I signed up with an immigration agent in May last year (2017), and it nearly took 1 whole year to create my express entry profile only due to the delay caused by repetition of IELTS exam
I have, so far, attempted 5 times out of which the last (5th attempt) is awaiting results,
1st - L-R-W-S - 6.5/6.5/6.0/6.5
2nd - L-R-W-S - 7.5/6.0/6.0/8.0
3rd - L-R-W-S - 8.0/7.0/6.0/7.0
4th - L-R-W-S - 7.0/7.5/6.0/7.5
5th - L-R-W-S - Awaiting results.....
I am not sure how many more attempts to go for
EES Created April 2018 (using 3rd attempt)
CRS 398
CRS (if W=7) : 463
EOR will take 11-15 weeks in Qatar and I am afraid they aren't as much lenient as we can expect.
I have not run out of motivation yet !
