Does this indicates a draw this week? *Being optimistic

Nope...

Happy to be proved wrong but I think we're in for a 2 week wait.
Only twice since 2016 has there been a back to back draw after a 21 day wait.

What's NOT looking good is that since 6th December, we have had 3 draws with a wait time of 21 days. Never happened before.

I'll stick my neck out and say that IRCC may have set themselves a target, but could also undershoot it.

That should be a good news too. Almost every month (except 12th July,17) we have a draw on first week of the month since beginning of the last year. So if we have a draw on 28th March then there is Very High probability that there will be a back to back draw on 4th April,18. If that happens then we are set to see the lowest cut off of the year!

I'm not a CRS statistician like some of the posters here. But I've read that CIC are aiming to give out similar amount of ITA's as per previous years. So the fact that we've had few draws and ITA's issued this year, would increase the likely hood of more frequent draws and/or draws with higher amounts of ITA's given for the the rest of the year. Hence, CRS's should drop when this occurs....?

This is assuming that CIC want to reach this target. Pessimistic assumption: they are happy to fill 70-80 percent of their target. Then you can see that they're exactly on the money.

A quick one please

I saw that have been assigned a UCI even without ita.my current score is 435 and my spouse Is writing ielts this weekend

I understand UCI is always given after ITA any one with an idea

Not correct. We did not have any draw on Jan 2018 first week.

This is exactly how CIC is luring all of us to think that there will be a draw and finally giving us dreadful Wednesdays!

All what I am looking for is a 2 week interval draw consistently. Nothing more nothing less. This 3 week draw is killing many hopes

technically, you are supposed to get an UCI once you apply. I have one too despite not having submitted my documents yet.

Unless we have a draw this week, I don't see any ray of hope for the mid 430's and bellows for the next few months at least.....

finally spouse's IELTS result is out.
CRS jumped to 455 from 439, hopefully will get ITA in next draw... keeping fingers crossed

good luck to every one... cheers!

 

[ankurrana]

If we apply for re-evaluation for IELTS , can we still update scores in profile with current TRF coloured photocopy ?as we have to send original TRF for re-evaluation, IF answer is yes, and if we get ITA before re-evaluation results, can we still use coloured photocopy while submitting documents ? Please advise experts

What have you decided? Are you updating profile with existing ielts score or waiting for remarking result. Just spoke to idp and they are saying TRF number remains same even if we get scores improved...
