    Why is Draw going so high?

    Some suggestions have been that it will go lower later half of this year (based on facebook groups)

    Ray of Hope - 117th Draw

    Want to ask/confirm something about the PR process. My understanding is that once you have a COPR (hopefully) and make an initial visit to Canada (I guess what many here refer to as "Soft Landing"), you are free to live outside of Canada for upto three years. That is post the "soft landing", as...

    ECA from University of Toronto Comparative Education Service (CES) - My Experience

    I see thank you, I was getting my hopes up. They date they received my documents is April 16th :( , 12 weeks from that would put me very close to my birthday and a loss of 5 points.

    Ray of Hope - 117th Draw

    Out of curiosity what exactly happened in Jan 30th draw that caused an increase in CRS cutoffs?

    Is there any hope for CRS 435 in 2019?

    Is this valid/legal way to improve score? I agree with other poster that you should look to improve IELTS score. If you can get to 445 range, there will be a decent chance.

    Personal History -- Travel History

    Thank you for this link, can someone confirm if this is true? My passport was issued by Washington DC Consulate. If I go there will I really get a PCC same day? That seems too good to be true. Don't they check some background back in India?

    Thanks for the info! How come he didn't get the PCC from US consulate or embassy instead? I am thinking of doing that, going back to India is tough for me

    Thanks, yes that is true. I will start that process of getting PCC for India (not even sure how to get it from India :( ) But I guess at least it is not blocking from entering the application.

    Personal History -- Travel History

    Thank you, I was worried I misread something. So then my other question was how do they measure ten years, I moved to the USA in July 2009 and have been here since (outside of 1 month visits to India). If I apply in June 2019 (hopefully), then counting back ten years to June 2009, I do not meet...
