Ray of Hope - 73rd Draw

[jackdawn]

This is not correct. Please see the article mentioned in the previous posts.

I am not aware of how the system was before, but after 28th July 2017, because of the exemption made for Age, "you will not lose points after receiving an ITA". This is only for Age though, rest all are the same as before.

yes yes u r right i quoted ur post again, i mis quoted in the first line of previous post

Mis quoted the first line of public policy act under section A11.2


Exemption to section A11.2: candidates whose birthday occurs after they receive an ITA


An applicant may have a birthday after they receive an ITA but before they submit their e-APR. Their change in age may lower their CRS score below the lowest score in the round of invitations. It may also result in the applicant no longer meeting the minimum requirements of the FSWC and, consequently, no longer meeting the MEC, resulting in a refusal based on section A11.2.

When a change in age results in the candidate no longer meeting the MEC or having their recalculated CRS points score fall below the lowest points score in that round of invitations, officers should consider applying the public policy to exempt applicants for permanent residence from certain age-based requirements between invitation to apply and application, based on section A25.2. This consideration can result in an exemption from the refusal of an application under section A11.2.

This public policy also grants an exemption to applicants who may be refused for failing to meet FSWC program requirements when their birthday occurs between the ITA and e-APR.

Correct.

Age is frozen on the day you receive an ITA. The officers actually look at the age factor (as shown in GCMS notes) but if there is any change the applicant is exempted by a statutory instruction.

Hi,

You are doing the right thing.

You can also visit ieltsliz.com and engvid.com, these are in my opinion the two best IELTS prep sites.

All the best

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.

Thanks @wickerman, i do not know why i thought i would lose 15!?

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 can vouch for ieltsliz.com. Got to know this site only a few days before my test, but the instructions helped me to improve my Writing and Speaking, which were the weakest part. If I had known this site before and have enough time, then I am confident that I could've scored a band higher.

Another site which I frequented was ieltsmaterial.com. You can subscribe to this site to get a daily mail with some material to prepare.
Like reading passages on some days, and writing tasks on other.
