Hello everyone,
I want to say to everyone who's waiting for their FSW ITAs that
it will happen. Please do not lose hope.
An ITA may not come in our planned timeline but it will happen - one way or another. It took me 1.5 years of waiting (after losing 10 points due to age) but i did get my ITA via Ontario PNP a few weeks ago. However, during those 1.5 years, I lived in hell. I felt anxious, scared, hopeless and angry all the time. I almost forgot to live in the present, but now i regret that. I couldn't control how i felt then but i wish someone had told me not to worry.
If IRCC can do a 27K draw for CEC candidates, who's to say FSW won't get a miracle like that? Once FSW resumes, just a few back-to-back draws could bring the cut-off down. Please don't lose sleep over it - have patience, and stay prepared.
I also want to thank the members on this group who already have their ITA for all their incredible advice and support. I am also in the early stages of that journey and hoping to get some more advice from the people who've already gone through this:
- I got my ITA but now my passport number has changed. my PCC and medical will be on the new passport. But ITA, PNP, IELTS and WES are on old passport. Should i change my passport details on the initial form we fill on ee portal after getting the ITA?
- My medical is scheduled for 23rd Aug, and the results will be ready after 15 calendar days. Can i submit my application after taking the medical on the 23rd or do i have to wait for the results? The panel doc will send results directly to IRCC via e-medical anyway and i won't get a copy (unless i pay for it).
- Once I start filling the form after ITA, can i still decline it if i don't get my PCC and medicals in time?
- Once I submit my application, can i withdraw it and re-enter the express entry pool?
Thank you for your help in advance! Any guidance is truly appreciated.
