Ray of Hope - 47th Draw

[ajnj2730]

Need one help and suggestion.

I am considering Canada and Australia both for PR .
but I am more interested in Canada. Australia is the 2nd option.
Does anyone have any views which one is better.
My CRS is 456 with CLB9 ( so no chance of increasing the IELTS score) . So Shall I wait till Jan . Is there any chance of getting an ITA.
or
Shall I go ahead for Australia and lose hope for Canada. I am in a dilemma.
Kindly suggest. Undecided

Double that I reckon.

Think we are going to see a 465 and then a 450 ish couple of draws

Don't expect any drastic drop in cutoff score until Ontario & BC finish their nominations.

Still i expect cutoff score drop to 450 level in next 4 draws

19th Oct draw - CRS 475 with 1800+ ITA and now with only 3 points diff they got 2000+ ITA on CRS 472

What you guys think, how many are seating till 450 ?

Like someone mentioned earlier, this small drop in cut off score does not indicate that there were lot of people between 475 and 472. Majority of these 2000 or so invites were PNP. That's why I asked if these PNP nominations will continue for how long. Once PNP nominees count goes down most of them will be EE and cut off scores will drop faster.

Expecting within Dec 2016 Ontario & BC will finish their nominations.

Yes, you are right. But, as soon as they complete there nominations for 2016. they will reopen PNP category soon.
e.g Ontario likely to open end of this month for 2017.
I don't think there will be a draw with not a single applicant have PNP (BC or Ontario) or LMIA.

And they will start 2017 before that..

Well guys, yesterday I made a statement (in the ray of hope 46th thread) that 2100 invites will be issued (the actual figure is 2080, so a difference of -20 only)
Do you want me to issue the new statement then?

 

[simplynd2804]

Can we apply for BOWP right after we get an ITA or do we have to wait for something?

You need to submit all the documents and complete the checklist that you will see in your profile after ITA. Once that is done you need to pay the application fees, you will receive AOR after you pay fees. Upon receiving AOR you can apply for BOWP.

Similar to you OOPNP did predicated 46th draw to be around 472 and I feel like what they said has some truth in it. I know many people here doesn't really fancy but I think it's good to read this article as well as any updates they might post about future draws.

Yes I read this yesterday. Right now they have no prediction about 47th.

OK Let me make this statement, there will be a draw on Nov 16th (not the next week), and the result could be something like:

Minimum CSR: 466
No of invites issued: 2250

I hope i am not hijacking the thread, as I am expecting an ITA in the next draw (469).
What was that about the "completeness check" i was reading? would an e-APR which you get immediately after you submit the application be enough for BOWP?

450 here!

But, I just noticed I haven't mentioned a family member in EE profile, my Aunt is a canadian PR.
Would mentioning this help elevate my score?

No. its not like that.

Ontario may reopen 2017 PNP category soon, but it will take a minimum of 6-9 months to start nominations.
ie From July-september 2017 only Ontario going to start nominations.

Doesn't make a difference to your CRS score!
