few ways one can increase score
1. Improve ielts for self and wife
2. Take up French for self and wife
3. Land a job LMIA approved
4. Upgrade your education (timespan will be more and expensive also)
5. Increase your work experience if less than 3 years ( again time bound)
6. Reduce your age ( no way known to man yet)

0. Get a provincial nomination

My husband is the main applicant and we are waiting for his ECA. We will be receiving it any day now.
BUT he missed CLB 9 with S:8,L:8,W:6,R:8 :( He is retaking IELTS on this weekend. I hope we can catch the next draw

So our overal score: 400 :-[

My friend at work telling me that we won't make it, I want to kill her :'(

seriously all the hope inside me is dead now...

S:8,L:8,W:6,R:8 all 8 with writing 6 is a bit unbalanced. I think he can improve with some effort. And the improvement will boost you up.

Also about your friend... how about just unfriend her :) LoL, You need a clean criminal record ;)

Yes, re-take IELTS. But you should create EE profile as soon the ECA is done, without waiting for re-IELTS score. Even if you are at 400, keep your EE profile active at all times. You never know when Ontario starts giving ITAs again .. so am sure you don't want to miss on the chance.

Thank you,

Yes, we have created our profile, as soon as we get ECA we will submit it even though our CRS is 400-401
Can you give any advice about how we he can improve his writing to 7?

His last score

Speaking 8
Listening 8
Writing 6 (must be 7 to reach CLB 9) (this weekend he is retaking IELTS, any advice?)
Reading 8

I just want to see her face when I get that PR LOL:D I guess she is just making jokes but doesn't know how sensitive I am about this issue:D

My guess is that this delay has something to do with the new program called "Atlantic Immigration Pilot" which was launched on March 6th this year.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/atlantic/eligibility.asp

This looks like they have turned PEI and other Atlantic province PNPs to electronic application.

I don't think it would bother EE draw declaration.

And you need a job offer. Looks hard for outland applications.

Anyway, lets keep our hope up for a draw this week, Rainbows and unicorns 8)
 
Hey folks,
Let's update each other on this whatsapp group on draw status. Forum thread isn't real time.

Keep the writing simple and uncomplicated. Don't focus on big words. Simple sentence construction with stress on correct grammar. Ensure that the flow in writing is logical and coherent and not just a mix of garbled thoughts. Transition from paragraph to paragraph should be smooth.. And most importantly.. handwriting!

Thank you for this info.. +1 for you.. I hope he doesn't let his reading score decrease while he is focusing on writing :) I have seen many people on the forum in this situation...

Of course, he must not be stressed so I am not showing him my emotions lol... I am acting like everything is normal, he can take the exam again whenever he wants, like there is no excitement at all:D
 
I am still disappointed as there was no draw yesterday. I was hoping for a secret draw in the night which hasn't happened
 
I'm not going to speculate anymore.
