    Don’t put all your bet on it... hard to say what could happen after the election... If I were you I’ll try whatever I can to improve the CRS before year end

    IELTS OR CELPIP?

    I believe IELTS LRWS 6666 = CLB 7. So your previous IELTS-A result is almost there and considering the reading & writing part in IELTS-G are easier than IELTS-A you should be just fine. BTW I just noticed your username - are you a Chinese?

    IELTS OR CELPIP?

    I’ve heard it from others saying CELPIP is easier especially for writing and speaking part... some said listening is a bit harder than IELTS. I have no experience on CELPIP at all but I think you should also consider your previous IELTS test experience - what was your band score back then and...

    Haven’t thanked you for posting that internal tracker. really appreciate. Although there weren’t many 460ers... guessing they feel 460+ is an ITA-guaranteed score and not interested in putting down names in the tracker? ;)

    @13nitinsharma How is your OINP progress, any updates from the group of May 31 OINP candidates? It’s been 50 days and I suppose some of you have already got the approval? Also, are you going to update the internal tracker before July 24 draw? It must involve a lot of work and really appreciate...

    IELTS - Writing - For Band 7 or Above.

    Don’t call it a failure, it’s not that bad! Stay positive and work on writing. If you can, opt for CD tests - personally I find writing and reading much easier on computers.

    I think I’v read it somewhere that generally OINP takes 30-60 days to complete..? If so then very high chance for you to get your 600 additional points by next draw! Hope you receive your OINP approval very soon!

    When I was struggling to get CLB9 I felt ITA is just within an arm’s length and I had only 1 mission to complete... Now that I am with the CLB9 I dreamed for, suddenly I feel there are too many ambiguities and tasks for me to deal with... and the real wait & struggles only just start from here.

    Seeing some of the posts here made me wondering if I should go for an EOR myself... Currently sitting at CRS 458 with IELTS 8.5/9/7/7 (spouse accompanying but haven’t sit IELTS). Currently I have 3 options: 1) wait for a couple of draws with current CRS to see how the trend goes; 2) have my...

    Yes I also find privacy mode easier but this time I tried and tried but still cannot log in to the profile page. At last I switched to a desktop instead of using my mobile phone and it finally worked. Now CRS has been updated to 458, yay~

    IELTS - Writing - For Band 7 or Above.

    Just received my 2nd IELTS rest result - L8.5 / R9 / W7 / S7. What a surprise!! I really thought I failed on speaking test as I was super super nervous during the whole test and made a lot of stupid mistakes... Now all of a sudden I managed to get the CLB9 I needed!!! I know 7 is only a...
