 405-410.

Because the point to be noted is that even reducing 1000 ITAs per draw the score is stuck and its not increasing so the bigger draws will only lower the scores from here.

And I feel as they did last yr after quota got announced they suddenly increased the number of ITAs from november they will do this year also.

Because the minister has said that the 2017 targets are benchmark for future targets and the target will not get lower it will only increase from here. So that clearly means that even if they dont increase the targets for 2018 they will not decrease it.

And to fill up there quota they have to do 3500-3800 ITAs per draw and few back to back draws again as they did in 2017 because lesser number of ITAs wont fill up there target of 2018.

So I think after announcement of quota the number of ITAs will increase and now the scores are stuck that is a good sign because after increase in ITAs the scores will only decrease like before so it will be good if decrease starts from 435-440 rather than shooting up to 450-460 and decrease from there.

I like you! A lot!

Why do you respect women more than men? Thats not gender equality

Good question dear, since there is a gender inequality at most of the places where men get more respect than the women, I try to do the reverse just to strike a balance. Lol

Can I know which company please?

Not all Indian names but yes specifically with Punjabi names you will always have this confusion since same name is used by both men and women, just the surname would be different as in ‘Singh’ for men and ‘Kaur’ for women.

Guess what, since last few years, Punjabis have realised this well and they use modern names according to the gender.

 

[tempmaha]

Is there any predictions so far on 73rd draw, since the IELTS results out recently?

 

[Ali_salem]

Ah, interesting. Some American names are also used for both genders, but there are very few of those. I've often had the experience of working over email and instant messenger with overseas Indian workers and then later finding out that someone I always thought was male was actually female, and vice versa.

I don't want to write about company names in a public forum, but you can PM me if you want to chat more.
