Waiting from Mar 15, passport at IRCC Bangalore. Anyone know if all passports have been returned for requests before Mar 15 (Jan 1 to Mar 15 2022)?

How were you able to complete biometrics in 3 days? I just got a biometrics letter and all over the US the appointments are 3 weeks out.

It is going to be tight for you. With two IELTS results before the next draw the score probably rises. For it to come back to 440, it may take atleast a couple of draws after that which would make 440 difficult for the next few draws. I hope you make it before your score drops.

There are about 10 draws left and at 3750 per draw they will easily meet and probably exceed their target. Wouldn't be surprised if the draw size is adjusted to 3500 for the last few.

Excellent point. This is not the right time for OINP HCP. Should wait for a month or two for the cut off to come down and then start issuing NOIs and also hope for the number of NOIs to be high, there are a lot of people after all.

I don't even want to predict if it's going to be over 440.

Just when we thought IRCC is more structured and will do biweekly draws with consistent draw size, everything went out of the window with no draw last wednesday. We are going to get a lot of data tomorrow but I don't know what to do with it as all of my calculations are not helping due to...

I don't know much about OINP. Do they issue invitations all year round? Where can I get more info about it? I was in the pool since Feb 23rd 2018 at CRS 435 and have not been invited?

I hope we will see a draw this week. Friday draws are not unusual.

Well, the smart Dicks at 430 got more competition now. It was never about 413 or 423, it was about quota and getting the best 75k or 85k or 95k a year. If all 90k a year are met at CRS 465 then someone like me at 435 is not a smart Dick.

It has always been like that. Merit based system is not for every Dick just for smart Dicks. And Tom and Harry are welcome too. ;)

I will wait till 19:00 UTC before thinking there is no draw today.

I feel for you. You have to wait a whole two weeks for the ITA.

What do you mean so late? The draws never came out so early. Sometimes, the draws take until evening too. My guess is we should see one in the next 1.5 hrs (by noon).

wow....I see very few people active here. the ROH threads used to be very active everyday more so on the day of the draw but this one......

Can't do! Was at 440, now at 435. Maxed out on IELTS. Any other option would take months if not years.

What do you mean? I am at 435 and I see very little hope for the score to come down to that. Even a point a month would make it impossible to reach that this year and who knows what happens next year.

You are correct. The only difference today's draw makes is to remove those 200 PNP people out of the next week's regular draw. So, the cut-off next week won't suddenly drop by 3 to 5 points. It might be +/- 2 points last draw.

Nope, if the draw is pushed back to June 13th (I don't think it will) then the score would jump to 442 or higher. If the draw size goes up to 3750 on June 13th then 441 or higher. If the draw size increases to 4000 then the cut off could be 440 or higher. But I wish to see a draw on June 6th for...

You forgot the new entries. This was as of May 24th which is right after the last draw, hence, very few people above 440. By next week, it will be two weeks of new entries which could be 150 to 250 a day (let's assume 200 average per day) which would make it approx 2800. I don't see it suddenly...
