NOC 0124, CRS 458. Hoping for an Ontario human capital draw as soon as possible (and hoping that the priority NOCs do not change).

Saskatchewan average processing time is some 40 weeks (as opposed to 8 weeks for Ontario). So they won't hit the pool that quickly. Eventually, yes those NOIs will also lead to a spike in the CRS score.

There's no trend here really.. Express Entry is a young program and each year has seen changes. So we can't conclude anything. However in this particular case, Ontario last issued NOIs on July 12, August 1 and August 15. Between the three sets, there were a total of 4,393 NOIs issued. After...

I've been tracking the number of OINP nominations being issued between each draw, taking the myimmitracker site as a proxy. There has been no end to the continuous flow of nominations as yet. There were 22 nominations reported at this site in the period between Nov 13 and Nov 27, which is even...

Today's draw should see the last of the Ontario PNPs getting whisked away (with a few stragglers remaining of course), and the score reaching 469-471. Once the PNPs are off the pool, CRS score will start coming down rapidly. Then in the Nov 27 draw, it would hopefully be 464-465.

The score will definitely touch 462 in December (assuming that 4th draw on the 18th which should happen), if not 459-460. There simply isn't that much density in the 460s for the score to remain that high. The pressure resisting downward movement will start once the score reaches 457 (the late...

Gladly. Let me know if you have any specific queries. I had a 7 the first time I tried (which I had done without checking how they mark essays), while my wife had a 7.5. Since then the focus has been entirely on getting the structures right - ensuring the links etc are there which IELTS looks...

Yay maxed IELTS in my 2nd attempt at 9, 9, 9, 7.5. I'm now at 463, but realistically that's just a 458 because my birthday is in 17 days. Still, 458 gives me far more hope for an ITA before March 2020 than 455 did.

According to SINP's latest published figures, express entry processing takes an average of 41 weeks and OID processing takes 27...

Isn't the average time for SINP nomination processing around 40 weeks? So don't worry about these PNPs until the middle of next year.

Increased ITA numbers per draw is better than weekly draws because it would dip into the current pool of people, and there won't be any effect of even a one-week build-up of candidates. Regardless, any of these would be quite welcome.

:) Didn't help me much though. I'm at 460 now and going to slide down to 455 on November 25th. Couldn't be in the pool earlier because my wife's WES verification took time (she did MBA from SIBM btw and only got a PG diploma equivalency). By the look of things, I'm probably gonna rely on a...

Ah that’s why. PGP X gets the post graduate diploma equivalency. PGP gets masters equivalency.

Not strictly true. I got mine 3 months ago and WES gave masters' equivalency for Ahmedabad. I'm not sure if they differentiate between IIMs. I was under the impression that all IIM and IIT post graduate degrees were given masters' equivalency.

9 Wednesdays to go before we hit holidays. Total invites for the year remain 67,300. Last year's total invites were 89,800. Even at 3,900 invites per draw, that means 6 draws still to be done over the next 9 Wednesdays just to match last year's total invites. Is there any worldly reason to...

Got it, thanks. It definitely looks like different consulates have different formats of application. Logically, they shouldn't have a problem accepting a PCC with an alternate purpose.

Hmm, I'm guessing then that the consular service requirements vary from country to country. I'm currently in South Africa, and this form - https://www.vfsglobal.com/India/Southafrica/pdf/PCC-application-form.pdf - is the only form to be filled for a PCC application. Along with this you submit...

I'm an Indian citizen and I had applied for PCC from outside India couple of months back and they did not ask for purpose. It's just a form with basic details that you fill and submit to VFS. The PCC that I got issued states the name of the country where I'm currently residing as 'issued for X...

I thought that wasn’t a requirement? If an Indian passport holder is living abroad and they have a PCC for India (for whatever purpose) issued after the last time they left India, then that should suffice correct? The purpose of PCC being Canada immigration is not specified anywhere as a a...

Thanks! I wasn't aware of the nominations update page. 6,033 till date is a tad better than I had thought.. if we are lucky, most of the remaining 900 should get nominated by October 30.
