Ray of Hope - 135th Draw

[TheTAMAS]

My masters was distance learning course and WES has assessed this as a 3 year bachelor... I don’t think there’s any issue if you’ve done a distance education bachelors or masters

There's no issue unless one's fine with losing out on additional points that masters degree provides one with. Also, regular masters (or any course) scores more than distance learning courses, so if one's not bothered about losing out on those points too, then there's no issues whatsoever.

I wish I could donate extra points to someone in need.. have 15-20 points extra as per current draw

If my wife retakes Ielts and I can reach 470 too. Fingers crossed

Same here ... I have scope of 4 additional

Don't take chances and therefore don't delay in scoring those extra points. I've missed twice due to lack of 1 point. 468 (when cutoff was 469) & then gave IELTS to maxout to 472 (cutoff was 473).
Though I'm hopeful for the upcoming draw but then 1st of February, I lose 5 points due to increase in age and don't forget, PNP is soon gonna kick-in too.

Hi brother, what do you reckon the chances for 465 ? My current IELTS score is 8.5777. should I sit the test again or wait till Jan end ? I'm 26.

One of my friend has been predicting the cut-offs and since the time ive known his predictions it’s been very accurate... it’s been at least 4 - 5 draws now. According to him Next draw prediction: 468, 469 expected 22 Jan

Hello

Could you pls check with him regarding the chances for 465 ?

Thanks.

If you can,retake Ielts and aim to max out - you’ll then be sitting comfortably at 474 waiting for ITA

with all the afflux of pnp what will be the safe score in 2020

IELTS is not an easy exam, I retook it once and my score got lowered. There is no consistency in the difficulty of the exam. I am short 3 points and cannot afford to retake it for now.
I will watch the trend and if it does not go below 460s I will have to sit the exam once again...

475 should be safe.

When the cutline is too high, PGWP holder gonna have difficulties to get PR, which will cause Canada to be less attractive for international students. The funding of major universities depends heavily on International students. Trust me this is the ONLY motivation government do not want cutline to become too high. Outland applicants are just irrelevant.

I am hopeful the scores will drop this January based on past trends.

We might be hitting the 460’s range this month

Let’s be hopeful

I completely agree and it’s misrepresentation if you’ve scored less the second time and still produce the 1st results to claim more points

It’s entirely up to you.

I on the other hand have to think of PNP with my current scores.

It is not mispresentation to produce the higher score of IELTS as long as the exam is valid. Just you cannot combine the scores from two exams.

But as I have said there is absolutely no guarantee to score higher in next sitting of the exam...
