    Ray of Hope - 120th Draw

    For the first one, it would be NOC 2175. As far as will it count, honestly I don’t know. The VO has to be convinced thats all that matters. The NOC page clearly lists the duties and the requirements, so any information other than that may be unreliable unless confirmed by someone who has gone...

    Oohhhh..I see what you mean, it should be 454 (459-5) bro! Stay positive, try the IELTS again and fight for the points back! I was at 455, I decided to take the IELTS test and improved my score to 461 before my bday on July 28th. So I’m also on a time crunch.... Get really familiar with the...

    You’re at 459 for another year, I think you’ll be fine in the next few draws. I love the fighting spirit trying to get those points back by increasing your IELTS score. Good luck!

    That should be good. I’m not sure if this pertains to your situation, for the NOC that you’re claiming when did you have the qualification to start counting the work experience? For example, my NOC is 1122 which on the NOC page listed someone qualified to work in this NOC after college...

    Not a prediction, but more like a hope..if we have an invitation round this Wednesday then score around 460.

    So we’re in similar situation, same score, similar timeline before losing 5 points. Assuming normal invitation timeline, you will have 4 chances before Aug 9th, I will only have 3 chances. June 26 Jul 10 Jul 24 Aug 7 Looking at the trend, we should be fine in the next few invitation rounds...

    How long have you been waiting in the candidate pool? When do you need an invitation? I'm asking because in my case I would need an ITA before end of July where I'll lose 5 pts (you guessed it, I'm old!) lol In all seriousness, 461 is where i'm also at and according to seniors in the forum it...

    If you can increase, why not? The question is, what do you have to do to get those 2 points? How much time/effort/money is involved, and whether you're willing to do it :)

    Lol yes! The only complain I have for the IELTS test is the manual writing on paper, nowadays most of my writing is done on laptop/computer and smartphone. We're given the exact word count and also the ability to edit and insert words/sentences or even re-arrange paragraphs instead of having to...

    It won't affect it immediately. As for how it impacts in the future, we don't have much to go on at this point.

    Have you considered IELTS? At first I have less confidence in the IELTS test since its PBT vs the CELPIP CBT format, however I did score better on the IELTS. Give it a try, you never know! One tip that I can share is get really familiar with the test format, I believe knowing the format well...
