Ray of Hope - 120th Draw

[hgunawa]

About that.. any idea what r they upto? If target is 85000.. based on last two years they'd send out 95k.. they r at 38450.. what r they thinking?

Honestly speaking, considering all the backlogs they have at the moment, I doubt they would want to add new applicants to their already overflowing work load. I have a feeling they would keep the ITAs at a down low until they clear all the applications that's past the processing time.

So many people from last year are still waiting for a decision on their application and every time someone call IRCC to inquire after their delayed applications, their answer is their 'back log'.

They seem to be pretty overwhelmed with all the applications they have to process. I heard that some of the call center agents had informed that they are going to hire new agents. So let's hope IRCC hire more agents ASAP to distribute the work load in order to increase the ITAs in the coming draws.

i m at 462 with birthday on 24 july.i think i will be able to get in 10 july draw but is it possible to submit a o r in 13 days. i already have police certificate ready but funds and medical will take time

Dont worry, once you receive an ITA and your birthday is between ITA and AOR, the immigration officers are instructed to ignore the age.

Scroll down to Exemption to section A11.2: candidates whose birthday occurs after they receive an ITA

If you were a Canadian student:
Self employed work experience while as a student and/or on a PGWP does not count towards work experience.

If your work experience is in another country, you should probably have articles of incorporation, accounts and invoices, taxes reports, etc.

Have everything, Copies of raised invoices, Certificate of Incorporation from Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Approved balance sheets from Ministry, income Tax Returns of the Company of whose I was a director, Bank Statements, Reference letters of clients of which two are government organisations, work orders. Should this be enough?

Ok fellas. Time to let go for me. CIC has taken away the single most important glimmer of a hope we used to have for a draw through a Maintenance notice, is also being used losely by them. Yeah, it's a long haul and we are in for a drag with no assistance whatsoever from CIC.

I guess no draw today. I'll wait for the next draw for a better understanding of the cut-off score as I'm more hopeful for my ITA in July rather than next week.

Also, I have a small prediction, this might be may of some interest or not, the time for "MAINTENANCE NOTICE" was from 2:30-5:30. The last time when the UI update was made, it had the same time interval.

When the draw happened, the time interval is 3:30-5:30.

So if there is a draw coming Wednesday, mark my words, the time interval would be 3:30-5:30.

Maybe we can add this to our mindset for notices.

That should be good.

I’m not sure if this pertains to your situation, for the NOC that you’re claiming when did you have the qualification to start counting the work experience?

For example, my NOC is 1122 which on the NOC page listed someone qualified to work in this NOC after college degree. So the date that I became qualified is upon graduation from college.

A very sad day for me. I would have had a very good chance to get an ITA if the draw were today. But the day after tomorrow I will lose 6 points due to my birthday and become even sadder.
Of course I am planning to take IELTS once more and try to fight those 6 lost points back.

What is your score?

 

[Mitya-kun]

What is your score?

459 now

 

[Angel1113]

459 now

I was really hoping for a draw too today. It is just heart breaking.

I am so sorry about your score decreasing. But even without 6 points you have good chances of getting an ITA and good luck for your IELTS exam!

 

[crjusuf]

459 now

You’re at 459 for another year, I think you’ll be fine in the next few draws. I love the fighting spirit trying to get those points back by increasing your IELTS score. Good luck!

Not for a year, but for 1 day only. From June 21st I will be sitting at 453. Happy Birthday to me

Thank you! It surely will for all of us, I hope. Just maybe with a bit more efforts than we expected.
