This post is a big thank you to this series of threads, I got my ITA in Draw 124 and finally managed to complete my documentation this time around. Read further to know my journey.
I had applied for myself and a dependent spouse. I entered the pool with 458 on 2nd April, to my delight I got my ITA on 3rd, it was less than 24 hours and I had the 'Golden invite'.
To say I wasn't prepared for the documentation is an understatement. I however managed to get through all of this barring one, PoF.
Eventually the 60 day timer clicked out and I had to decline the invite.
So I was back in the pool and cutoff's for the next draw were 465. I was disheartened and dejected.
My spouse had already given her IELTS but our scores were far from the cutoffs, so to boost our score we needed to get her ECA done as well, I gathered the documents and submitted everything to WES on 20th June, and then began our wait time. We were so anxious but this forum kinda helped maintain that positivity required. So back at 20th August we finally received our ECA and that boosted our score to 466, but a few hours later the draw was out and to everyone's surprise it was 457.
It sure makes me laugh now but those two months I spent, I didn't sleep that well.
I've finally managed to submit all my documents, paid my fees and am awaiting further updates from CIC.
To all those on this forums who have been waiting, stay positive, Canada needs young people in their workforce and things will fall in place. Thanks a lot to all the active members who constantly guide and help users. Kudos to you!
