Got it. And can my spouse stay as tourist during this time?

She can come in as a tourist..apply for extension of visitor record before 6 mos is up
OR Once you apply for PR on her behalf, she can apply for an open work permit

Is anybody expecting a draw today like me? Does anybody have any idea why is it taking so long? Is there even a draw today

Thanks @lignumvitae. I was persuing my Bachelor's degree (Bachelors of Business Administration) when I worked in it's final year. If I show mention the work ex from the date my degree ended, do I need to mention anything in LOE?

Your work experience won’t be counted during your period of study for Bachelors. Better to get an employee reference letter from the date you graduated. Not necessary to mention it in the LOE. Just inform the employer of the situation so that if CIC contacts them for any background checks, they know. Good Luck!

Last time it was 8:40 PM IST when draw happened, have faith it will happen today !!!

 

[rajapanesar]

Which master's course did you pursue?

MBA Marketing Management.

 

[Ctv92]

Any legit reasons for this? Doesn't make sense at all!

On any tourist application, you have to show ties to your country as the officer has to be convinced you do not plan to overstay and have intent to return to your country within 6 mos. it's only after she's here that you'd submit PR on her behalf and officially be letting them know of change of intent/status (which is legal).

Hey guys, good luck! New to this thread so I apologize if someone's asked this already but what would you guess chances are with a 478 score for today's draw?

A question back to you, have you checked the previous draws and the recent score trends?
Anyways, you will get ITA for sure in the next draw provided you clear the cutoff date. All the best

I don't see why it won't be counted IF you were working and getting paid..not just volunteering.
It's not uncommon for people to work full time and go to school..expecially ss grad students.
I would make sure employment letter mentions you were paid from the start (even as a student. If you weren't working full time then, count it as part time..) and then continued on full time post degree..and explain in LOE

Yeah I have and as I elaborated in a different reply, I was honestly looking for some reassurance. Doing this all on my own and it’s making me slightly giddy, and it seemed like we’re all in this together. But anyway, thank you for your faith. I’m hoping for the best for all of us today.

Looksike no draw today

 

[sys1user]

One of my friends just received an ITA. CRS 466.
But doesn't look like the draw is announced yet on the EE website. Possible?
