    Help needed on multiple items post ITA

    I would say NO. MEntioning you have used different names in not appropriate in this scenario. If you have never changed your name but just that your name is represented in different formats don't select "Yes" for different names. Simply include an LOE with different formats of names and support...

    Ray of Hope - 104th draw

    I wouldnt classify it as a bad practice considering they did earn it. Anyway, fact is that technically they can put anything they want in the EE appln TRF number. It is only in the eAPR they need to put the correct one. In this cut throat competition, they might as well cut some throats. (gulp...

    Is TRF required for updating IELTS score in EE profile? I know it is required for eAPR but needed for EE too? (Been a while since I filled the EE so lost touch)

    Give the new company name i.e the one that can be verified via website or phone. Don't forget to mention this change in your LOE. Good luck.

    Ray of Hope - 103rd draw

    I am really sorry buddy. Don't give up hope. See what you can do to reach 440s. Also let's hope this is a 3 draw month so that the score will fall.

    Ray of Hope - 102nd draw

    If you are 440+ get all your documents ready for AOR. I don't see how you may not get an ITA this year. Good luck!

    Ray of Hope - 102nd draw

    60 days is not enough? If not, decline and wait for next one. But don't keep doing this for every round. Every ITA you decline is a PR another deserving person could have gotten.

    That is just a "late" notification for your ITA. Just ignore it.

    Ray of Hope - 102nd draw

    What are your options? 1. If you are in 435 bracket - Max out your IELTS. Book atleast 4 consecutive appointments. Time is against you. Add a fresh appointment every time an unfavourable result comes in) 2. If you are less than 30 - drop everything and go do an additional diploma/college. (I...

    Ray of Hope - 100th Draw

    Buddy, I sold my car and pledged my wife's gold so that me and my spouse can take IELTS as many times as necessary to crack this. We booked about 11 slots and used 7 till we got there over a year. We have 2 kids and getting them to a better country was all that mattered. This is just a part of...

    Ray of Hope - 100th Draw

    This is very negative. As much as we imagine CIC officers sitting with mugs of coffee in a board room with wicked looks in their eyes while gaming the draw size to keep the EE cut-off at a constant 440. I would believe there is a lot of hope for those at 435+ by either waiting OR pushing your...

    Ray of Hope - 98th Draw

    It depends on country and IDP/BC. In India IELTS revaluation is usually between 1 - 3 months. Usually 1.5 months.

    Ray of Hope - 98th Draw

    Do both. Go for a re-test and apply for re-val only if getting a better score in speaking/writing will help. Useless to apply hoping for increase in reading/listening.

    Ray of Hope - 98th Draw

    It is simple, if you really believe you did well in a certain section and think you deserve more - MAINLY writing/speaking then go for it. Else, it is a waste of money. Go with your gut feeling. One more problem with remarking is that it takes 2-3 months to arrive by which time you could take 4...

    Ray of Hope - 96th Draw

    I dont think there is anything sinister in what IRCC is doing. EE is a merit based process and age is a part of the equation. Even if IRCC intentionally moved things around to closely guard the 440 territory, I would see people losing ITAs in a 3 week draw due to age as a collateral damage...

    Ray of Hope - 95th Draw

    LOE with affidavit will be the way to go. Make sure your APR post ITA has a valid passport not a cancelled one.
