I score 415 points due to IELTS. I have L8.5 R9 W6.5 S8
If I scored 0.5 points more in writing my CRS would be 473. Screw this IELTS
Oops..
Really frustrating it is..
Both of you have lost points in writing.
I think, you can appeal for re-evaluation of your scores in IELTS.
Pls check with the institute that took your IELTS test.

I believe the average score in the pool is probably more than 370, where did you get that number?

Can't you retake it? I believe after Victoria Day as the so-called summer comes, no one in the CIC has the mood to work :(

Thanks. I will have to retake the exam if it gets expired. However I am hoping best & waiting for a fair chance untill the last day.

I have IELTS [ R8 L9 W9 S8] ... retaking means starting all over with booking the dates > preparation > exam > results. This all may eat up next 2 months.

Expired IELTS that too on the edge is quite boring :(

May be that's Life ! ;D :D :'(

What do you mean by CIC going slow ? Is it like even if a draw gets pulled they may not send ITA ?

Regards, csam

By the way I've noticed interesting thing. In this topic only several people take part. Is it really so few of us who score 400-450? Because other topics which discuss scores below 400 and above 450 have many participants. Strange observation
What do you think comrades?

well, my guess is that a bunch of people are just not registered here, or prefer not to step forward.
btw, how is your IELTS appeal? I bet your W should be more than 6.5, if appeal doesnt help, then 1 month of IELTS targeted prep should make it. good luck!

my score is 436. The next step and the only available way to improve my CRS is to evaluate my husband's diplomas... 10 more points for 300 CAD... not sure it's worth it. Will wait for the next draw and decide :)
