Yes, for the PGWP expiry reason, there is no way I could get 2-year work exp. I have been at 439 since June and kept trying to resit IELTS. I guess the CSR trend wants to tell me to continue to take the exams or to wait until next year.

Everyone can able to increase their IELTS score (maybe from CLB 9 to CLB 10) with ease using Computerised IETLS and CELPIP
Recently introduced in India, spreading fast across the cities in India.
There are many slots available compared to Paper-based IELTS.

Sorry if it’s a silly question, does it mean they have invited all 1773 candidates in this draw ?

And can we expect the numbers to be low for the next draw and can we hope for the score to drop or will it go 442+ ?

Nope.. It doesn't make any sense. These are nominations of interest and not nominations proper. Folks are conquering IELTS and TEF in droves with higher degrees and points from landed siblings.

No but I still don't see below 440 this year.

Ah okay, thank you. Any idea about when would be the next draw ?

 

[samikdg]

Another Monday draw and still the cut-off increases :O

But with PNP, score must be higher than 600 as PNP itself will earn them 600 points.
Plus they will have core scores as well which will take their score above 600.
