Ray of Hope - 128th Draw

[Wbr90]

I guess they announced that they'll give 6900 this year and here's the link they gave so far even more
https://www.ontario.ca/page/oinp-express-entry-notifications-interest
So as far as I'm aware they won't send noi in 2019( in August was the last draw.
Let's hope!

But if you look at link below

https://www.ontario.ca/page/2019-ontario-immigrant-nominee-program-updates

You will see that for each category they mention specifically that this category has been closed now. You could tell from the link that september 23rd draw marked the closure to job offer category.

Hence, I am assuming that express entry stream is still active.

Well, we can't know this for sure. But they announced 6900 and now it's 6900. So I'm doubtful about this year.

Anyone hoping for a draw this week?
It is Wednesday once again one week after the latest setback. if B2B is to happen it should happen today. Lets hope it happens and brings happiness for so many of us.

Although chances are remote, but no harm in hoping for a surprise.

Chances are very slim but not impossible...CIC have a mind of its own and has become very unpredictable. But like U said, no harm in hoping...after all this is ROH thread

It's unfortunate but I don't see the score dipping below 463 tomorrow (I hope I am wrong). Unless CIC does back to back draws the score will be stuck in the 460s.

The other issue is that the pool just seems to be growing exponentially.

I know of folks who got ITA in Oct 2017 with a cutoff score lower than their 417. I got ITA in Oct 2018 and the cutoff in my draw was 440. Now in Oct 2019 the cutoff is in the 460s. It is just getting progressively worse.

Looks like the Canadian dream is over with 447 and no eligibility for a PNP. All the best to people who have a solid score!

You mean with lesser PNPs (assuming most provinces wraps up issuing NOIs by year end) and draw size of 3900, the score will fail to drop below 460 by dec-Jan?

Yes, and with a few more frequent draws. For example instead of a draw every 2 weeks they conduct a couple of them in a week's time, like 5 draws in 6 weeks (instead of 3 draws that you generally expect).

 

[WantToImmigrate]

To all those hoping for back to back draws..

I'd advise going through history of draws.. https://www.canadavisa.com/express-entry-invitations-to-apply-issued.html

This would help you sort of estimate when there could be one

 

[rajapanesar]

B2b generally happens when there is a series of holidays in the expected week of the draw including Wednesday, eg. Christmas holidays or when there is a disruption in the process that hampers the draw on expected date.
A b2b can happen before the holidays or after. There is no fixed timing for it to happen, but it does happen.

Lets wait and see

 

[Manish Patel]

I am super worried about FST. If it has to happen then it must happen today in order to keep everything smooth. I sincerely wish that they do not repeat what did in May. There was a huge gap of 28 days between FSW draws in the month of May and because which we are facing these high score draws now.

Let’s pray all of us together to avoid any bad happening !!!

I hate to give him credit, but it seems like @facethereality is correct. Outlanders should try as hard as possible to boost your scores no matter get a PNP or try to find yourself a job in Canada or try to get a degree here. Instead of waiting and having unrealistic hope for crs score dropping to 450s. It seems like it may shoot up even higher in the future, given the fact that even with a # of 3900 this draw, the crs still raised up to 464. Who knows if 460s or 470s will be the new normal cut–offs for EE next year and it seems like quite possible.

So true, I know a lot of people bash @facethereality but he was right all along. Being optimistic is good but expecting the unexpected (scores dropping to 450`s) is just unreal
