Ray of Hope - 112th Draw

[Theo2018]

I highly doubt it will drop to 439 next Wednesday. Probably 445-446

Hoping for another b2b draw next week!

Job title need not match exactly to the ones mentioned in website for your NOC.. the duties need to match more than 50%.. if company is not ready to provide reference letter, you can get it from your manager or senior and get it attested and submit along with the senior's ID card and official mail ID.. also support with offer letter , payslips etc..this has worked for many ppl..agent will not tell you these things upfront because they want to extract money from you..

Hi @raj_tan - If i get the letter attested by my manager and get his ID card copy and mail id, is it enough? Or do i need to get it notarized as well. I read in some forums that getting it notarized is mandatory. Is this true?

Better to get it notarized.. but not sure if it is mandatory..

It is hard to predict what Ontario would do! The federal draw of 438 would have killed their hopes of people accepting OINP invitations released in Jan'19 and hence it makes sense that they would release similar invites again. But then, again, Ontario PNP program is quite unpredictable!

If Ontario issues noi this week, then it's going to be the final nail in the coffin for most ppl at 435 to 438 if it targets ppl just below 457.. but if Ontario has learnt its lessons last time, there is a possibility of back to back draw.. so they might wait until the next draw.. but even then below 440 is touch and go since federal cut off would be around 445+ as the number of invites is reduced to 3350.. But both cic and Ontario are unpredictable.. anything can happen..let's hope for the best..

Once can always hope

I can feel your pain mate.. if you are bachelor's degree holder, go for an one year PG diploma which can earn you additional 33 points assuming you are clb 9+.. at 435, even Ontario's noi looks very bleak.. try to increase your score instead of letting fate to decide the destiny..

Yes I have a bachelor’s degree but student visas are waaay too expensive. I’m gonna retake my IELTS and hope for the best. I really hope they do back to back draws plus OINP invites. Does anyone have news on this??

You already have clb9 in IELTS.. you can add another 6 points max to your CRS as long as you are below 30.. but a one year PG would give you 33 more points.. you need not do that from Canada.. you can do the course from any recogireco University in your country..even distance education is considered for immigration..

The reason for sudden rise in CRS cut-off is WES, which was on vacation in the last two weeks of December.

They released lot of results in the month of January resulting in lot of people submitting their applications in February.

The CRS cut-off should come down to an average of 445.

2 IELTS results came out in the last 3 weeks apart from the additional WES assessments and also the 3 week gap between the draws allowed more people to enter the pool.

Based on the current average intake around 3350 applicants enter the pool with CRS 445 and above every 2 weeks.

So for the cut off to go down back to 445 range we need a draw next week (which will compensate the 3 week draw).

Otherwise, it will take sometime to go back down to 445 if we continue with 2 week gap draws.

Any degree from a recognized institution from your home country will do. If you're under 30 I would highly recommend taking another degree to improve your score.

I do not want to give anyone false hope, but this year's scenario is pretty much like 2017.

They did 15 draws by May end and the least score that year was 413 (twice).

Yes, they are having a high number of candidates with high scores on daily basis but there are factors like WES holidays affecting them.

As per CIC's requirement and stuff I believe they will be doing a back to back draws and try to reach another minimum score this year then 2020 will be a high game.

Out of the 15 draws, 2 were program specific draws for PNP and FST and the lowest cut off score 413 happened only once. CRS 415 cut off happened twice.

Even if they repeat 2017 (in terms of frequency of draws and number of invites), I dont see the cut off going to an all time low. This I because the number of applicants in the EE pool have drastically increased compared to 2017.

My CRS score is 442 and my birthday is on 27 April.. I have 4-5 draws max from now .Is there any chance that it will reach there?

I had my ielts result in October 2018. And thn 3 months for WES. I got my ECA on 28th January but my agent didn’t submit my file on 28th and missed draw on 30th January. My CRS score is 450. This time cut off is very high. I applied for ECA in August 2018. Firstly they rejected my documents as university hadn’t submitted documents directly and thn there was no update for long time and delayed my process. I have my pcc and experience documents ready. Don’t know when will I receive ITA. Losing hope now as there are chances that next cut off will be more than 450

What do you mean

You don't need to get it notarized if it's from you manager.

Does anyone know the predicted scores if they draw back to back next week?

If there is a draw next Wednesday it will be 445-446. If it's March 6 then definitely 450.
