You are almost certainly getting an invite on the next draw. Like 99%.
You can change your job right now (assuming you are in the FSWP stream), and there's nothing wrong with that, though that may lead to a change in NOC, and correspondingly, in your CRS overall. There is no harm in applying with a job where you are an independent contractor- I had something similar I applied with, and at a provincial level at the very least, I ran into no problems
Thanks for the quick response! ;D

Yes, guessing is all we can do :) And like you said, it is out of our hands now, we've done what we can.
HOWEVER, I do want to address the point about there being a draw this Friday, in that I don't think there will be one this week. Let me explain- not only was there a draw last week (meaning this would be two consecutive weeks of draws, and not only is that unfeasible logistically, but it statistically undermines the point of having multiple draws spread out over the year in the first place), but also, the new government gets sworn in this Thursday, meaning we are looking at a lot of staffing changes and stuff- I really highly doubt that a new draw will happen in the thick of all that.
Have fun in Vancouver!
Aragorn if there is a draw this friday it won't be consecutive as the last draw was on 23rd which makes this friday 2 weeks apart.....anyways yes guessing as others the trend seems like there should be a draw this friday as most draws barring a couple have all been on fridays! fingers crossed hoping for a draw this friday as i too would get my ita in this one :)

484 not bad

Darn it! Missed mine by 3 points!! :-
Oh well, hoping the next draw in 2 weeks. They don't tend to do 3 week gaps in a row.

At least that dulls the worries "slightly" about refugee apps showing things down or new government changing too much.

Oh and bestofluck... :)
Your prediction of 900+...? Not quite hey, BY A MILE.

Are you going to start being a little more realistic and less dramatic?

I know how you feel. Prior to updating my points I missed the last draw by 3 points as well. Now I have updated I'm down to 466. I'm looking at this as a positive (of sorts). My prediction about prioritizing the refugee processing (over EE applicants) didn't materialize. I hope that this is the first draw that continues a downward trend in the EE scores.

If it is you will definitely get the next one for sure.
