It has been months since I have ever looked at the CIC website. This has just become such a mess that is too much for me to deal with. Enough is enough. It is such a sad truth but I hope all the new applicants realize the fact that express entry is now nothing but a pure "lucky draw". I wanted to call it a "lottery" but even Green Card Lottery is more organized than this joke.
My suggestion out of pure goodwill to all those who have recently entered the pool is to simply create your profile and leave it on its own. Do not make a single plan about your Canadian PR. If your express entry profile (even at post ITA stage) make you put any of your life's decisions on hold even for a day I bet you will regret it later on. After all the only factor within your control which could lower your score is basically getting married. Other than that, do not care about express entry if you have any job offers, planning to study further, or other similar stuff. You can only be sure about your PR on they day you actually step your foot inside Canada on a COPR.
Again, I remind all of you new applicants. Express Entry is a pure lucky draw. Create a profile and just hope one day our luck gets us an invitation, Forget about any speculation, logic, good sign, bad sign, blah blah.
