24th draw on 29th December won't surprise me .

[bestofluck]

440 was an example taken to explain the logic. Obviously, it will take more time to hit 430 than 440, and still more for 420. Since the OP spoke about "coming months", I took 440. In the below posts, I've used 430 and even 400, as examples, if that will make you happy!

In this post here, I've mentioned how many people are at each point, taking examples of 440, 430 etc. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/cic-19th-draw-how-many-450-and-above-still-waiting-t360753.0.html;msg4697291#msg4697291

In this post here, I've said it won't come below 400 for a long long time: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/my-crs-is-380-any-chance-for-me-t380338.0.html;msg4774526#msg4774526

If CIC says scores will come down, then it will. Can you please give me a link where they said that?

It is a 3rd party site not CIC's official report. The scores have to fall as the backlog clears off so there is no breaking news on that front. The question is how much it will fall. And number411 got it right - there are enough candidates waiting with a score of 440-450 to keep the draw cutoff high enough in early to mid 2016. Draw cutoff is unlikely to ever fall below 430 or thereabouts.

Query regarding proof of funds.

i am about to submit my application for Ontario PNP. I have 2 FD's issued in July and one in October, do I need to submit any letter of explanation that these were given to me by my husband?

Well for a moment Asivad, I wondered if I had made a mistake by accepting SINP nomination at 446. If scores are going to fall to 446 in the next 3 months, then I would have waited.

Yeah, a bird in hand is better of course, but the liberty to shift provinces look attractive too, for a PN guy.

The Canadian constitution protects your mobility rights. Even as a PN, you are free to relocate and work anywhere in Canada after you 'land' and activate your PR status. There could be moral arguments to stay back and strive to make a living in the province that nominated you and helped you become a PR but there are no legal hurdles in moving to another province after getting your PR status.

How long will it take to reflect the updated score after adding new IELTS score?

 

[JoacRy]

Can take up to 24 hrs

Yes, I know this, thank you however.

Its better to be safe than sorry later. So I guess it makes sense to do a genuine effort at settling down in the same province that nominated, and thereby avoid worries that might cause High BP till citizenship, which takes a long enough time for the BP to kill the PNP PR guy.

I'm still learning about SK, and just saw that Saskatoon and Regina are the 3rd and 4th highest population growth areas last year in Canada, Calgary and Edmonton being the first two. Ref: http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/91-214-x/2015000/section01-eng.htm

I've actually been doing some research as well, and SK might not be so horrible after all. I think I will definitely give it a geniune shot at settling there.
Obviously if it doesn't work out soon enough..that's a different story

So will you also take a flight via London -> Calgary -> Saskatoon? I know its too early to discuss flights but I hate paying last minute big bucks and long flights make me uneasy so I try to pick good stopovers and a short last leg. Compared to Toronto or Vancouver, a Calgary SK flight is just about 1 hour.

may be over 6 months scores ll come down to 425 because let's not forget the fact that lot of people between 400 and 450 are getting nominations also. and if backlog is really cleared that means number of candidates being picked up by ee will be doubled. my perception is that it should touch 425 430 in next 6 8 months

Good question. The London -> Toronto flight is shorter than the London -> Calgary, so i think the total journey time to SK is about the same. I will definitely be going with the cheaper option as it's me and spouse. I have also been keeping an eye on tickets but you can't really do anything until you get PPR
Again, if my friend in Toronto is around, I might just do my landing there and stay a couple of days.

Hi Asivad,

How long it will take to get PR status?

Once you get PR visa and you cross the border, you are PR.
