Ray of Hope - 82nd Draw

Its a statement from 26 June 2017

Well, I received an NOI by re-creating my profile but that was long time ago. A lot has been changed in OINP since then like the Ontario Immigration Act (honestly, I don‘t know what is it all about ) and the validity of the NOI from 6 months to 45 days. And with the tie-breaking rule in EE, re-creating a profile to receive NOI may not apply anymore.

I think the million dollar question here is
"Has anybody received an NOI yet for 2018?"

I suggest you wait for a direct ITA. Your CRS is not too low. Give your slot to those with CRS below 415.

But it’s still your call, don’t mind my thoughts

Hello All,

My CRS is 415 and Suppose if I get an NOI from Ontario now and when Alberta opens up the new stream later, will I be eligible to apply for Alberta too? My preference is Alberta over Ontario. So in case if I receive an NOI from Ontario, please provide your suggestion on how I can handle it?

Thanks

Everything is depending on the next 2 draws, CIC has been super slow since the last 1 month so the only ray of hope would be a back to back draw within January. Also, 2750 is going to be a reason many will might get demotivated but we can never give up our hope. Things should get better soon enough & a decreasing cutoff is just a matter of time.

I agree, they are slow SGVO is s(h)itting on our application, but i already emailed them, I am giving them another 30 days to approve my application

CIC will soon realize that they are not fulfilling the quota if they only issue 2750 ITAs in bi-weekly draws. Either there will be back-to-back draws or increase the ITA.

Hello all,

A friend is a physiotherapist and we are wondering which ECA institution to use for his evaluation. I believe his BSc + 1 year clinical shd be evaluated as a professional qualification. Is IQAS the best for this type of evaluation?

Another concern with IQAS is the timeline for processing - 12weeks averagely

Plan A - Direct ITA
Plan B - OINP and then ITA
Planc C - Wait till October 2018 when I will automatically be bumped to 435 due to work ex and then hope against hope that I get Direct ITA.
Plan D - Waste life in native country

How funny you are.
Am sure you will not get to plan D

They should also drop the points alitule. Hopefully fingers crossed

If more ITAs are issued, cut-off will surely go down, same happens if there is a back-to-back draw. Look at the trend from April-May 2017 draws

hello @iamxty

if you have to select any date for the cutoff to reach 435 then what will be the number? It has been quite a let down in terms of getting new hope considering a new year for which many have been waiting for a long time but do you think that cic can keep restricting itas like this? this is really pathetic for people waiting above 400 for such a long time

Yes that's right .Hoping there will be draw every alternate Wednesday starting from 24th January then 7th Feb and 21st Feb.In that case there might be a good chance who are in queue for a longer time , as next IELTS exam is on 10th Feb and their results should be out on 23rd Feb so they might not enter the pool in these draws.
