I was at 430 all of last year and score dropped to 425 this year, never received PNP invitation from Ontario.prachi.j said:
But you shouldn't worry about it, since you are likely to get an ITA in the next draw!!
If it were just French speakers, that would hardly influence draws. However Canadian siblings, that is a wild card (very difficult to estimate), so it will most likely result in some draw increases.fatani said:
Yes you are right because still if CLB 7 french and CLB 4-5 English will not give you much points in Express entry about 350 points because you need CLB 9 in anyone of these language to increase your points. So for them like you did OINP is a good option.vensak said:
Yes but when the 1st lot of changes appeared there weren't many people shouting for additional siblings points as the students were. I think student points affects much more because they graduate semester after semester.

True, but imagine situation, where you have one language on CBL 9 and another one on the requested level (but lets say CBL 7). If you are master around 30 years old and if you have 3 years work experience, your score will jump.
Those 30 points can then help people that are now 35 years old, to get back on 450 level.
Still there is such small amount of bilinguals, that this will not matter much (Ontario can barely find 280 applicants like that per year), so the impact on draws will be maybe 20 people per draw that can get through with this rule.
But siblings - that is a wild card. Plus there are some holes there.
What exactly living in Canada means? To have address there? Or to be physically there. And how long before ITA or AOR do they have to be in Canada? And do they have to be there until AOR, PPR, COPR or landing?
Additional points for candidates with siblings in Canada
On June 6, 2017, the Express Entry system will award 15 points to candidates with siblings in Canada.
To get these points, candidates will need to show that the sibling is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who is living in Canada and is 18 years of age or older.
The sibling in Canada must share a mother or father with the principal Express Entry applicant or their spouse or common-law partner. This relationship can be through blood, marriage, common-law partnership or adoption.
Having a sibling in Canada has been shown to improve health and social outcomes by accelerating a newcomer’s integration into their new life in Canada.

It is not further specified. (for example for spousal sponsorship you have to be physically present in Canada during whole application process - safe for short trips out).smarreco said:
Means if simple ielts no benefit. Can't get extra 15.MattyTj said:They forgot to up the age to 35 from 30 where you start losing points!!! Lol
These changes were bandied about almost a year ago because only a tiny fraction of PR applicants were bilingual and they wanted to attract more of them. The sibling connection makes sense as well.
I personally don't think this will have a major impact on scores. It will just help a very small percentage. Plus, we have about 4 more draws before these changes are implemented.
Let's stay hopeful!
Only French+ielts then u can get 15 point.
Yes as you said 20 people wont make much of a difference.vensak said:
As far as siblings point is concerned I think they should change the rule.
A sibling should be a Canadian citizen that is the proof that sibling is living in canada and settled because you have to live 4-5 yrs to get citizenship.
And sibling should also has to give guarantee that he/she will support his/her sibling (applicant) financially for it canadian sibling should provide enough evidence that he/she is in a good financial position. For eg. Savings , Bank statements, Tax returns, or property in possesion in canada etc.
And canadian sibling should also guarantee that he/she will help his/her sibling (applicant) in finding job and will take care of him/her for atleast some period of time.
Because that way it will be justified otherwise if sibling does not support you when you land in canada or your destination is different province whats the point in giving bonus points then. And lots of people have bitter relationship with their siblings like they will provide documents to prove relationship but once he/she lands in canada it will be little to no support.
Look in our modern world english is a sole source of communication which we learn from the beginning of our lives. So even with little to no knowledge getting CLB 4-5 in english is a no mean feat.Muhammad.fahad said:
You just need good french knowledge if anyone can achieve CLB 7 in french I think his/her chances are more bright now. As our friend vensak got in with only 334 CRS points but he was nominated by OINP because of need of french speakers in Ontario. So by today's standards if you are a native french speaker you are 95% sure of immigrating to canada.
