Ray of Hope - 91st Draw

[NOMAD2017]

Experts!! Do you think most of the 440s would be cleared in the next draw? I entered on may 10th..hoping that atleast all the guys till april get cleared!! I have time till july end!

You will get the ITA in June 2018. mark my words

You can get points for a spouse who is Canadian and her education blah blah...

Unfortunately you can't :/ I'm Canadian and my boyfriend isn't. He's going the express entry route, and he doesn't get any points for me as I can't tehcnically accompany him to Canada because I'm Canadian. Otherwise I'd be able to increase his points, but I can't.

Heeeheheh please dont do that...Good news are on your way... just share the learning so that we will not repeat it. I have started my process with lot of Goof ups...... so curious.

ohhh..so u need to know apologies to all my old fellows many of them got ITA and I hope they don't have to go through this torture once again
I did not manage my funds properly. I invested mine and received remittance from a family member soon after that. So I thought I was good as long as I have money in my account. But I didn't know that proof of funds must be provided or else, the application could be rejected. I couldn't arrange the proof of funds for family remittance in time.
Second mistake that I later realized, was that my PCC did not cover the last few days that I spent in my home country. Although I moved out of my country 2 years ago, and visited my family just for a few weeks last year. But according to expert opinion on this forum, even a short visit, to a former country of residence, counts. So that's my story. Hope it helps you.

U mean if I recieve ITA in June and will travel to home country for 3 weeks in Aug so I need PCC till Aug. Even if I am outside my home country since last 2 years. THIS is a actual case which I will go through.....
And Proof of funds needs to be only on primary applicant name ..... spouse account cant be shown ?

Hi

Wanted to check while putting the work experience letter after receiving ITA does one need to also send the work contract or just a detailed experience letter will do?

I am shocked that many people entered the pool even without the IELTS. I am worried too that it will stay at 440 or go to 441.

A query- how ppl can enter without IELTS. Isn't IELTS mandatory?

I think he might have meant that there wasn't an IELTS score coming out between the two draws. That's what's meant by "no IELTS". Maybe the people entering had taken an IELTS previously and were waiting for the ECA to enter the pool. You're completely right, you cannot enter the pool without an IELTS score.

Fellas, I dont think cutoff would reach 435 this year. More ppl are joining every single day.
CIC has to raise draw size to clear then only it may reach 435.
Hope I will be wrong, standing at 435 till July

Accompanying spouse's account can be shown, but i guess, proof of funds will be needed for that too. Or a gift deed, or an affidavit stating that you have the permission to use those funds. And about PCC, yes, I think you will have to obtain it after the trip is over. I got it made during the last week of my visit, but 5-6 days before my departure date. You can google, there is this guy from Pakistan whose PR application was rejected because his PCC didn't cover his last (2-week) visit to Pakistan.

Special!! I guess ielts and ECA getting cancelled out each other..some waiting for ECA and some for IELTS..In my case my ielts was done first and waited for ECA..ECA takes time..hence dont worry ielts results have no significant effecr!!Its a combination of having IELTs and ECA that matters!! I hope the new entrants per day wont be more than 200 for the coming draw!

No offence, I might be wrong but i dont agree with this. I checked by creating 2 profiles with gap of 24 hrs, EE profile number showed diff of 3K.
I know this diff would be spread across various CRS sections but 200 is way too less.

Attach as many documents as you can, to be on the safe side. Contracts, pay stubs, promotion letters, and what not. It won't hurt adding the detail. No one ever got a rejection letter for attaching additional documents .

The difference in the EE profile numbers is not equal to number of applicants entering the pool. That's just a serial number. The calculation shows that the number of applicants entering the draw ranges from 100-250 this year.

Why don't you submit your application before visiting the home country ? In that case, you won't have to submit a new PCC. The older one, covering your last trip could be used in that case.

Glad to know that.
Any prediction about OINP next draw for HCP. It's been 2 months, no draw. Im at 435 with NOC 2174 (Computer Programmer)

Sorry @NOMAD2017 as per this post no chance to increase your CRS
