Ray of Hope - *49th Draw*

[Castillo]

The next regular draw is going to be almost after a month's interval. If they are going on vacations after that, then I hope they keep the number of ITAs high (~2500) so that they have enough work to do until the following draw. On the contrary, they might invite less (~1500) since it is holidays for them, so most people going on vacations early. :

Giving ITAs doesn't mean they can't go on Yuletide break.....they have been on break anyways!!!!

Yes they did.....but all hope is not lost.....Minister might want to play Santa McCallum....lol

huh? I thought I said work as DevOps, but ya - seems 2173 is the right fit.

Well DevOps is a way of doing things, right? It's not a tool, it's basically a more efficient process of getting your code into production... So I don't understand how you can work as DevOps... You can work as a developer using DevOps (2173) or by implementing DevOps environments (2171). Makes sense? Feel free to disagree, this is just my PoV.

Sounds like you got it from a wiki article. It depends on the company you work for, most of the time, DevOps is an actual position. It can be a Sysadmin who can code and script, or an experienced Dev who knows how to Sys Ad.

I've never actually heard anyone use "DevOps" as a method to do something. Usually they go with some buzzwords like agile, kaban, cloud or synergy etc.

DevOps is so much more that scripts automation and coding... you're thinking about developing on cloud (PaaS)... which is DevOps for small firms, but think of big legacy enterprises where you have two distinct and often competing groups one who develop and maintain the application and another who operate the infrastructure.

It's about bringing development and operations together to work more effectively. Traditionally these two groups don't play well with other as developers wish to quickly promote their code throu the lifecycle and operations require inuneroua acceptance sign off to make sure the production environment won't break!

Traditionally ITIL processes were implemented to ensure proper operations, stability and governance; as a result developers had to jump through many to get their application fix finally deployed for the end user... change management processes used to have weekly or monthly approval committees breaking the DevOps cycle altogether... and that's just one of the many examples...

On the whole to a new kid who was born on the cloud era and is used to AWS, DevOps (continuos deployment) may be natural and the only thing he's ever known... but for people who have been out there for a while DevOps is about changing a company's culture.

And yes... this is straight out of Wikipedia

Dears,

My EE application detail has status of "Update Not Submitted". I have tried submitting the application 3 times and always parked at this status, is it normal? I want to make sure that I am in the pool to be ready for the next draw.

I opened a ticket with cic support team with no feedback for 3 days.

Any suggestions, thanks a lot.

just check if there is any field mising that you might not have completed...

if you are 100% sure its a bug, then delete and recreate profile...

good luck

Can't find a thread where this was posted, but someone is famous:

http://www.cicnews.com/2016/12/pnp-specific-express-entry-draw-provides-optimism-128728.html

"For most candidates, the November 30 PNP-specific draw was unexpected, but nonetheless welcome. On the Canada Immigration Forum, many members reacted positively to the news, even though they may not themselves have been issued an ITA on this occasion. One member posted that ‘This is actually the best thing that could happen . . . This way they clear some of the high score individuals,' while another member added that ‘All PNP cases in the pool are now cleared. This means the cut off scores should drop considerably.'"

I know right! But, the next draw should give a picture as to what should people with 450-460 expect in initial draws next year.
At 450 I feel like I am so close, yet so far. Not sure if anyone else feels the same, or its just my optimism kicken in.

Wait, so I probably missed something but you guys are saying that there is a likelihood of the draw NOT happening this entire month?
