anyone can actually say if it is gonno make it to 430?

It will, eventually. And if they pick in lots of 3k, then hopefully soon.

Nah, I'll be stuck at 416 until June, so I still gotta be patient as the cut off will take a while to get that low (assuming it ever does). Good luck to you though!

It’s reached 413 on May 31 last year, anything is possible. All in good time and your patience will not go in vain. Keep up the cheer.

Guys,

I've been a silent reader of this forum (specially RoH) for over a year. I took the IELTS 5 times in one year, I spent almost 200 hours studying English to reach a CLB 9 and today I receive my ITA (my score were 407 and I got 464 with CLB 9).

I'm writing to thank you for all the information, all the speculation and all the hope you have been giving me during this year. Only we know how difficult and heart-breaking this proccess is and to have a place to read kind words of people in the same page as me was fundamental to persist.

Do not give up, keep studying and if you don't reach CLB 9 for 0,5 band ask for a remark, it really works.

I hope that this year will bring good news to all of us.

Congratulations and very well done.

The thought that should worry us is an analysis posted in ROH 83. There are 186 candidates entering the pool per day in scores between 441 to 450. This is a drastic increase in the number we're used to seeing in this region, which is about 160-170.
Secondly, looking at the Feb 1st distribution, it appears that a lot of guys just jumped on the draw at the last minute probably those who gave their IELTS on 6th and 19th Jan getting their results finally. Otherwise we would have seen the CRS drop even lower than 442 for 3000 ITAs.

True, the number entering in that range definitely has increased. And ielts results has played a role earlier too, at the time draw has taken place.

Sorry Here's an updated version..... this time I did include the table header.....and simplified the colors.....Lemme know if this helps.....I am open to any suggestion....

You have put so much of efforts calculating this, thankyou, please be a bit more large hearted and consider scores till 400. There are so many in 400-420 range as well. Even lower, quietly waiting for their day of hope.

Vis a Vis the numbers aren't too great (186 Vs 160ish) however if this becomes a trend then we might never see the CRS dip as low as in 2017. This extent of marginal increase is enough raise CRS by 1-2 points by itself.

Hope hope hope and pray for it to come your way and our way. Eventually it will. The margins are pretty dynamic.

Congrats! I was wondering if these 200 hours of studying were in a school? Or did you study alone?

yes, you need to include salary details. In case your employer refuses to include information on it (like one of mine did), attach other proof like payslips and appointment letter when submitting documents post ITA. You can also prepare a LoE to explain this.

Letter can be as old as you want it to be considering it's your ex-employer and information won't change ever.
