Regarding the whole b2b in december discussion... guys, keep in mind that we had b2b in December 2019 and 2018 because otherwise December would only hold 1 single draw (considering IRCC staff doesn't work, or work in reduced numbers, in the Xmas and New Year's weeks). Just check the history of previous draws... without a b2b in 2019/2018, we would have only 1 draw in these months. That's why there was b2b in these years.
In 2017, provided there was room to accommodate 2 draws, separated by 2 weeks, before Xmas week, there was no b2b. The same applies to 2020: the next draws will happen (extremely likely) on November 18th, December 2nd and December 16th.

Just pointing that out so that people can properly manage their expectations. If I were you, I *definitely* wouldn't count on a b2b this year. There is just no data to back that idea.

With 478, you can totally relax. Hahaha, I am afraid you are turning yourself into the enemy of a lot of people here who are sitting at the lower 470s.
I am afraid i don't see it that way. Someone on this thread said " nothing is guaranteed until you receive that mail and notification". Yes my score is 478 but i have had the door shut in my face twice and that's my struggle.

Every time i receive a notification from this thread my mind ponders (what could it be now?).

I will try and relax which i know that's not going to happen but i'll channel my energy and anxiety elsewhere or counting sheep.

All the best to everyone!

Dear Members,

I updated my family count and required fund in express entry profile 16 hours ago and its still saying processing update. Is that normal to take such long time to process this update? All my previous update took 1 to 5 minutes to reflect.

Will appreciate if someone have had such experience.

Thanks in advance.
Quick question

Do the babies/ toddlers need to be included on profile anywhere? I do not see that option if anyone could help

First of, congratulation with such high CRS score.
For the vast majority of candidates outside Canada it is almost unreachable.

Second of all, relax, you’ll be selected in the next draw. Keep thinking if not you than WHO?

I am at 477, is it ok to relax as well? Recent happenings make it difficult to relax. Lol
