Ray of Hope - 149th Draw - CEC

[zabrodov]

FSW draw tomorrow, guaranteed. A valuable source has told me

You understand that if you guaranteed something, referred to a "valuable" source and then it doesn't happen, no one will take you seriously afterwards? It's just a too bold commitment to word your statement in that way

I think he's being sarcastic.

He's navinball lite.

Post was sarcastic based on the previous (also sarcastic) post above it.

It's a joke. A sense of humor will do you good. @Islander216 That's the worst thing you could call someone :O (except maybe the other guy)

Anybody who got invited on May15 for CEC draw#148 can confirm what was the date on your invitation letter? 14th or 15th

 

[Timbuktu_14]

You know for sure or just best guess?

I know for sure. My biometric for my tourist visa was still active at the time I took mine. Was told told to do another one.

Can anyone give me some pointers on scoring 8.0-9.0 in reading section? It seems I always overthink the T/F/NG questions and bungle it up. @ZAtoCD ?

Hi. We are CEC standing at 442, do you think we will get the ITA in the next draw on May 29th?? on the other hand, I get my 2 years of qualified experienced on June, chances are that if we dont get the ITA on the next draw and the trend continue decreasing the cut-off, we will get the ITA in June

I would say to just avoid overthinking. If it seems like the right answer, then it most likely is. I was surprised how relatively easy the IELTS was, because I'm so used to English exams that try and trick you. So I was worried that I had made a mistake in always going for the simplest answer. But it worked

Super hard to say. My guess would be that you are 2 draws out. So you'd be invited in 2.5 weeks.

Question(s): Do you have any experience in Canada? Did you study there? Which PNP you got nominated? What is your CRS? Did you apply particularly to some PNP or got nomination based on your express entry profile?

I am just curious as my NOC is in the same range.

No experience in Canada. On H1b in U.S.
Ontario PNP
Crs 468
NOC-2175
Got NOI (notification of interest) from Ontario (tech draw) in express entry profile messages. After getting NOI, we can create profile in Ontario website and submit application and wait for approval.
In your express entry profile’s section “provinces you are interested in” , there whichever provinces you select, you will have chance of getting NOI from ONLY those provinces.

The most obvious answer is the correct answer, it's very straightforward. Don't overthink don't second guess.

NG means that it doesn't mention this aspect in the passage, so it doesn't state it overtly then it's NG.

Thank you for the advice. Would anyone mind answering this question - Passage says "More often than not, shoplifters are repeat offenders."
Statement - Shoplifters shoplift multiple times.

Would the answer to this be T or F? It seems to me that the statement is stating as if it is a confirmed fact (something that is a certainty) but the passage says that it usually happens but not always. So it should be F. But if you go by the spirit of the statement and the passage, the statement is supported by the information in the passage, so it should be T. What is the right answer?

NG
Statement implies ALL shoplifters are multiple offenders which is not true.
It also does not directly contradict the premise which means it's also not false.

It's definitely a tricky one, it's a bit hard for me to look at it out of the passage's context and answer.

I would go with T from what you've described, given that even though they don't state it explicitly as a fact in the passage, they do mention that the probability of a shoplifter shoplifting multiple times is greater than only being a one time offender. So in a way, the statement is more true than false. And as you said, this notion is reinforced by the information in the passage.

Just curious, did you study law?

Anyhow, I wanted to mention i got L 9 R 9 W 7 S 9, just to assure you i'm not taking liberties by trying to give you some advice lol. And the 7 was bogus lol.

I just found that when i answered the questions, it was usually the simplest explanation i could find from the passage to either support or not support the statement which was usually correct.
