Ok what time of the day are ITA announcements made? Or it varies from draw to draw? Haha it's morning over here and I'm having a hard time starting my day, just sitting here checking and checking. At what point today can we be certain that it's not going to be issued today? Noon? 5 pm? Don't think I can take a whole day of this, lol

It varies a lot. Best case scenario: 1 hour from now, worst case: in about 5 hours :D

Considering there WILL be a draw today. :D

Good news guys!! There'll be a draw today: 2600 ITAs @ CRS 437

First
You might want to reconsider your preparation for writing in IELTS for April 8th.
Too many grammatical & punctuation mistakes.

Second
Even when you haven't taken baby steps, you don't teach your father how to play football.

All the best !

sorry if my poems are boring. I was just trying to get over my anxiety of "The Draw" and cheer you all too.
I can't write one. So if you've written something, all of us should not discourage you atleast.

Dont be disheartened. I dont think anyone has take 5 or more attempts to get the score. I nailed it finally, got my ITA, submitted eAPR and now this wait kills even more.

I thought the ITA was like winning an Oscar. I think the PPR will be my oscar.

Perfect example of moving the goalpost.
First ITA, then meds, PPR, COPR, and then may be settlement related goals

This is what being "HUMAN" is. At first we thought it is IELTS then comes the ITA then comes the PPR then comes the work in Canada...we can never settle down on one you know. :P
 
First of all if a draw happen today its ray of hope for us. And if that draw takes us somewhere below 434 its like hitting the jackpot.

OMG you are so right!!! First it was waiting for ECA, which was maddening, and I was so elated when they finally sent that ECA email. Today the excitement had worn off and now it's back to being nervous about when the draw is going to be announced. It just never ends

ECA / IELTS ----> ITA ----> eAPR ---> PPR ---> COPR ---> Landing ---> job in the desired field ---> citizenship. will it end there? i dont think so.
 
I will say to myself good job! for being able to keep it together and wait for 1 year to get my Canadian Experience.

First stage cleared! Now I have to wait to get an ITA, complete my documents and wait again. One step at a time, one step a time.

If it's not for me, it's not for me...so I keep telling myself...


F5 F5 F5 F5 :P

Nah, I think if I'm lucky enough to ever reach and get through landing stage, it's the end of any big worries, anything beyond that is minor. It's not like you're going to be kicked out of Canada if you can't find a job in the desired field? Or is that the case? And who cares about citizenship once you have residency?
