~~RAY of HOPE 51st Draw~~ (Predictions)

[India Can]

I am ecstatic. I was at 476 and I WOKE UP few minutes back to see this email "New MEssage" from cic. And I thought "Oh my...is this an ITA". ;D ;D ;D

AND yes yes it was!!

Congrats raven. All the very best for ur future

Well, shoot.

After creating my profile yesterday, I found out I had been assigned 525 points instead of 500. As it turned out, I had accidentally added 3 years of foreign work experience, instead of 2 (accidentally set end date to 2016 instead of 2015).

Just updated my profile right now and fixed the issye. Looks like I'll be waiting for the 51st draw as well. ;D


Glad I didn't get an ITA as having to decline it would have been heartbreaking.

 

[ashu1710]

New language tests out!!!!! I now have 471 points!!!!!!!


Ahhhhhh!!!!!!

We can ignore the fact that I panicked so hard about the listening that I scored crazy low on the reading.... Ok??? ENGLISH IS HARD!!!

L - 8.5 (CLB 10)
R - 7 (CLB 9)
W - 8 (CLB 10)
S - 9 (CLB 10)

Also boyfriend rubbing it in that he got CLB 10 in all...Again....


Yayayayay! I might have an ITA in January!!!!!!

Congrats, kryt0n.

It would seem your long wait is finally at an end.

Thank you! And thank you EVERYONE here, I will be around here. This forum has been very supportive and encouraging and of course, a source of our optimism. Thank you! Man, I was at 476. Good luck to everyone waiting for an ITA, I hope the cutoff goes down even more and everyone here who is waiting gets it!

I'm fairly new to the forum, but my understanding is that even post ITA IELTS scores still need to be valid (not expired) until you get an AOR.
If you need to retake IELTS and your IELTS score drops, you are fine so long as 1) you still meet the minimum language requirements of your stream, and 2) your overall CRS score is still at or above the cut-off for the specific round in which you received your ITA.
*seniors please correct me if I am wrong*

Having said all that, your stellar IELTS scores are making the rest of us look bad so please stop bragging

Thanks for the answer

I feel like we'll probably end up retaking anyway. Not convinced that 467 we'll get an ITA before my husbands IELTS expires, nor would we get an AOR even if an ITA came a bit earlier.

Haha what can I say... I'm a wordsmith! No really I think it was all to do with the fact I was just kinda chilled about it. I didn't stress myself by looking things up or with practice papers. I turned up not even knowing it was split into 4 categories, which I wouldn't recommend! Ignorance is bliss sometimes!

Are you a native speaker? I'm fairly certain that would've helped.

Haha yes I am . I'm sure that's the biggest help, but I met a fair few at the test who were native speakers that were retaking for 3rd time because their scores weren't good enough for Australia. That scared me a wee bit!

I also like to talk... A lot. Can't shut me up. Im sure that helps too... Right?!

Any idea/prediction when next/52nd draw and its scores?

 

[mukulabd]

2350, 471

 

[new_canada2016]

2350? when is the next draw?

 

[mukulabd]

I stand corrected... 1760, 471. Next draw is probably first week of January. Less number of ITA because of holidays.
