Ray of Hope - 104th draw

[monkeyspanner]

Yay!



How long do I have to accept the ITA?

60 days to complete your PR application

I understand your point regarding TRF but you know these days people are getting smart. We can generate the TRF number accurately before it arrives. It has a fixed format. I have seen many people ( 2 of my friends in this draw also) doing this. I know this is not a good practice and no one should do it but me or you or anyone like us can't stop the desperation of someone. Those guys know that it is risk but still they don't stop.

I wouldnt classify it as a bad practice considering they did earn it. Anyway, fact is that technically they can put anything they want in the EE appln TRF number. It is only in the eAPR they need to put the correct one. In this cut throat competition, they might as well cut some throats. (gulp! I just said that.)

No, you don't have to do biometrics from this draw.

Payment for biometrics will be done when submitting your application just before getting AOR and the biometrics request letter is after getting medical passed.

At least this is what's obtainable in Nigeria now. It's was also effective for ITAs received after June

Does anyone know if we will have to do biometrics from the US for this draw? I'm aware that biometrics starts December 31, 2018 for the Americas.

Since the documents are due just before December 31, 2018, does that mean I don't have to do biometrics? Or will I have to do it since PPR won't be issued before December 31, 2018?

Clever! I feel its easier to do that with WES ECA coz the format is very predictable. And I wasn't among those cut throat group , although now i wish i was a bit more smart. I received my ECA PDF couple of hours before the last draw, as i have already posted here i didn't anticipate another Monday draw so I completed my EE profile a few hours later than the actual draw time. Now after reading through the smart tricks on these forums, I very well could have posted my EE profile a day in advance before the ECA is completed. Anyways, its done and dusted now - waiting for the next draw!

Hi,

I would say you did the right thing. Never ever try to play with these things. You never know when IRCC, WES, British Council and other organizations outplay us by just changing those formats without prior notice. Those belonging such cut .... groups can win sometimes but this habit of theirs will fool themselves only at some point.

you people are right. I found below post in some thread. As per that my TRF number matching exactly.
This will definitely help people, considering draws nowadays on Monday. Usually, we will receive TRF hardcopy only on Tuesdays.
Try yours

"The TRF number is easy to guess, it is formed of the following criteria:

The last two digits of the year + the short name of the country where you gave the test + Candidate number + Your last name's first three letters + your first name's first letter + the code of the test center + the module

For (James Antony) who has given the general module test in India in 2015, and who has the candidate number (003819) in the test centre number IN019,
his reference number is:

15IN003819ANTJ019G

That's really funny. I took mine in the US and mine matches this format too. 18US... This could really help some people get ahead if they have their electronic confirmation already before the hard copy. Maybe this should be a sticky post?

That is also contingent on the fact that Liberals don't lose the federal election next year.

99:99% they will loos. They didn’t even get 20% votes in Ontario so they will be gone soon. #AlwayswithConservatives

Hi could you please explain this data...as per my understanding there are total 2944 (434+1773+736) candidates above 441 this indicates if draw call for 3900 candidates all above 441 will get ITA.. This data reflects the candidates till draw date ( including pending for previous results)..is am right..??

It’s very true. This is very important for candidates who wait for their IELTS result. I already missed the golden chance due to the TRF number.

No - the breakdown of candidates in the pool was a snapshot as at 25th Oct. and the draw was 29th Oct. so there were additional candidates added to the pool in the 4 days between (somewhere in excess of 1000). If you look at previous draws the breakdown is normally around 6 days prior to the actual draw.

Can any one please tell me scope for NOC 0113 in Canada ..

Okk I got you...
Let be straight if my score is 442 and I get into the pool..how's many draws it take for my consideration for ITA(if cut off score in each draw remains 442)
Thanks for your reply..I just want to understand the data provided by Ray of hope

Does anyone know if we will have to do biometrics from the US for this draw? I'm aware that biometrics starts December 31, 2018 for the Americas.

Since the documents are due just before December 31, 2018, does that mean I don't have to do biometrics? Or will I have to do it since PPR won't be issued before December 31, 2018?

When it comes to do or not to do biometrics, that does not depend on the draw date but on the date when you get your PPR request. So answer is most likely yes, because give the short time until end of this year, people that are invited now, will get their PPR only next year.

I'm afraid @vensak is mistaken.
No biometrics for you @USProgrammer if you apply before Decembrer 31st. If you apply on or after December 31st, you will give biometrics.
It's not based on PPR, as not even CIC knows when you'll get PPR. Cannot be based on that. It's based on AOR date.
It was indeed a confusion at the beginning with applications being on the fence when biometrics started on July 31st for some countries, but no June or July applicants from those countries have received Biometrics request. But those who applied on the 31st of July did receive one.
