Hi,

Thank you my friend. I will always be here helping people. My PPR doesn't change anything.

Regards

 

[TanakaM]

Congratulations! How long did the entire process take from the time you received the ITA?

Tjank you. I got an ITA on the 8th of February 2017 and PPR on the 22 of January 2018. So we can safely say 1 year as I expect visas around the 8th of Feb.

Long journey, but it is proof that delay is never denial.

Hi Tanaka, I am curious to know why it took so long for you to get from AOR to PPR. Document(s) or PCC issues?

 

[vin1906]

I believe one mistake that many people make with regard to 2018 quota is the fact that the announced 2018 quota is for all people who receive PR in 2018. Many of which have applied for PR in 2017 and they will land in 2018. So it's pointless to argue that since the 2018 quota is higher, CIC has to issue more ITAs. No one really knows how many people will be granted PR status in 2018.

In that case shudn they invite ppl foreseeing 2019 since they have announced higher targets each year till 2020. ??

Hi,

None of the above.

I was diagnosed with Pleural TB during my medicals so I had to take a 6 month treatment course and then do further medical tests.

Hi Guys,

I am currently on 443 (Yea, , missed the last ITA by 1 point). Got into the pool Nov. 20th 2017.

Trying to decide if I should re-create my profile so I can get NOI?

My wife took the IELTS exam on the 20th of Jan, the result should be out by feb (2nd hopefully), so we can the points up.

I'm just scared so the cut-off doesn't get too high, have loads of ppl in the draw.

Dude just chill !!!

There are people sitting on 410s and 420s so it is safe to say that you are lot ahead and it should be the matter of 2-3 draws for you to get ITA.

Bottom line is don't panic and always see people lower than you so that you feel good about yourself !!

 

[Jakilee]

I created my profile while my CRS score was 382 in September. Then I sat for IELTS for the second time on November 11th and managed to score CLB9. I got my results on November 23rd and since then the cut-off point has been above 442.

You will receive ITA on February 7th.

 

[TanakaM]

Oh, sorry to hear that! Hope you are feeling better now and good to know you finally got to PPR. All the best!

I am perfect. Was fully healed.

Someone please correct me if mistaken:

Number of invitations issued / CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited
2,902 Jan 4 2017 / 468
3,334 Jan 11 2017 / 459
3,508 Jan 25 2017 / 453

They invited more number of candidates with three draws in the same month, yet the scores remained high. Doesnt this show that their were more candidates in the pool then as compared to the same period of this year?

That's true! But if you see the numbers from previous years the ITAs given were considerably lower which affected the pool. Also if you see the CRS kept drastically decreasing emptying the pool.
And then came the most luckiest draw ever with a CRS of 413 and that was the game changer.
With such a score more candidates starting entering the pool which again affected the pool.

Hope this helps.
