Ray of Hope - 116th Draw

[13nitinsharma]

I would like to take a moment to appreciate @13nitinsharma who stood with me all throughout last 2 months. I wish he gets through at the earliest.

Sorry for the delay in response! I was busy dancing with @JuniorStakes

With my birthday approaching on 4th May, I consider myself very fortunate to get through at 451.

All the best everyone on this thread !!

Thanks mate and I hope, you'll be a part of ROH threads even if you've got your Golden ITA.

By the way, how was the dinner date last night, finally!!!!

 

[13nitinsharma]

This group has been very supportive in my journey to ITA. I shall stay here for my journey to PR and keep everyone posted as and when updates come. Thanks Everyone!!!

Good luck for your further process!!

are there any chances for 448 before June?

Yes, you must go for another evaluation with ICAS. I have heard that their evaluation is quite accurate as compared to WES. Where WES evaluates a one-year program as half-yearly and a two-year program equivalents to a one-year. On the other hand, ICAS would give these the equivalency as of one-year and two-years respectively!
That is the plus point you will have. The only negative thing is the timeframe. The deadline for the ECA evaluated by ICAS is 6 months, however, you will be given a positive response at the end. Besides, ICAS has placed on the 1st place amomg the EcA firms, where WES has moved to the 3rd place.

Hi all please advise. My mba is 3 year mba from kurukashetra university in corospondence. Wes given me pg diploma. So am in two or more. My crs is 444.should i try icas . If yes will they accept provisional certificate of they need degree. Need your valuable inputs.

 

[13nitinsharma]

Without even a second thought, you should IMMEDIATELY apply for Masters evaluation from ICAS/IQAS.

Looking at your scenario, your Masters degree will act like a parachute during emergency landing any time. You can see how tough the competition is these days. Everyone should put their best efforts to increase their scores or else they might only end up with long wait for ITAs.

I wish you get your ITA before your birthday (like @SeniorStakes ) but on the other hand, you should apply for Masters evaluation from ICAS/IQAS ASAP. You won't regret later that you didn't try or optimum utilized the time. I know these two agencies take time but it's worth getting your degree evaluated from them (I got Masters evaluation too from IQAS). Please check both the agencies and read about how much is the processing time these days. Choose wisely, Good luck!!

@cdddelhi See my previous response, same applies in your case too. Hope this helps!!

Demo/Redundant Accounts.
I am 8 months into the PR process (ielts, wes and what not) and had made around 4 demo profiles on ircc to go through the process (ofcource with fake details as shown in many youtube videos) and 2 out of 4 profiles had also recieved ITA's aswell as I had entered maximum score fetching values.
I'm sure many of us have done the same. Most famous "Profile creation for express entry step by step" video has over 1.5 lakh views and if mere 10% of the viewers have tried their hands, it equals15000 redundant profiles.
Surely this may be one of the reason for the crazy 450+ entries into the pool this year. I have already deleted/withdrawn those profiles and hope everyone to do the same. And please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't understand why someone would do like that??? Is this some game to get an ITA, just to show off or experiment or some other wicked reason. Just wasting the patience of genuine folks waiting in the pool. You have admitted this fact, and i really appreciate it. What i don't is the fact that: Why would you freaking do that?????
Were you trying to test the loopholes of IRCC EE System? I mean does this make any sense to anybody in this forum???
I don't usually respond like this, but 2 freakkkking ITAs down the sink. I mean that's insane.Do you really understand the patience of the folks here???
Its like those crazy people experimenting wierd things with iPhone- like adding it to boiling mercury, or just destroying it simply.
You deleted those profiles... but why did you create it in the first place ???

If you see above data; 451-600 range applicants is dropping; not at the rate me and other 440s folks want, but still slowly. So there is hope after all for me and lower 440s folks.
And again, as i stated earlier, 750-800 folks get added in the 441-450 bracket. Only time will tell how our patience is rewarded.
All the best guys !!!!

I was expecting this kind of reply only and I am totally fine with it, as long as the message is convoyed and understood in a positive manner by everyone involved therefore resulting in removal of every demo/redundant profile that is still active.
I am sailing in the same boat as you and have realised that this thing is a very dangerous practice. So i hope this issue is further raised across all platforms as we don't know consciously or unconsciously how many of us are doing this.

[Flowerview]

Hi everyone, my score is 443. Tomorrow is my husband's IELTS results, eagerly waiting to see if the score will increase.

 

[NikSharma01]

Hi all please advise. My mba is 3 year mba from kurukashetra university in corospondence. Wes given me pg diploma. So am in two or more. My crs is 444.should i try icas . If yes will they accept provisional certificate of they need degree. Need your valuable inputs.

If WES has not given you satisfactory evaluation, then you should definitely look for other ECA firms for the evaluation. ICAS And IQAS, both are better alternatives out there, other than the WES.
