If number of ITAs are around 1500 like last year :-\, do u guys feel still score will go down to say 457??

Honest feeelings guys?? Coz i feel 2500+ITAs can not be continued for longer period, last time we even touched 3k almost..

Just want to visualise the worst case? I stand at 457 - scary

I think even if number of invitations decreased scores will still drop but will take more time

Correct. Scores will at least drop to 450 in the first half of the year.

The ITA's got lower in 2016 because of paper appication backlog. Now as they have cleared a significant amount of these in 2016 and with the present target of economic immigration being 71000 without PNPs it is expected that the draws will be above 2500 considering 2 draws per month to fill in this quota.

Dont worry every one of us is facing this constraint till we receive an ITA. Its part and parcel for the hunt for ITA. ???

I think the wait will be over by March (this year ;D) for people in the range of 460 to 467.

I hope also for the people between 450 and 460!

They might have to wait for April to May. But for certain their time is near.

Yeah, I hear ya! It is nervewrecking. I talked to this one girl from Russia that entered EE with 451 CRS and got ITA the day after haha! It was in 2015.

I also read today a great story on Fb:

"It's a miracle! Got the ITA in the 19th Oct draw, submitted all the documents on 26th of Nov, received the approval letter requesting for passport on 22nd of December (in less than a month), submitted my passport on 26th Dec, received the visa and COPR day before yesterday - 4th of Jan! The entire process took less than 6 weeks Blessed beyond belief! Thank you Lord!"

So there's always a place for a miracle and the unexpected, and when you wait this long imagine the outcome <3 Everything pays back!

Thank you for posting this inspirational story! +1 to you! By the way, I am also a girl from Russia and also entered EE with 451 points. But have been waiting since June 2016. Now increased to 459 and hoping to get an ITA in the next 2-3 months.

How did you increase 8 points? Ielts?

 

[Pat180715]

How did you increase 8 points? Ielts?

No, 8 points for my husband's education. He did ECA. My IELTS is almost maximum, short of 3 points. I don't know yet whether to re-take it to reach the maximum.

Oh okay. I am 6 points short of maxing ielts but I am not taking it again. Not worth it.

I'm sitting at 441 and waiting for spouse eca and Ielts. I feel irritated that Wes is taking forever to move things. It's in document received state for more than one week. I'm likely to miss next draw for sure, but I really don't want to miss the draw after. Spouse Ielts results would be out on Jan 20 and trf might come the week next. Hoping the evaluation ends real quick.

I wouldn't feel this bad if the scores remained high, but I just don't want to miss a potential chance. My score could be between 463-469 depending upon spouse Ielts scores. I already feel bad that I missed a chance in last draw, considering the fact that i could have got invite if spouse score happen to be clb 9.

I also feel I should have got .5 more in listening so that I would have got those extra 3 points. Extra 3 points mean potential to touch 470, and 470 has much ita assurance than 460s. But at the same time, I also feel lucky that I didn't lose 0.5 in listening that would have pushed my band to clb8, and lose a lot of points.

Just venting out frustrations as its the ray of hope thread!
