Ray of Hope - 135th Draw

[tani90]

WES has done a similar thing for my Masters. They’ve evaluated it as a 2 year Bachelor. With the score I’m at (470) I don’t know if I should consider an ECA from ICES/IQAS etc.

Have you hired a consultant or are you conducting the process on your own ? My consultant have advised me to get it done again through ICES as IQAS is not accepting applications currently. I wish they told me earlier, they told me after 3 months of waiting in the pool. So I feel you can also go ahead with the process as it is definitely a ray of hope. All the best !

Sounds right. Thank you.

I’m doing good everything on my own. I didn’t feel the need of a consultant.

Thats super cool. Actually a friend suggested them so we thought it will fasten the process, but I feel I was wrong. Where are you from ?
Just asking, I am new to the forum so...

Hi, is there a thread where one can discuss about "How to get a Job Offer from a Canadian Employer?". I know its extremely difficult but I thought there should be something where one can vent out

I’m from Mumbai - Bandra. I visited a lot of consultants that my friends recommended. I felt a lot of them lacked knowledge and were only interested in charging an upfront fee for the process, thus I decided to do this on my own.

Nice.

Do you know the average processing time and charges to get an ICAS ECA?

ICES (to be precise). I am not sure of ICAS. It roughly takes around 4 months after the University send the transcripts through post or via email (they accept both). The fee is CAD 275.

Damn that’s time consuming.
Thanks for sharing details

hi
is there any draw today?

I wish. Unfortunately there isn’t a draw expected today.

My score is 462. Have the maximum in IELTS and have no way to do French as there are no institutes or tutors available in my area.

I have lost hope for Canada now. Does anyone know how the Australian system works?

You still have PNP options that you can consider.

Currently at 465 and in a dilemma. I have a booking for IELTS next week. Should i take the test or wait in the hope of B2B draw reducing the score below 465 by the end of Jan 20?
Suggestions please.

Regards.

I am on the same boat but have not yet booked for IELTS, I am waiting to see how the next two draws will happen.

I don’t have much idea how it works. Isn’t it that the provinces nominate you on their own based on your express entry profile? Also my NOC is 1111. Are there any provinces demanding this? Also how do I apply for Pnp?
