The last draw was really an anomaly and it negated most of the theories and predictions here. No one can guess whats going to happen from here on especially for those seeking asurances of getting ITA with their CRS. My advice just pray, hope and be very patient
Do you have any proof that last draw was just an anamoly? As per my calculations last 6 days(april 20 -25) there were around 1000 new entrants..in last 5 days (may5-9) there were around 1150..not much diff..only around 200

I have WES which has been evaluated as Bachelors Degree 4 years.
I did 1 year diploma before proceeding to first degree. The first degree was actually started from Year 2, however WES evaluated it as 4 years Bachelors probably due the number of years in school was 4 (Adminstrative and school calender) or due to the courses covered during the programme.

Now can I apply to evaluate this 1 year diploma with WES or is not necessary since I continued with BSc? if I can apply for evaluation of the diploma
after the evaulation the in Level of Education in EE CRS calculator or pool does it qualify me to choose the category of Two or more Certificates,diplomas or degrees,One must be a programme of 3 years or More??
If you get your Diploma evaluated by WES and they finalize as a Diploma (one year) or something similar, you can claim Two or More option.

Thank you for your response.
Yes I have a 1 year diploma not yet evaluated.
Is it possible to use different Evaluating organizations for different certificates.As I used WES before.
In practise which is faster WES or IQAS?
You will not get points for that one-year diploma as it was obtained prior to completion of your bachelor degree. To get points for it, it would have to be obtained after your three of four-year post-secondary degree.

I received an ITA on May 9th. My score was due to increase from 434 to 459 in July, not before.
This July will make 2 years since I’ve been working.

So now my profile says 459 points and I’m not sure if I should accept or decline the invitation. I’m unsure of how to proceed. I need some advice.

Thanks
No need to decline the ITA if you get it early. Just wait until you actually met the 3 years work experience date and submit the e-APR after that date.

This situation is also going to happen to me in next month. Because I am gaining 4 years work experience in JULY 16, but my score will increase to 436 in JUNE 1.

If I receive ITA in JUNE, I will not submit e-APR before JULY 16, but I will submit the e-APR after JULY 16.:)

This is from CIC:

At the time of the e-APR, processing officers should compare both CRS scores to determine which of the following scenarios should be applied:

  • If the applicant’s CRS score at the time of the e-APR is equal to or higher than the lowest-ranked score in the round of invitations, the application will not be refused under section A11.2, as long as the applicant’s supporting documentation corroborates their claims and they continue to meet the MEC for Express Entry, including the requirements of the program to which they were invited to apply.
  • If the applicant’s CRS score at the time of the e-APR is lower than the lowest-ranked score in the round of invitations, the application should be refused under section A11.2 for not having maintained the qualifications that would justify the ITA.

Should one decide to do an online programme,how can one know if Univeristy online programme is accredited and can be evaulated by WES.

I know on the WES portal when you choose the country, it gives you a list of institutions, does it mean that if your institution appears there, it is accredited both for Classroom and online study?

What if you claim points for sibling in Canada, while he has not landed yet. However, the sibling arrives later but before submission of eAPR by applicant. Would the case get rejected as applicant claimed points while his sibling had not touched down in Canada. Whereas, at the time of eAPR, all resp

Incorrect.. you can get points for a diploma even if it was obtained prior to completion of a bachelor's degree...

You also need to keep in mind the MEC in this case. If you do not meet the MEC at the time of ITA, due to this addition of 1 year in work ex, you may face a rejection later on.

That's the official link. So do you read anywhere that the diploma has to be after the bachelor's degree? It just says that one of the program should be of three or more years...
