Now that you'll be getting an ITA, are you still taking the TEF? ;D

Actually yes, I have to go to Mexico City to do the medicals so i'll kill two birds with one stone and do the TEF since I booked it already.

It can't hurt my application if they see I can speak french :)

Cheers

Congratulations to all those who are 475 or above! Will people finally stop taking as gospel the rubbish that oopnp publish now? Their last post only two days ago had the headline "CIC 45th Draw scores prediction, higher cut-off, policy announcements, Ontario PNP Expected" and their prediction of ITAs - "Our prediction for the CIC 45th Draw CRS score is a bracket of 481-483 with approximately 1200-1600+"

Absolute nonsense. They know nothing more than we do on here.

hehehe copycats

No, I can guarantee someone will post something OOPNP said next week.... either that or the CIC guy on 'that' video (perhaps that guy in the video actually works for OOPNP!!)

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I just opened my lap top and so happy to see this news.....So there were not so many people above 480 as people had been speculating......Hoping to get in on the next draw!

I was saying for so many days that there can't be many people at 481, and I was right! 8) Congratulations everyone! This is great news indeed! Time to party hard for all of us, we deserve this!

People with delusional optimism still quote that guy from time to time.

So guys their is no delusion my assumption got correct

JALT said:
I don't think many people believe that guy in the video anymore

My assumption says that their will be a draw next week also and then they will skip one draw

its like 3 draws in a month to reach their target of 5000 ITA a month
 
Guys, I'm at 451 right now, in a month-two hopefully will be at 461 (when my husband's ECA is done). In how many draws do you think the score will fall to 450 or 460? Will I have the time to do my husband's ECA until it reaches 460?

It's impossible to predict properly as we don't know how many people are joining the pool each week, so it would be a wild guess... and if Trump wins on the 8th there could be a rush of Americans joining the pool
 
Congratulations to everyone who got the ITA in today's draw! ;D 8)

Sitting at 458... Hopes are on! If not through regular draws, maybe with OINP next month... Fingers crossed! :)
 
Hey! You're my CRS twin! :P
