Ray of Hope - 104th draw

[Sg90]

How

Just spoke to IRCC and was told that my profile says 'invitation pending' so I should just keep waiting patiently and it'll come. So maybe call them as well, waited 45 minutes on hold though 18882422100. Good luck

How did you manage to call this number since it only work for people calling within Canada?

I am in Canada. I'm sorry, I didn't realize the number was restricted to Canada only.

No probs, any other way to check with IRCC?

Also completed the 'report a technical issue form,' no feedback yet but you can do that. I accessed it from my express entry profile page beside the button to modify family information. Good luck!

Ok, so our calculations for this round (441) wasn't too bad. The algorithm says that for the next one it is going to be 441 or 442 depending on the date Let's wait and see!

Could someone please explain how the CRS was 442? They drew 3,900 and the score distribution shows the following.

3,900
- 435 (Scores 601-1200)
- 1,773 (Scores 451-600)
= 1,692

Only 736 people had scores 441-450.

1,692 - 736 = 956

9,177 people had scores 431-440. The remainder 956 should have come from this group right? Which means at a maximum the CRS should have been 440. I'm not complaining, since I was drawn, but I don't understand how it was at 442.

The only explanation I have is that the distribution is from Oct 25 and the draw was Oct 29 and 956+ people got scores higher than 440 in that time frame that didn't have them before (possibly PNPs caused this CRS draw to be > 440)?

Is this hope for those with CRS <= 440?

The answer lies in your post itself. The data you are referring to is dated October 25, 2018 and the draw happened October 29, 2018 and there was IELTS result on October 26, 2018 for exam dated October 13, 2018.

Interesting. I hadn't thought about the impact of IELTS results since you must have an IELTS result to register an EE profile and I didn't need to re-take it. I was thinking only about the impact of PNP as a method to massively raise scores.

I personally think you're in good shape. The score distributions are very favorable for you if the distribution remains even partially similar. Probably only PNPs would mess you up, but maybe we're done with those for a little while?

I think all 736 from 441-450 can’t be included because the last draw was for 442.. so the remainder could have been be more than 956. And does that mean there were more than 1000 profiles with 442+ got added from oct 26th to oct 29th ? Am I missing something here ?
