Ray of Hope - *49th Draw*

[pashka4281]

413 here after Nov 19 changes. Otherwise it would have been over 900
Expecting a significant drop in their draws thresholds.

Thank you. However, when I go inside the section, both forms are checked green and when I click button to check for completeness, it says the form is complete. It was actually 'transmitted' before, but the status has changed to 'in progress' all of a sudden.

Just for curiosity, what are your current points? Are they still correct?

Yes the points are the same, as expected with education - 466

These draws have not cut off at 413 since the inception of Express Entry. I would suggest trying to increase your score (like with re-taking IELTS to maximise score).

Open up each section with the grey headings - make sure each section is complete. Don't bother with the check completeness button. Open each section up.

That was weird. I just opened up the education section, didn't modify anything, clicked on save and exit, the form status changed to updated. I reverted the changes. Now it says transmitted and points are as expected. I think the system still has bugs...

What the heck? Even my profile says for study part, "In progress", although in my case I HAVE the additional points.

then how do they plan to get more immigrants in 2017 giving us less points?
I don't get it...

Yeah, sure, thinking in that direction, nominee is probably a way to go. Also in 11 month I'll get some extra for having Canadian work experience

That's exactly the issue I just had. I just went over the form and didn't touch anything. Then clicked on 'save and exit', the form status changed to 'updated'. I reverted the changes. Now all looks fine to me and points are the same.

You reopened the form by clicking "Modify"?

Honestly guys, I wouldn't be fiddling around with your profiles NOW just before a draw, if you do something that will get it stuck on pending for 24 hours then you'll miss the draw... Which will probably frustrate the lot of you when you find out it's the lowest draw ever at around 439 points (yeah, still sticking to my SOD's LAW theory).

No news yet... waiting and waiting! :-\

 

[kryt0n]

Not looking good, guys

I think the button was called 'continue form'.

THAT is why I did not want to open it. Thankfully it is updated now. And I am at 476. Even if it says "In Progress", I don't think THAT should matter if the points ARE updated. Otherwise, why would I get the points updated? I think one would still likely get an invitation.
