Ray of Hope - 165th Draw - All Programs

[Smily Pathak]

Guys, I submitted my application a day before and received an invite today. I didnt expect to get it so soon, as Im quite busy with other things atm. Would it go against me if I click the decline button. Would I be able to reapply in a few weeks and still get an invite?

PLEASE DO NOT DECLINE, IT IS A GOLDEN TICKET WHICH PEOPLE WAIT FOR YEARS, IF THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE APPLICATION AND YOU HAVE VALID REASON TO DECLINE, ONLY THEN DECLINE THE INVITE. IRCC IS NOT REJECTING ANY APPLICATIONS IF YOU CAN'T SUBMIT ALL THE DOCUMENTS ON TIME DUE TO COVID 19

Does anyone know if there will be only CEC draws in the future again?

Hello people, I’m trying to fill out my EE profile. I schooled in the UK for my masters degree about 7years back and returned to my home country. Do I need to get PCC from the UK also ?

Yes. For any country you stayed in longer than 6 months, you have to give that country PCC.

I'm not sure what francophone mobility is but if you're referring to the bonus points for french proficiency, then unfortunately you don't meet the requirements. You need a minimum of CLB 7, which equates to upper B2 in ALL the 4 categories. Additionally, for the regular express entry, I'm pretty sure you'd need over 450/699 (CLB 7) in EE for the the bonus 30 points.

Can this affect frequency of draws or immigration strategy

I'm at 457. Lost all hope now. I lost points in January this year and will lose points in January again. Time to focus elsewhere i guess.

Hey my East African brother. Don't give up. What are the ways you can gain points? Perhaps Msc, spouse ECA and/or IELTS, etc...

Guys, needs your opinion on this:

Will IRCC reach its 2020 Express Entry target invitations earlier than December?

They have so far invited around 82,850 based on some apps, and as I searched, they have planned for 91,800 in 2020.

So roughly around 8,950 invitations remaining..
By conducting two FSW draws of 4500 each, it would be filled, right?

So should we expect them to switch to PNP or even pausing draws or changing draw schedules??? Or you guess they would exceed their earlier threshold?

Just wanted to have your personal viewpoints on this.

I can gain points through msc or french.

With the current trend, there is a high chance that CEC only draws won't comeback.
