Ray of Hope - 120th Draw

[AB17]

You can take 2 IELTS tests in 2 days, no restriction. No one really knows what happens behind the BC/IDP doors. So key is to prepare well and attend with confidence.

Thanks I am thinking giving it again probably July 6th.

 

[Jabya]

Very high chances of draw happening on Wednesday as maintenance notice is up. I will look at this very optimistically. Cheers.

My predictions

Draw 120: 460-461
Draw 121: 457-458
Draw 122: 454-456
Draw 123: 452-454
Draw 124: 451-453
Draw 125: 450-452

Assumptions: Draw 120 happens on 19-June and each draw after that happens every 14 days time. Draw size remains at 3350. But I hope draw size would increase and score will touch 445-448 by Draw 126.

I mean to reach 445-448 by draw 126, draw size should increase by this upcoming draw onwards

With an increased draw size, CRS will be lower than forecasted by u. Cheers

[prsingh]

Hey dear,
It was not upto the mark. Thanks for asking.
I've got outstanding scores by maxing out in L & R, but got less scores in S & W. So, I'm having a neutral feeling. Even though I was not satisfied with my own performance in these two.

BTW, Will book it again, but this time I will prefer CBT instead of the PBT. Will do that after some preparations only.

Anyways, how's your preparations going?

Oh... dont worry... this is just a matter of time.... take your time to prepare and then go for the test again...
My preparations are almost stopped as here the school holidays have started and my daughter does not allow me to study... lol.., m planning to postpone the test... i have sent an email to the test center authorities. Lets c what happens

 

[Prabhjot09]

No, it is not necessary. You need to mention it in the LoE though. Best to have your colleague signed the reference letter, preferably one rank senior.

Thank you
And one more thing what would you suggest shud i get it on plain paper and notarised or on letter head (branch letter head).

Yes, will do it like that only. Thanks!

Lol, yeah! I can understand your predicament., it becomes almost impossible to study with the children screaming around you. So, you gonna postpone it for 1-2 months, right?

By then we expect the cut-off to be dropped back to 450s, hopefully!

 

[kevwe91]

Hi everyone, thanks for the encouragement and advice, applying for the PR now. for the proof of funds, I dont have up to 12700CAD in my account, not to talk about showing it for six months, but my parents want to gift the sum to me, please how can I prepare a gift deed, thanks

 

[prsingh]

Yes, will do it like that only. Thanks!

Lets c... anyways here the test dates are like once a month... so will see what I get... hopefully The crs comes down and I dont need to take the exam

Omg...I have same circumstances. My son won't let me practise. But I have to sit for the test this Wednesday. I have no other option as I don't have any Langauge points so unfortunately, I have to take exam with lil preparation. I can't afford to delay it anymore. Otherwise, I will get discouraged and become lazy to start to study again. Hahaha.

 

[DrKT]

Unfortunately, parents are not categorised as family members for PR visa application, especially if you are married, only your spouse and/or children are counted as family members. Therefore, there is no way you can include in your EE visa application. You have apply another visa class for your parents. e.g. visitor/tourist visa.

Thanks

I want to share my personal story from the last few weeks of roller coaster emotion, hopefully it will help motivate someone reading the forum.

I took the CELPIP test in May, the results are:
L 11, R 12, S 8, W 9 (mine)
L 8, R 12, S 8, W 8 (spouse)

As you may notice my S score is below the magic number of 9, my CRS score was 398 (far beyond hope). Immediately I decided on 2 things, the first one is an option to have a re-evaluation of the score and I had my S test re-evaluated by CELPIP for a fee. The second and more drastic effort, I immediately booked an IELTS test just for myself 3 hours away from where I live for June 1st.

Two things happened after that, first, my re-evaluation was completed after two weeks and CELPIP changed my S score from 8 to 9 and my CRS score changed from 398 to 455. Just today I checked my IELTS results online and my score is L 8.5, R 8.5, W 7.5, S 7.5, which brings my score from 455 to 461. These scores are still under the cutoff, therefore no ITAs yet but I’m inching closer.

That little thing called hope, if we can find it within ourself will keep us going. However small it is, keep going for our time will come. My birthday is July 28, where I will lose 5 points so I’m hoping that there will be 2-3 draws until then and that I will make the cutoff.

Again, my intention sharing this is so that whoever out there is contemplating on booking that extra test, getting that extra credentials evaluated, or whatever the case may be can find that little push to just do it. Good luck friends and I wish us all the best!

That's indeed inspiring !! May I ask where did you take the test? I assume it must be in Canada. How was the test center audio qualities?
