Ray of Hope - 113th Draw

[pessacanada]

Hope is in abundance here !!! Even i hope the draw to be on this wednesday. Also looking forward to IRCC issuing more ITAs (~3900) in every draw.

Sooner or later it will happen, draw with 3900 ITAs, probably there can be 4000 or 4100 ITAs, new record hopefully.

No dear. I don't think, the study done in Canada needs to be assessed. However, your previous study will have to be evaluated. Because the main purpose of the Canadian Evaluation Firms is, to check and verify whether the foreign study programs/courses(1-3yrs), are equivalent to the Canadian ones or not!

Post that, you are not supposed to select the "One or more certificates" option. As, you would be excluded from that category because of having only one foreign course/program.

Thank you so much for taking time to reply! But would you mind elaborating more on that I won't be eligible for "One or more certificates category"?

For your record, I'll have a foreign bachelor's degree and one year post-graduate certificate attained in Canada by the time I update my EE profile.

You only need 3 years Foreign Work Experience. So Job 1 alone will fetch you enough points. Since you already have received reference letters from Job 1 and Job 2, no need to fetch one for Job 3.

Just mention Job 3 under Persona History section

Good luck!!

Sooner or later it will happen, draw with 3900 ITAs, probably there can be 4000 or 4100 ITAs, new record hopefully.

Just a hunch.. OINP HCP will issue invites this week or the next.. Federal will conduct back to back draws to scoop.. those selected by OINP.. January will repeat itself

Furthermore, OINP will start picking profiles where it left off in Jan - 439

Hope at Max level!

But as i understand from this forum, the ones issued OINP NOI, and after accepting it, it takes 1-3 months to approve the nomination and then thee applicant gets the additional 600 points.

Yes, but Federal will conduct back to back draws to scoop those selected by OINP.. January will repeat itself

BTW this is what I want to happen.. I don't know if it'd happen

Sure! If you would have persued the Bachelors, Masters, Doctoral Level, One or more diploma courses in your country (non-canadian ones), you are supposed to select the options accordingly.

Either
1) Single study program - (Bachelors/Diploma/Masters/Doctoral) whichever belongs to you!

Or
2) Multi study programs -
("Two or More Certificates/Diplomas")

However, if you are only one Non-Canadian Degree Holder and will persue another in Canada rather than doing it in your home country, you will no longer be able to choose the above Option No. 2 (Two or more...) , because you are left with only One Foreign Study Program. At that time you are required to select the options as:

1) "Bachelors/Masters/Doctoral - whatever you have done, previously"
and
2) "Your Canadian Study Course" as it will be asked to you, separately, for claiming the extra CRS points. That's all.

I sent WES a DM on twitter and this is what I got::
“”Hi, document review is a crucial part of the evaluation process. Our evaluators need to go through this step before issuing an estimated date of completion.””

Such a typical reply

You have very good chance

I have a CRS score 467, got ITA in the last round but later found out that I put in the wrong NOC codes. My master's degree was 1.5 years but I have put in 2 years in the CIC profile. I have a full-time work exp of 6.5 years(all outside Canada) - Job 1 - 2.5 years(I think correct code is 2174, I used 2173), Job 2 - 11 months(I think correct code is 2172, I used 2171) and current job since Nov 2015. I don't have the experience letters for the 1st 2 jobs, will it make any difference if I just put in my current job in the work history and move the rest into personal? My current work is my own company where I'm listed as a director(not sure what NOC code to use here, I used 0213 - it seemed closest in resemblance to what I do). I'm thinking of declining the current ITA and changing the NOC codes and the master's degree duration in the profile. Please advise. Apologies if my questions sound stupid but I'm new to this, any help is appreciated.

We both are at the same score, lets see when is our turn?

Well, in my opinion,
Firstly , I would rather say NOT to DECLINE
Few points:
1. After you receive ITA and change the NOC code, it amounts to incorrect information . { Even after you DECLINE ITA, it would be recorded because of your UCI }
2. Similarity between 2174 or 2173 : I think that most of them duties are similar ,therefore I donot think it should be a problem.\
3. Related to 1.5 years ,,I think if you have ECA for Master as 2 years it shouldn't be a problem.
4. Try to find other ways to resolve it which is the best possible soultion rather than declining it.

DECLINING should only be done if donot have any alternative solution.

That sounds frustrating I think technically both cases should fall into the same category.
Regardless, I really appreciate your dedicated explanation. Cheers

@SabrinaKim This is not true. The EE profile automatically assigns points according to what is inputted into the EE system. Therefore, if you put a foreign bachelors then you put a Canadian post graduate diploma/degree it adds up the points automatically. There is no option for 2 or more certificates, diplomas or degrees to select as it is automatic. If you completed the post graduate degree in Canada, you get additional 15 points in addition to 128 points for 2 or more. If distance education, you just get points for 2 or more certificates, diplomas or degrees.

You wont need to have your Canadian education assessed but you would need to provide copies of your transcripts and diplomas/degrees for upload once you receive ITA.

what are my chances for 450 in ROH 113 ?

Probably not in ROH 113. Very good chance in # 114, but can say with more certainty post # 113.

Hope your birthday is not looming the way it is for me.
