Ray of Hope - 78th Draw

[hishamx87]

It is no brainer, mistakes happen from humans, and of course they are humans. As tie only happen when 2 numbers are equal, and you can not apply tie breaker rule to the person who have crs score more than the cut-off, before the draw happened.

It's not a mistake / error. First priority is given to those who have a CRS which equals the cut off and their profiles are old. It ignores the applicants even if their score is higher than the cut off unless there's a room available to accomodate them.

 

[hahaHHH]

Well, I'm going to advise all of you who have been waiting for a month and losing hope to just give up, lol. Get out of the pool, and leave the ITAs for people who are willing to claw tooth and nail for them.

Exactly. For those who can't wait, please exit the pool and withdraw their profile. That will for sure lower the CRS a lot quicker !!!

 

[hahaHHH]

Got downgraded today. 420->415
Thats the last 5 point drop for me.

Happy birthday!!! Don't worry about the deduction in points. You live a real life, not a computing, calculating life in a cyber realm. Celebrate your birthday !!!!

Anyone please correct me if I were wrong. I am assuming the next draw would be Nov. 22?

You wouldn't be anywhere close to wrong in predicting draw dates.
This is "Ray of Hope" thread

This what I referred to earlier "Glass is half full". Don't lose hope, be strong be optimistic and be positive.

When you get something very easily you never value it. When you cannot value it, it is unlikely to reap the benefits of it as well.

Immigration is a tough preposition for all skilled workers, you wont find a job, lesser money, a very few connections and an entirely new place. So if you get it very easily its highly likely you to get frustrated with all the challenges you face. I am sure most of the people overcome those challenges but still in doing so they might lose the charm of it. So for all of us who were "not successful this time" its a mental preparation for the challenges ahead.

I hope I have not offended any one.

Your point of view is very true. The real battle starts from the day when an immigrant put his first step in to canada. That's the battle worth winning for and worth waiting for.

Hi All,

I have a query regarding the appropriate NOC. I was able to determine that my recent job duties (last 5 yrs) have a close match with the ones specified under 1122- Professional occupations in business management consulting. However I was also able to make out that there is another NOC- 2171 Information systems analysts and consultants which further has job duties categorized under 4 heads. Below are my concerns-

1. NOC 1122 is a regulated occupation in Ontario and other provinces. Do I need to have a license before ITA or would that affect the processing post e-APR?

2. Sub categories mentioned under NOC 2171 are Information systems business analysts and consultants, Systems security analysts, Information systems quality assurance analysts & Systems auditors. Does that mean my job profile should cover all the duties under these heads or synchronization with only one sub category i.e. Information systems business analysts and consultants would suffice?

Kindly share your expert views. I have been stuck up due to this.

And all that time i thought you were a doctor.

I read through most of this thread and wanted to cheer you guys on.

For everyone here with a score over 400 - be patient and you will get an ITA. The changes CIC made have definitely lowered average scores, and it's only a matter of time before they drop to the low 400s or even lower.

If there's anything you can do to max out your IELTS scores, do it! This is the single biggest factor that you can control - you can't do much about age, or getting a Masters degree. IELTS scores can be improved with just a couple weeks practice, and if you're already in the high 300s, or low 400s, it won't be too hard for you to get a better score. Or perhaps your spouse can improve his/her score if they didn't max it out. The IELTS adds tons of points if you max it, so get to it.

While you're waiting, gather all the documents and have them ready. Write down your address history and your personal history, make sure you have any PCCs(this one depends a little bit on your score - you don't want them to expire before your ITA. It's a judgement call). This makes submitting the application really easy. I was able to submit my application a month after my ITA, and that was pretty late too - there are people who have submitted a complete application the very next day because they had everything ready to go.

And finally, don't give up hope. The Canadian PR process is fantastic because they make it crystal clear - there's absolutely no ambiguity in their requirements. If you meet the requirements, you will become a Permanent Resident. When you compare this to many other countries, where you never know what the heck is going on (don't get me started on the US Green Card process - I have an approved green card, but to actually get status, it would take decades.. it's a joke. Which is why I'm chilling in Canada now)

Immigrating is not an easy task, but we all have already shown the persistence and can-do spirit we need to succeed. Keep your collective chin up, and you'll all get ITAs - perhaps a New Year's gift, why not (thus spake Zoidberg)

Good luck all

Thank you @21Goose ! I have a question. My wife was in Australia from 2013 to 2015. She stayed in Melbourne and Brisbane equally. Now I have got Traffic history report from Brisbane, license history report from Melbourne and a federal police certificate issued in 2017. I believe there is no expiry date for this as it was obtained after she left Australia. Please advise

New here. Patiently waiting at 434. IELTS expiring Jan 9th. Trying to get spouse ECA done to improve our score. This draw was heart breaking

Yeah, if she left the country and then got the PCC then there's no expiry date. I was referring to PCCs from your current country of residence, should have been clearer.

Please go ahead and do what it takes to improve CRS. You will get ITA soon

Hi all, PCC from UK still valid after 6 months of issuance? Wanted to gather documents ahead but with the current trend, I doubt I'll be submitting an eAPR soon.
