Ray of Hope - *49th Draw*

[gadoken]

There will be a draw today. They are just debating should they draw 2500 ITA or 5000.

What part of your body did you pull this information out of?

 

[mukulabd]

They have to have a draw today, otherwise sh*t is going to get real. So many people must have accumulated in this month without a draw.

HAHAHAHAHAH dude I wish all the people who are here in Canada and have waited to long for ITA should get an ITA before Christmas. That's all I want for Christmas. Happiness for all !!


HO HO HO !!!

[bmandavia]

where is that guy who said he called CIC and agent told him that there will be a draw

 

[Putin]

Maybe there wont be anymore draw for this year? In 2015 only 23 draws happened and in this year already 24 draws took place....so just guessing.

CIC amateur hour, all drinks half price but no ITAs this side of new year.

I have a question, do you know whether they invite all the people above and equal to the cut-off score or not? for example, if the draw is 470, does is mean that all people above that score are invited? Also all people with the 470 crs are invited too?

If the cut-off score is 470, everyone with score 470 and above is invited. They don't pick and chose a certain number of those candidates.

it means that score(470 ) and above score holders get invitation.

To all those who are saying that there will be no draws this month:

I have received this email on December the 3rd from IRCC, I am posting a part of it:


***IMPORTANT INFORMATION***


Regular invitation rounds will begin again in the coming weeks. Use these instructions to update your Express Entry profile by December 12, 2016.

All CRS scores will be updated before the next invitation round.

***

These changes to the Express Entry system are now in effect:

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) will not be needed for certain job offers. Many people in Canada with an LMIA exempt work permit will be able to carry that LMIA exemption under Express Entry if they meet certain conditions. This will allow more candidates to receive CRS points for their job offer and meet the program requirements of the federal skilled worker class and the federal skilled trades class.


Examples
North America Free Trade Agreement
federal-provincial agreements
Mobilité Francophone
intra-company transferees, as long as they meet certain criteria, such as at least one year of work experience from the same employer who is providing their job offer
Find out more about jobs that are exempt from needing an LMIA.

The number of points you can get for a job offer has changed.
You can earn a total of 50 points if you have a valid job offer in a National Occupational Classification (NOC) 0, A or B occupation.
You can earn a total of 200 points if you have a valid job offer in a NOC 00 occupation.


A job offer now only needs to be for a minimum of one year from the time you become a permanent resident.


You can now earn CRS points for study in Canada above high school.
You can earn 15 points for a one- or two-year diploma or certificate.
You can earn 30 points for a degree, diploma or certificate of three years or longer or for a master’s, professional or doctoral degree of at least one academic year.


You now have more time to complete an application for permanent residence if you get an invitation to apply.
Applicants will now have 90 days to apply for permanent residence, instead of 60 days.
