Hi all,
First of all big congrats to all 440rs who got their ITAs recently ! It was historic moment..
I got into the pool in Oct 2015 with CRS 446, waited for more than 12 months to listen something positive from the CIC but it was all going mad with them. Then came the announcement that CIC will finish off 90% of the files from the FSW 2015 plan by Oct 2016 and once they do that EE will be the main source of selection of new immigrants into Canada, and boy didn't they live up to their promise (for once)!!
I have been in the pool for long enough to ensure you guys that this is the first time that there is a certain sense of positivity. EE now really seem to have stabilised. Year 2016 has been by and large a failure on the part of Canadian Inmigration office, they took all the refugees in at the cost of intellectual and experienced class waiting right over the edge. I lost valuable 5 points in this long wait, now Im at 441.
But I'm not sitting quiet here, in the meantime I have cleared French language DELF diplomas A 1, A 2 & B 1. Im going for the TEF in April, hopefully this time around I won't need the TEF scores and the cutoff naturally comes down and I get my much awaited ITA..
Well, I'm writing in this forum after an year... would love to hear from all of the 440rs as what they have been doing this long to ensure , somehow , climb the ladder ..
